Ready to Go
♫ Panic! At the Disco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got these little things
That you've been running from
You either love it or guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing
To be running from anyone
A vision with nowhere to go

So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it out of here
I think I'm ready to leave
I'm ready to live

I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind
Get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh, oh, oh

You got these little things
You wanted something for them
You either get it or guess you won't
Well does it really mean
To get nothing from anyone
There's a million ways it could go

So tell me right now
You think you're ready for it
I wanna know
Why you got me going
So let's go
We'll take it out of here
I think I'm ready to leave
I'm ready to live

I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh, oh, oh

I think I'm ready I think
I know I'm ready I know
I think I'm ready I think
I know I'm ready I know
I think I'm ready I think
I know I'm ready I know
I think I'm ready I think
I know I'm ready I know

I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh, oh, oh

I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh, oh, oh

I'm ready to go
Get me out my mind
Get me out my mind
I'm ready to go




Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 'Ready To Go' by Panic! At The Disco seem to be about someone who is ready to take a leap of faith, whether it be in love or in life. The first verse seems to describe the person's fears and apprehensions. They are running away from something, possibly past traumas or mistakes. However, they are also acknowledged as a "pretty thing," perhaps implying that they have potential for something great. The chorus talks about being ready to leave and live. The repetition of "I'm ready to go" represents the person's determination to change and take action.


The second verse hints that the little things the person is running away from could be their dreams or ambitions. They either get what they want or don't, and it's ambiguous as to whether these little things are actually important or irrelevant. But the point is that there are a million ways things could go, a million paths to take, and it's up to the person to choose. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the desire to be freed from the grip of the things that hold them back.


Overall, 'Ready To Go' is an anthemic encouragement to embrace change and move forward with conviction, not allowing the past to hold one back from what's ahead.
