Ava Max Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask me what they used to say, that trouble was my name
I've playin' a fool, since I stepped into the game
Tell me I'm like Heaven, take the good Lord's name in vain
But when I play my cards, keep 'em close to my chest
Never fall in love, everybody loses the bet
But underneath, I just need to forget
Boy, you can take off all my clothes and never see me naked
See me for real
If you don't know my heart, you're never gonna break it
Baby
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
I think I'm ready to be exposed
I want you watching me
When you take off all my clothes
And really see me naked
See me for real
If I let you leave the light, I'll never drop my guard
Promise that you see me for my truth and not my scars
But when I play my cards, I keep 'em close to my chest
Never fall in love, everybody loses the bet
But underneath, I just need to forget
So come and get me undressed, yeah, yeah
Boy, you can take off all my clothes and never see me naked
See me for real
If you don't know my heart, you're never gonna break it
Baby
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
I think I'm ready to be exposed
I want you watching me
When you take off all my clothes
And really see me naked
See me for real
If I keep my distance, I can't connect with you
Lay my head on your chest, and just surrender
Just surrender to, you
Boy, you can take off all my clothes and never see me naked
If you don't know my heart, you're never gonna break it
Oh, oh-oh
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
I think I'm ready to be exposed
I want you watching me
When you take off all my clothes
And really see me naked
See me for real
The first verse of "Naked" by Ava Max talks about her desire to be wrapped up in luxurious items and her pain. Even though she's been called "trouble," she hasn't let that stop her from playing the game of life. However, she is looking for someone to see her for who she is on a deeper level. She talks about keeping her cards close to her chest, not falling in love, and needing to forget what is underneath. She's asking for this person to come and undress her, both literally and metaphorically.
In the chorus, Ava Max states that she wants this person to see her fully, naked in all senses of the word. She can take off her clothes, but if they don't know her heart, they'll never be able to break it. She's looking for someone who she can bare all her emotions to, someone who she can trust with her secrets. Ava Max feels ready to become vulnerable and expose her truth, just wanting someone to see her for who she is.
The second verse picks up where the first one left off. She mentions her scars but is searching for someone who can see beyond them to the real her. She's looking for someone to surrender to and is willing to keep her distance to avoid getting hurt. The chorus is then repeated, granting the listener a deeper understanding of what Ava Max desires: to be seen for who she is on a deeper level and to be able to trust her lover with her most profound emotions.

Enrole-me em folhas de designer e trace ao longo deste quadro
Wrap me in designer sheets and trace along this frame
Pergunte-me por que eles costumavam dizer que o problema era o meu nome
Ask me why they used to say that trouble was my name
Eu tenho bancado o tolo desde que entrei no jogo
I've been playin' a fool since I stepped into the game
Diga-me que eu sou como o céu, tome o nome do bom Deus em vão
Tell me I'm like Heaven, take the good Lord's name in vain
Mas quando eu jogo minhas cartas, mantenha-as perto do meu peito
But when I play my cards, keep 'em close to my chest
Nunca se apaixone, todo mundo perde a aposta
Never fall in love, everybody loses their bet
Mas por baixo, eu só preciso esquecer
But underneath, I just need to forget
Então venha e me tire a roupa
So come and get me undressed
Bem, você pode tirar todas as minhas roupas
Well, you can take off all my clothes
E nunca me veja nua
And never see me naked
Me veja de verdade
See me for real
Se você não conhece meu coração
If you don't know my heart
Você nunca vai quebrá-lo
You're never gonna break it
Bebê
Baby
Diga-me se é seguro desnudar minha alma
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
Eu quero te mostrar meus segredos mais profundos
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
Acho que estou pronto para ser exposto
I think I'm ready to be exposed
Eu quero você me observando
I want you watching me
Quando você tira todas as minhas roupas
When you take off all my clothes
E realmente me ver nua
And really see me naked
Me veja de verdade
See me for real
Se eu deixar você deixar a luz acesa e eu baixar a guarda
If I let you leave the light on and I drop my guard
Prometa que você vai me ver pela minha verdade e não pelas minhas cicatrizes
Promise that you'll see me for my truth and not my scars
Mas quando eu jogo minhas cartas, mantenha-as perto do meu peito
But when I play my cards, keep 'em close to my chest
Nunca se apaixone, todo mundo perde a aposta
Never fall in love, everybody loses their bet
Mas por baixo, eu só preciso esquecer
But underneath, I just need to forget
Então venha e me tire a roupa (sim)
So come and get me undressed (yeah)
Bem, você pode tirar todas as minhas roupas
Well, you can take off all my clothes
E nunca me veja nua
And never see me naked
Me veja de verdade
See me for real
Se você não conhece meu coração
If you don't know my heart
Você nunca vai quebrá-lo
You're never gonna break it
Bebê
Baby
Diga-me se é seguro desnudar minha alma
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
Eu quero te mostrar meus segredos mais profundos

Eu quero você me observando
I want you watching me
Quando você tira todas as minhas roupas
When you take off all my clothes
E realmente me ver nua
And really see me naked
Me veja de verdade
See me for real
Se eu mantiver distância, não consigo me conectar com você
If I keep my distance, I can't connect with you
Deitar minha cabeça em seu peito e apenas me render
Lay my head on your chest and just surrender
Apenas se renda a você (sim)
Just surrender to you (yeah)
Bem, você pode tirar todas as minhas roupas
Well, you can take off all my clothes
E nunca me veja nua
And never see me naked
Se você não conhece meu coração
If you don't know my heart
Você nunca vai quebrá-lo, sim
You're never gonna break it, yeah
(Oh, você) Diga-me se é seguro desnudar minha alma
(Oh, you) Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
Eu quero te mostrar meus segredos mais profundos
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
Acho que estou pronto para ser exposto
I think I'm ready to be exposed
