Are You Ready
m.e.l.t 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
Change your mind, I know you live in hell
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 lyrics of "Are You Ready" by m.e.l.t. talk about feeling disconnected from oneself and afraid to feel emotions. The singer seems to have lost touch with reality by thinking too much, and as a result, they find it hard to believe that they are good enough to receive love. They are stuck in a negative cycle of thinking that life is tough, so their life is tough. However, Julie, presumably a friend or a loved one, tells them that they need to rebel and change their mind if they want to get out of this mindset. The song's chorus consists of the repeated question, "Are you ready to rebel?" which implies that change is not easy, but it is necessary.
The second verse of the song says that the singer's beliefs are holding them back, and they need to find a way to develop love within themselves. They need to start believing that they are good enough to receive love, which seems to be the key to breaking out of the negative cycle they are in. The song suggests that forgetting why we're here can lead to fear, and being alone with our thoughts can make us feel like we need nothing, which can further exacerbate our negative feelings.
Overall, "Are You Ready" is a call to action for anyone who feels stuck in a negative cycle of thinking. The song suggests that rebelling against our negative beliefs is the first step towards changing our lives for the better. The lyrics are powerful and relatable, and the message is uplifting, making it a perfect pep talk for anyone going through a tough time.
