Although already one of the leading DJ lights in the new slightly left of centre world of dance music, Hyper really does seem to have taken on a life of its own over the last 6 months.
The process of recording 'We Control' lead to the formation of Hyper, the band. Joining Hyper (Guy Hatfield) and production partner Ronnie in collaborations on this record are Leeroy Thronhill (ex Prodigy), Wildchild (LA rapper), US Breakbeat superstars The Crystal Method, Jim Davies (Pitchshifter), Dirty Harry (infamous UK rock chick and Tommy Lee collaborator), MC Xander and Kieron Pepper.
Starting out based around samples and ideas from bands such as Killing Joke, Adam & The Ants and even Anti-Nowhere League, the album mutated naturally into a living breathing LIVE production.
In 2011, Hyper will release another full length artist album, titled 'The Panic'.
He began his active career under the name of Hyper in 1999 when he released Blaze It Up (12")
Are You Ready
Hyper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Are you listening?)
Did you even hear a word that I said?
Does it seem like I am distancing?
(Like I am distancing?)
Well it's probably cause our love is dead
I don't know anymore
Feel it in my core
(With my guitar I play the same 3 chords)
(With my guitar)
All my vocals clear (Yuh!)
Harmonizing in your ear (Yuh!)
I'm succumbing to my thoughts
I said baby are you listening let's set the record straight baby
We don't got much time so we do not gotta wait baby
Listen to these rhymes cause they all for you
I'm trapped up in my head think I'm meeting my doom
(She been screaming in my head)
Losing my mind did not take my meds
One wrong move imma end up dead
Cause they niggas wanna kill me wanna fill me up with led
I won't let it phase me you know you my baby
I been thinking lately
She said that she hate me
Tell me baby are listening?
(Are you listening?)
Did you even hear a word that I said?
Does it seem like I am distancing?
(Like I am distancing?)
Well it's probably cause our love is dead
The lyrics to Hyper's song "Are You Ready" depict a troubled relationship where the singer feels unheard and disconnected from their partner. The opening lines ask if the partner is truly listening and if they have been paying attention to the singer's words. The use of repetition emphasizes the frustration and disbelief that the singer feels. They suggest that the distance between them is due to their love being dead, indicating that the relationship has lost its spark and emotional connection.
The mention of playing the same three chords on the guitar could symbolize the monotony and repetitive nature of the relationship. It could also imply that the singer feels stuck in this cycle and is unable to find a way out. The vocals being clear and harmonizing in the listener's ear showcases the performer's desperation to be heard and understood.
The second verse delves into the singer's struggle with their own thoughts and emotions. They feel trapped in their own head, fearing that they are spiraling towards a dark fate. The lyrics hint at the singer's mental state, mentioning not taking their medication and the constant screaming in their head. The mention of others wanting to harm them creates a sense of paranoia and vulnerability.
Towards the end, the singer expresses their conflicted feelings towards their partner. They acknowledge that they still care for them, referring to them as "baby," but also feel hated by them. The repetition of the opening lines in the final chorus reinforces the theme of feeling unheard and ignored.
Overall, "Are You Ready" explores the strain and breakdown of a relationship, highlighting the feelings of disconnect, frustration, and internal struggles of the singer.

Yes
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
