In an era saturated with consumerism and superficial values, Two Door Cinema Club's track delves into the disorientation and loss of identity that come from societal pressures. The lyrics question whether individuals are prepared for the realities of a world where priorities are skewed towards materialism and fame rather than genuine achievement or self-awareness. Through phrases like "sacred cow" and "you could be president," the song critiques how society idolizes unattainable standards and false idols. The repeated refrain, "Are we ready? Hold it steady," serves as a call to critically evaluate our readiness to navigate or challenge these norms. Ultimately, the song underscores a collective existential crisis, urging a reevaluation of what truly matters in an increasingly detached world.
Are We Ready? (Wreck)
Lyrics
Beyond a sacred cow
Stand up, take a bow
You're wonderful
You should be comfortable, don't think at all
Just don't think at all, think at all
Now, now you're digging around
What will you write about?
How did you find that out?
You get paid, don't need any respect
Senses fading, she's no lady
Oh, we've made a mistake
We've lost our minds
We've lost our memory
Oh, what's it gonna take?
There's always something else
Waiting on the shelf
You could be president
You never paid the rent but I don't mind
You got no reason to [?]
It can't be good enough
(Good enough)
Now, now you're throwing the stone
You never simplify
Somebody stretch your eye
What will you say
With that mind of your own
Are we ready?
Hold it steady
Oh, we've made a mistake
We've lost our minds
We've lost our memory
Oh, what's it gonna take?
There's always something else
So occupy yourself
I saw the world today
It comes in green and gray
Refrigerator humming
Chewing gum and instant karma
The wars are whoring
All the stores are bored with all your money
We follow what's to come
That's what they sold to me
Now, now you're throwing the stone
You never simplify
Somebody stretch your eye
What will you say
With that mind of your own
Are we ready?
Hold it steady
Now, now you're throwing the stone (oh, we've made a mistake)
We've lost our minds (you never simplify)
We've lost our memory (somebody stretch your eye)
What will you say
With that mind of your own (oh, what's it gonna take?)
There's always something else
Are we ready?
Waiting on the shelf
Hold it steady
