Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get ready for it
You said whatever you put out there
Whatever you put out there is gonna come back
You said whenever you are ready
Whenever you are ready just let it all out
And I know cos the enemy inside me
But we know there's something in the silence
There's something in the silence
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
You said there's only one place left to find
Together we can save the world tonight
Get ready for it
You said every life is a lesson
Are you a fool or a Kingsman?
'Cause only you know
Hold on cos the volume is rising
Yeah the volume is rising so you better hold on
The night is young
Until it's over
Until it's over
The night is young
The night is ours
Until tomorrow
Until tomorrow
Get ready for it
Yeah get ready for it
You said there's only one place left to find
Together we can save the world tonight
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it

The night is young
Until it's over

You said there's only one place left to find
Together we can save the world tonight
Get ready for it

The song "Get Ready for It" by Take That is a motivational anthem that inspires listeners to embrace the future and have faith in themselves. The lyrics are a call to action, encouraging people to be prepared for whatever challenges they may face in life. The song begins with the lines "You said whatever you put out there, whatever you put out there is gonna come back. You said whenever you are ready, whenever you are ready just let it all out." These lyrics allude to the idea that what we put out into the world is what we will receive back, and that we should not hold back when expressing ourselves.
The next verse touches on the idea of inner conflict, with the lines "And I know cos the enemy inside me, 'Cause the enemy inside me is holding me back." This could refer to doubts or fears that can prevent us from achieving our goals. However, the chorus provides a sense of hope and determination, repeating the phrase "Get ready for it" as a rallying cry to prepare oneself for success. The song ends on a positive note, with the lines "I'll hold your hand with good intentions, The night is ours until tomorrow."
