Are You Ready
James A. Johnston Feat. Chris Warren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Julie says that I must wake up
I am losing touch 'cause I think too much
I'm afraid to feel, my life feels unreal
You will not find love if you think you're not good enough
Are you ready to rebel
Are you ready, oh
All of my beliefs, they come back to me
I think life is tough, so my life is tough
She says find a way to develop love
To receive my love, believe you are good enough
Are you ready to rebel
Change your mind, I know you live in hell,
Are you ready
When we forget why we're here
Out goes love, in comes fear
And if not then, I'm all alone
I need nothing 'til my mind takes hold
Hold, hold
Are you ready to rebel
Are you ready
The song "Are You Ready" by James A. Johnston feat. Chris Warren touches on the theme of self-doubt and the fear of feeling. The opening lines "Julie says that I must wake up, I am losing touch 'cause I think too much" indicate that the singer is feeling disconnected from reality and consumed by his thoughts. He is afraid to feel and thinks his life is unreal. The lyrics suggest that such self-doubt can hinder one's ability to find love and be happy.
The chorus of the song, "Are you ready to rebel, change your mind, I know you live in hell, are you ready," seems to be an encouragement to the listener to break free from negative thought patterns and rebel against self-doubt. The singer urges the listener to find a way to develop love and believe that they are good enough to receive it. The lines "when we forget why we're here, out goes love, in comes fear" suggest that losing sight of one's purpose in life can lead to fear and negativity.
All in all, "Are You Ready" speaks to the universal struggle of self-doubt and the importance of developing self-love and a positive mindset.
