[Outro] Now I'm ready to start I would rather be wrong Than live in the shadows of your song My mind is open wide And now I'm ready to start And now I'm ready to start My mind is open wide And now I'm ready to start Not sure you'll open the door To step out into the dark Now I'm ready

This song is capable of being incredibly inspiring to average, everyday listeners just as much as it is to Arcade Fire.
Anyone who has ever worked for “the man” knows how unfulfilling it can be to spend your days satisfying the agendas of your employer. That’s why this song could also be considered a rally cry for those who no longer want to be owned by those they are paid to bow down to. It encourages you to “open your mind”, “step out into the dark”, and be “ready to start” living out the passions of your own life.
