Between destinations and among thousands of miles, it took the time to throw unique live performances, compose and record for the three albums it has released until now. -December 2004 – “Nomad Rhymes” -October 2005 – “Anger as a Gift” -December 2007 – “Trend Off”. The band's third album, 'Trend Off', was released on the 10th of December 2007, exactly three years after their first album, “Nomad Rhymes”. This time the team enlarged, as eleven musicians put their hard work into making the music for the album. It was long awaited and very well received by the public. 2009 brings the band back on track for some new events and album planning. The first live appearance of Sorin Erhan, Dominic Csergo and Mani Gutau as Urma band members for this year takes place in Budapest, on the 10th of April, after almost three years since their last one. A set of further surprise live events will take place as a preview of the new album soon to be released this year, “Lost End Found”. No boundaries, maybe that’s what best defines Urma at the moment. Whether it’s 3 or 12 musicians, a hometown or an international city, music happens this year.

Ready Or Not
Urma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

show me what you got
give me your best shot
i won't run

hit me with your words
place yourself above
i won't mind

open all the doors
and let me see the false
i won't tell

a friend stays a friend

play the usual game
blame me for your pain
you won't heal

settle all your scores
crucify my hopes
you won't win

leave your self defense
and play your innocence
i won't fight

a friend stays a friend

ready or not i won't run whatever taking out of me
ready or not i won't hide whatever you might feel for me
ready or not

show me what you need
let me pay the trip
i don't need your answers
a friends stays a friend
open all the doors
let me see the false
you don't need my answers
a friend stays a friend

ready or not i won't run whatever taking out of me

ready or not i won't hide whatever you mïght feel for me
ready or not

The chorus, "ready or not I won't run, whatever taking out of me, ready or not I won't hide, whatever you might feel for me," reinforces the idea that they won't be intimidated or pushed away by negative feelings or actions from the other person. The third verse, "settle all your scores, crucify my hopes, you won't win," implies that the other person may be holding a grudge or trying to take revenge, but they won't succeed in hurting the singer.
