Take It Off
••Kesha Lyrics

There's a place downtown,
Kesha is describing a particular destination in the city center where she frequently frequents.

Where the freaks all come around.
Individuals who are considered outcasts in society make their way to this hangout.

It's a hole in the wall.
The location is not the most upscale, but Kesha and her peers still have a good time there nevertheless.

It's a dirty free for all.
Anything goes in the environment, with a disregard for cleanliness or order.

(And they...) When the dark
When the sun goes down.

Of the night comes around.
It is night-time and everyone is ready to party.

That's the time,
This is the prime moment.

That the animal comes alive.
People release their inner animalistic tendencies when in this setting.

Looking for
Seeking out

Something wild.
Something out of the ordinary that will excite them.

And now we lookin' like pimps
Kesha and her crew are now wearing flashy clothing.

In my gold Trans-Am.
They arrive at the party in an ostentatious, recognizable vehicle.

Got a water bottle full of whiskey
Kesha is carrying alcohol disguised in a nondescript bottle.

In my handbag.
Kesha has stashed her beverage in her purse.

Got my drunk text on it
Kesha has written her phone number on her handbag in her intoxicated state.

I'll regret it in the mornin'
She knows that she'll be sorry for this action in the morning.

But tonight
She's enjoying herself for the moment.

I don't give a
She doesn't care about the consequences of her actions.

There's a place downtown,
Kesha's describing the hangout location again.

Where the freaks all come around.
The same group of social outcasts gathers at this spot.

It's a hole in the wall.
The location is still lowly.

It's a dirty free for all.
Anything goes in this setting, even more so now than before.

(And they) turn me on.
These surroundings are enticing to Kesha.

(When they) take it off.
When individuals begin to remove their clothes.

Everybody, take it off.
Kesha is encouraging everyone to strip down.

There's a place I know
She's referring to another location she's familiar with.

If you're looking for a show.
This place promises to be an eventful experience.

Where they go hardcore
This place promises to be very wild.

And there's glitter on the floor.
The venue is decorated in sparkling confetti.

(And they) turn me on.
Kesha is enticed by this environment too.

(When they) take it off.
When people start to take their clothes off again.

Everybody, take it off.
Kesha is still urging the party-goers to strip.

Lose your mind.
Go crazy.

Lose it now.
Start going wild immediately.

Lose your clothes
Take off your clothes.

In the crowd.
Around people who are similarly uninhibited.

We're delirious.
Kesha is intoxicated and her judgment is impaired.

Tear it down
Destroy everything around you.

'Til the sun comes back around.
Party until the dawn.

N-now we're lookin so smash.
Now Kesha and her friends look even more impressive.

Knocking over trash cans.
They are getting more destructive.

Everybody breakin' bottles
Everyone is intentionally smashing glass bottles.

It's a filthy hot mess.
The situation is out of control.

Gonna get faded
Kesha intends to drink heavily.

I'ma melt the designate
She will drink until her assigned driver is also drunk.

Driver so
Using the driver's condition to her advantage.

I don't give a
Kesha is still reckless and unbothered.

O-oh-o-o-oh, o-o-oh, ooooooooh
The song's repeating chorus.

(Everybody, take it off)
Strip down and get wild.

Right now (take it off)
Kesha is extremely adamant about taking off clothes.

O-whoa-oh.
Kesha infuses a bit of melody into her speech.

O-o-o-oh.
Another interjection of melody.

Right now (take it off)
Reiterating her impatience for the stripping to begin.

There's a place downtown,
Kesha is repeating the chorus.

Where the freaks all come around.
She wants to reinforce the image of the hangout place.

It's a hole in the wall.
This has become a recurring line.

It's a dirty free for all.
Emphasizing that anything goes.
