Ready To Go

Christopher's song 'Ready To Go' delves into the emotional turmoil of losing a friend and the subsequent struggle to move forward. The lyrics poignantly ask, 'Where do you go when you've lost a friend?' and 'How do you sleep when you don't wanna wake up again?' These questions reflect a deep sense of loss and confusion, capturing the listener's attention with their raw vulnerability. The artist's use of rhetorical questions emphasizes the internal conflict and the difficulty of finding solace in the face of such a significant loss.

The recurring imagery of 'wheels burning' and 'yours keep turning around' symbolizes the relentless passage of time and the ongoing nature of life, even when one feels stuck. This metaphor highlights the contrast between the singer's emotional paralysis and the world's continuous motion. The repeated line, 'I'm not ready to go,' underscores the singer's reluctance to move on, suggesting a profound attachment to the past and an inability to embrace the future. This sentiment is further reinforced by the line, 'How do you hold on when there's nothing to hold on to?' which conveys a sense of hopelessness and the struggle to find meaning in a world that feels empty without the lost friend.

The song also touches on the concept of home and belonging, with the line, 'And what is a home run if it's a home without you?' This metaphor suggests that achievements and milestones lose their significance when they cannot be shared with loved ones. Christopher's soulful delivery and the melancholic melody enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics, making 'Ready To Go' a powerful exploration of grief, loss, and the difficulty of moving forward. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of losing someone close, offering a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of such a loss.
