According to Arcade Fire's Win Butler, this song is about stepping outside the boundaries that are already defined. "For me, the feeling of "Ready to Start" came from going to art school and meeting a lot of people who had really defined political ideas and rules about art. But I just wanted to make something in the world and worry about the rest of it later and not get too caught up in rules." - bit.ly

According to Grace Slick, this song's meaning is often misinterpreted. "I always felt like a good-looking schoolteacher singing 'White Rabbit.' I'd sing the words slowly and precisely, so the people who needed to hear them wouldn't miss the point. But they did. To this day, I don't think most people realize the song was aimed at parents who drank and told their kids not to do drugs. I felt they were full of s--t, but to write a good song, you need a few more words than that." - bit.ly
