Gonna Be Ready
Ready for Change: Tokyo Police Club's Cold Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I am gonna be ready
I am preparing myself for something.
Still number one
Despite challenges, I aim to stay on top.
Never let anybody touch you
Possibly advising someone to be cautious and not let others harm them.
Cold, colder than anyone
Describing a sense of emotional distance, being emotionally reserved.
You feel it all a moment later than I do
Implying a difference in emotional responsiveness between the speaker and someone else.
And every time I drive in the city,
Reflecting on seeing someone or something while driving in the city.
I think see you turning around
Suggesting the feeling of being watched or monitored.
Upset incredible headache
Expressing emotional distress, possibly from witnessing something upsetting.
How bad? I am calling a medic
Reacting to the distress by considering calling for medical assistance.
I am gonna be ready
Reiterating the preparedness for something, possibly challenging or uncertain.
Wait for the heat to break
Waiting for a difficult situation to pass or improve.
Your doing fine on your own
Assuring someone that they are doing well independently.
Cold, colder than anyone
Repeating the theme of emotional detachment or coldness.
You feel it all a moment later than I do
Reiterating the difference in emotional timing between the speaker and another person.
And every time I drive in the city,
Recalling a specific experience of driving in the city and perceiving someone.
I think see you turning around
Feeling a sense of paranoia or uncertainty about someone's actions.
Upset incredible headache
Continuing to express emotional distress, possibly escalating.
How bad? I am calling a medic
Considering a more urgent need for medical attention.
I am gonna be ready
Reiterating the readiness for an upcoming challenge or situation.
Let down I keep it together
Enduring disappointment but maintaining composure.
Upset, I have never been better
Paradoxically stating that being upset has improved the speaker's state.
I gonna be ready
Reaffirming the preparedness for something.
Living in the mind of girls
Commenting on the complexities of understanding the thoughts of girls.
Who would never say shit to me now
Feeling ignored or unnoticed by certain individuals.
As pretty as they were in high school
Reflecting on the attractiveness of individuals from the past.
I wonder if I'll see them around, around
Wondering if those attractive individuals will be encountered again.
Upset incredible headache
Reiterating emotional distress and the consideration of medical assistance.
How bad? I am calling a medic
Intensifying the need for urgent medical attention.
I gonna be ready
Stating once more the readiness for an upcoming challenge.
Let down I keep it together
Experiencing disappointment but maintaining composure.
Upset, I have never been better
Paradoxically expressing improvement in the face of upset emotions.
I gonna be ready
Reaffirming the preparedness for something.
