Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind)

Panic! at the Disco

You've got these little things
That you've been running from
You either love it or I 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 outta here
I think I'm ready to leap
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 ooh, oh oh ooh

You've got these little things
You wanted something for 'em
You either get it or I guess you won't
What 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 leap
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 ooh, oh oh ooh

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 ooh, oh oh ooh

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

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

A pocket full of fancy words

    My interpretation is that he's been in a confusing phase and he got stuck in it for awhile because of indecisions. Finally, he's come into some kind of resolution and he's ready to leave whatever it is behind and take chances.

    IDK, this is Panic! at the Disco. Can't take their lyrics and videos literally. But that's my shot at it.

    I like this song. And I love the Vices and Virtues album!:-)

    I love this song! It's so beautiful! :D for me, the lyrics are about....a girl who got dumped by a guy and she's still upset about it but now she's "Ready to go", ready to live her life and give someone another chance at love. The guy (singing the song to her) He wants to take the relationship to the next level hence the lines,

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

    That's what I think the lyrics mean. :)

    "Get me out of my mind" You are your own worst enemy and that's what he is ready to get away from. He wants to go away from all the judgement and stuff that we go through as people everyday. "You either love it, or I guess you don't." So only do what makes you happy and don't worry about those "little things that you've been running from."

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
