Ready
Living End Lyrics

Living End's song "Ready" is about the struggle of letting go of someone you love even when you know they are not good for you. The first line, "Well if she's not that kind to you, don't ya think we're through buddy?" The singer acknowledges that the object of their affection might not treat them well, endangering their relationship. On the other hand, giving up on them is not easy because they still love them as is evident in the line," But is she the kind that you would buy the spirits before you're ready, ready, ready."

The chorus, "You're not ready, ready, ready,
You're not ready, ready, ready,
You're not ready, ready, ready to be alone," reflects how the singer is afraid of losing the person they love and being alone. It can also represent the fear of not being ready to move on from a relationship or a fear of being single. The repeated line emphasizes the fear and anxiety that the singer is feeling.

Overall, the song urges the listener not to hold onto a toxic and harmful relationship and move on to find true happiness. However, it also recognizes the difficulty of doing so and the fear of being alone.
