The Format – I'm Ready, I Am Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm nicotine
I'm coming clean
I fooled the crowd
when i made it sound
like i was more than ready
(I'm nicotine I'm coming clean is saying he is coming clean from the bad life or old life he he is in.i fooled the crowd when i made it sound like i was more than ready could have a number of meanings. In my opinion the meaning is saying no one expected him to make the change he is making or about to make.)

strike up the band,
deprive my sleep,
cause theres no love
like appathy.
the bell that tolls
rings loud enough
that it should have
woke us up.
(You really have to look into this stanza. It could have a number of meanings but in my opinon he is saying wake me up(strike up the band deprive my sleep is suppose to make the listener think of loud noises and sleep deprivation which are two things that make you awake. The bell that tollds rings loud enough that it should have woke us up means that we should have listened long ago or we should have woke up along ago and listened to advice because if we didnt we would be trying to "wake up" or get out of this life.)

chorus-
im trying to find truth in words,
in rhymes and notes
in all the things i wish i wrote
cause i feel like ive been losing you.
(This stanza means he is trying to find way to a new start or new life, to dig out of his old or current life by writing and singing which is his talent. He is trying to make up for regrets or past events that he wish he could take back... maybe not waking up to the bells that were tolling.....he is doing all of this to try to have a fresh start with a lover Because lately its been the same old and hasnt been working. he needs to find a new way and will be passionate in doing so.)

i read your last entry,
overprivelidged kids keep crying.
they need to fit in,
its harder when living life from a screen.
old classmates please drop all your pens,
dont write a word cause i wont reply
and im not bitter, no
its just ive past that point in my life.
( I read your last entry could mean he read something his lover wrote or is reading something he wrote in the past. overprivalged kids keep crying, they need to fit in, its harder when living life from a screen- this most likely means he is wealthy and never had to do much to get what he wants, and he surrounds himself with all these people that arent really his kind of people.. he is pretending to be himself noted by the connotation living life from a screen which is associated with acting. old classmates please drop all your pends, dont write a note cause i wont reply, and im not bitter no its just ive passed that point in my life- this means he wants all of his peers or maybe even habits that are effecting his love life or life in general need to stop. and he is saying he will not reply to those habits anymore. he will find a way out whether it be to start a new life or find a new way to be with his lover that will work.)

chorus-
im trying to find truth in words,
in rhymes and notes
in all the things i wish i wrote
cause i feel like ive been losing you.
(see first chorus)

each night it ends too soon.
you dont hold me like you used to
and your eyes look like theyve seen too much cause
its always some excuse--
too tired, too obtuse.
you look so far removed.
this time i fear im losing losing you.
(Each night it ends to soon means he is not enjoying life and its just passing away, whether it be with his lover or just life in general.. he is saying his life is meaningless right now. You dont hold me like you used to and your eyes look like they've seen to much- this means his lover is growing tired of him and he knows this by the way she has a lack of intimacy toward him and his lovers eyes seeing to much just means that his lover is sick of him. its always some excuse, to tired to obtuse- this means that there relationship is getting boring and his lover never wants to do anyhting spontaneous or maybe just anything at all because his lover is either too tired or what he wants to do is to big to handle.)

m nicotine.
im a cash machine.
im the color green
and you should have seen
the looks i just received.
(i'm nicotine, im a cash machine, im the color green- in the begining of the song he says he is nicotine and is coming clean meaning he is in his bad habited life but is trying to clean up. IN this stanza he is saying he is nicotine and a cash machine and also the color green. this could mean things are working out.. the color green is money and it is associated with the cash machine. money going where its suppose to might be a metaphor for things are going the way he wants/needs them too. When he says he should, you should have seen the look i just recieved, i have no idea what that means=///)

i need a reason to let go.
an intervention, a lullaby.
something to cure me,
please believe me.
(THis stanza he is simply saying he needs reason to let go of all these habits that are causing his bad or naive life, such as an intervention... which will supposedly fix what is broken in his relationship, or a lullaby which is associated with goodbye. he is saying lets fix this or end it... just something to cure me from what i am living right now. please believe me just means he is serious about what he is saying.)
