Are You Ready
Three Days Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'd said we'd never get this far
You said your words, we've played our parts
Said your two cents now
It's my turn
So, sit down, shut up
Are you ready?

So, you think you know how this story goes
Are you ready for this?

Sit down, are you ready for this?
Shut up, are you ready for this?
Stand up, are you ready for this?
Restrain
Are you ready?

I thought you'd never come this far
I thought your words meant something more
Said my two cents now
It's your turn
So stand up and scream
Are you ready?

So you think you know how this story goes
Are you ready for this?

Sit down, are you ready for this?
Shut up, are you ready for this?
Stand up, are you ready for this?
Restrain
Are you ready?

Are you ready?
Are you ready for this?

Sit down, are you ready for this?
Shut up, are you ready for this?
Stand up, are you ready for this?




Restrain
Are you ready for this?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Three Days Grace's song "Are You Ready" seem to be a challenge to someone who has doubted the band's ability to succeed. The opening lines suggest that someone (perhaps a critic or detractor) had predicted that Three Days Grace would not make it as far as they have. The band is reminding this person that they have indeed accomplished much and are ready to prove themselves even further. The lyrics then shift to calling out this person to see if they are prepared for what is coming next. The repeated refrain of "Sit down, shut up, are you ready?" serves to emphasize the challenge being issued.


The second verse turns things around, with the band acknowledging that they personally had some doubts about their potential success. However, they are now ready to prove themselves, urging the doubter to "stand up and scream" if they are truly prepared for what is to come. Overall, the lyrics seem meant to be empowering, both for Three Days Grace and for their fans (who may also be experiencing their own doubts or challenges).
