Are You Ready
Rasmus Faber feat. Emily McEwan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I number one?
I've been waiting
Are you ready
Will I come undone
Without winning your lover
Don't you see it's not the time to have me count the days
Don't you realize that I am trying to ask you:
Now it's time
Are you ready
Am I number one?
I've been waiting
Are you ready
Will I come undone
Without winning your lover
Don't you see it's not the time to have me count the days
Don't you realize that I am trying to ask you:
Are you ready, this time
Now it's time
The lyrics to Rasmus Faber feat. Emily McEwan's song 'Are You Ready' revolves around the idea of questioning whether the person she loves is ready to commit to a relationship with her. Throughout the verses, she asks if she is their number one choice, if they are ready to take the next step, and if they are willing to love her fully. The repetition of the phrase "Are you ready" suggests an eagerness to know where they stand in their relationship, feeling a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability without confirmation of the other person's feelings.
The chorus emphasizes the urgency of the situation as she fears coming undone without receiving the love she desires. She realizes that counting the days and waiting for that person to make a decision does not make sense anymore, and it is time for them to be upfront about their feelings.
Overall, the song presents a relatable and emotional message about the struggles of being in a confusing and uncertain relationship. It portrays someone who fears being vulnerable and not receiving the commitment they need from their partner. The question "Are you ready?" carries a deep meaning that symbolizes the entire premise of the song.

This remix is amazing and I personally like it better than the original song. I played this tune every single day while I was visiting Saint Martin and it will always bring back the fond memories I had on that beautiful island.
