Naked
9ELECTRIC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have once again exposed
Things that no one should ever know
I have let you see me weak
Nothing left to mystery
This is not the way that I should ever be seen
This is not the way I learned to live my life
But there's a party in my head so I take it all in stride
Let's get naked
Let it down
Show what you got
Yeah the time is now
REPEAT CHORUS
I have once again exposed
Things that I want you to know
Deep inside I keep them safe
But with a little help I'm feeling brave
This is not the way that I should need to be
But this is what I really want, to be unclean
This is not the way I learned to live my life
But there's a party in my head so I let go of my pride
REPEAT CHORUS
Let's get naked
Let's get naked
And show it all
Let's get naked
Come on let's get naked
Just show it all
Expose it all
Let it down
Show what you got
Yeah the time is now
REPEAT CHORUS
Let's get naked
Let's get naked
And show it all
Let's get naked
Come on let's get naked
Just show it all
Let's get naked
The lyrics of "Naked" by 9ELECTRIC narrate the act of exposing one's true self to another individual regardless of the circumstances. The singer admits to revealing vulnerable aspects of themselves that should not have been exposed, yet they have allowed their guard to be down to the point that there is nothing left to mystery. They acknowledge that this is not a trait that they wished to show, but there is a sensation within them that they find hard to resist. The singer experiences a liberation that comes with the release of inhibitions, a feeling akin to a party in their head, which they accept with pride.
The chorus of "Let's get naked" is reminiscent of the phrase 'stripping down one's emotional barriers' or being truly authentic. The singer deems this to be the appropriate moment to let their guard down, and there is a sense of pressing urgency in the lyrics. They encourage the other individual to follow suit and show what they're made of.
The second verse emphasizes the freedom that comes with exposing oneself emotionally, a breakaway from a life lived hiding so much of themselves. The singer suggests that this is what they truly want, even though it goes against everything they've learned in life. The phrase 'letting go of my pride' implies that being exposed takes immense courage and strength, a concept that the singer is willing to embrace.
