Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you'll just never know
There could be something right past the turnpike gates
But you'll just never know
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
And if the heaven ain't got a vacancy
Get up and go
Ladies and gentleman, truth
Is now acceptable fame
Is now injectable process the progress
This core is critical faith
Is unavailable lives
Become incredible now
Please understand that
I can't slow down
I won't be waiting for you
I can't stop now because I'm dancing
This planet's ours to defend
Ain't got no time to pretend
Don't fuck around, this is our last chance
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy
And we just, and we just, and we just, and we just
Get up and go
(Who) they want you to be
(Who) they wanted to see
(Go) kill the party with me and never go home
Who they want you to be
Who they wanted to see
Just leave the party with me and never go home
You're unbelievable
Ah, so unbelievable
Ah, you ruin everything
Oh, you better go home
I'm unbelievable
Yeah, I'm undefeatable
Yeah, let's ruin everything, blast it to the back row
They sell presentable
Young, and so ingestible
Sterile and collectible
Safe, and I can't stand it
This is a letter, my word
Is the beretta, the sound of my vendetta
Against the ones that planned it
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy
Tell me who do you trust, do you trust
And we just get up and go
Who they want you to be
Who they wanted to see
(Go) kill the party with me and never go home
Who they want you to be
Who they wanted to see
Just leave the party with me and never go home
You keep eternity, give us the radio
Deploy the battery, we're taking back control
Engage the energy, light up the effigy
No chance to take it slow
By now I'm sure you know, know, know, know, know (one, two, three, four)
Get up and go
(Who) they want you to be
(Who) they wanted to see
(Go) kill the party with me and never go home
Who they want you to be
Who they wanted to see
Just leave the party with me and never go home
Are we still having fun?
Are you holding the gun?
Take the money and run
We'll never go home
I've got nothing to lose
You've got nothing to say
And we're leaving today
We'll never go home
I think I better go now
I think I better go now
I think I better go now (go home)
Gonna go now, gonna go now, gonna go now, gonna go now
Go now, gonna go now
Go home
The opening stanza of "Planetary (GO!)" by My Chemical Romance urges listeners to be prepared for the unexpected. They sing about a parallel world that might be outside the window, just beyond the turnpike gates, something that could be missed if we don't keep our eyes open. The second stanza expresses that the planet is ours to defend and now is not the time for games, leaving behind the pretense that might get in the way of what is real. It speaks of injecting opinions and processes into our lives, instead of letting them unfold naturally. It describes faith as being unavailable, and that is what helps us move forward in our lives. The chorus repeats multiple times, and the message is clear- don't let go of opportunities that come your way, and dance through life even when it gets tough.

You know it's a great song when:
•The lyrics give you chills
• you can't help but sing along
• you bring it up so much people think your crazy
• it appears on your playlist over five times
•you think you'll break the replay button
•when it's your main supply of caffeine
• it makes you wanna start a rager

[Intro]
There might be something outside your window
But you just never know
There could be something right past the turnpike gates
But you'll just never know
[Pre-Chorus]
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
And if their Heaven ain't got a vacancy
Then we just, then we just, then we just
Then we just get up and go!
[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen, truth is now acceptable
Fame is now injectable, process the progress
This core is critical, faith is unavailable
Lives become incredible, now, please understand that
I can't slow down, I won't be waiting for you
I can't stop now, because I'm dancing
This planet's ours to defend, ain't got no time to pretend
Don't fuck around, this is our last chance
[Pre-Chorus]
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy
Then we just, then we just, then we just
Then we just get up and go!
[Chorus]
Who they want you to be, who they wanted to see
(Go!) Kill the party with me and never go home
Who they want you to be, who they wanted to see
Just leave the party with me and never go home
[Verse 2]
You're unbelievable, ah, so unbelievable
Ah, you ruin everything, oh, you better go home
I'm unbelievable, yeah, I'm undefeatable
Yeah, let's ruin everything, blast it to the back row
They sell presentable, young, and so ingestible
Sterile and collectible, safe, and I can't stand it
This is a letter, my word is the Beretta
The sound of my vendetta against the ones who planned it
[Pre-Chorus]
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
'Cause the emergency room got no vacancy
Tell me, who do you trust, do you trust?
Then we just get up and go!
[Chorus]
Who they want you to be, who they wanted to see
(Go!) Kill the party with me and never go home
Who they want you to be, who they wanted to see
Just leave the party with me and never go home
[Bridge]
You keep eternity, give us the radio
Deploy the battery, we're taking back control
Engage the energy, light up the effigy
No chance to take it slow, by now, I'm sure you
Know, know, know, know, know, know
(1, 2, 3, go!)
Get up and go!
[Chorus]
Who they want you to be, who they wanted to see
(Go!) Kill the party with me and never go home
Who they want you to be, who they wanted to see
Just leave the party with me and never go home
Are we still having fun? Are you holding the gun?
Take the money and run, we'll never (Go home)
I've got nothing to lose, you've got nothing to say
And we're leaving today, we'll never (Go home)
[Outro]
I think I'm gonna go now
I think I'm gonna go now
I think I better go now
Going to go now, going to go now
Going to go now, going to go now
Go now, going to go now
Go home!
