Strip
Clara Mae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for the same old feeling
Like it was yesterday
I'm all dressed in grey
And your mind is dreaming
Thinking I would lose my face
You put on your cover pretending it's showtime
But I know what's under, remember you been mine
And take off your clothes, strip, strip
Loosen up the blindfold
Why don't you strip, strip, strip?
Let them fall to the floor, strip, strip
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body, let your body
Let your body strip, strip
Funny how it goes
You were always truthful
Now I don't know where to start
You can laugh it off
Telling me I'm delusional
But I can see through it all
You put on your cover pretending it's showtime
But I know what's under, remember you been mine
Why don't you strip, strip, strip?
And take off your clothes, strip, strip
Loosen up the blindfold
Why don't you strip, strip, strip?
Let them fall to the floor, strip, strip
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body, let your body
Let your body strip, strip
Let your body, take off your clothes, strip, strip
Let your body
It's the same old view
But a different you
And the way you talk
The way you walk
Now you dressed in lace
I'm not a butterfly
And I know what's under
Remember you been mine
Why don't you strip, strip, strip?
And take off your clothes, strip, strip
Loosen up the blindfold
Why don't you strip, strip, strip?
And take off your clothes, strip, strip
Loosen up the blindfold
Why don't you strip, strip, strip?
Let them fall to the floor, strip, strip
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body tell the truth
Let your body, let your body
Let your body strip, strip
Let your body, take off your clothes, strip, strip
Let your body
The lyrics of Clara Mae's "Strip" describe a relationship in which one person is struggling to connect with the other, who is hiding behind a metaphorical "cover". The singer of the song seems to be asking their partner to strip away the pretenses and reveal their true self, allowing their body to tell the truth about their feelings and desires. The song contains a powerful message about vulnerability and the importance of being honest with oneself and others.
The first verse suggests that the two people have a history together and are looking for a familiar feeling. However, the singer is dressed in grey, which suggests a lack of emotion or enthusiasm. The other person is dreaming, possibly about a past version of the singer, and assumes that the singer will lose face if they reveal their true self. The chorus repeats the command to strip and let the body tell the truth, emphasizing the importance of being honest and intimate with one's partner.
The second verse suggests that the other person has changed since the relationship began, becoming less truthful and more defensive. The singer can "see through it all" and recognizes that the other person is hiding behind a "cover". Nevertheless, they continue to urge the other person to strip away their defenses and reveal their true self. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the urgency of this request and the need for the other person to be honest and intimate.

I see you look my way
I notice that you're looking at me
Looking for the same old feeling
You want to feel the same way you felt before
Like it was yesterday
You miss the past and want to relive it
I'm all dressed in grey
I'm feeling dull and uninspired
And your mind is dreaming
You're lost in your own thoughts
Thinking I would lose my face
You thought I would be embarrassed or ashamed
You put on your cover pretending it's showtime
You're hiding your true self
But I know what's under, remember you been mine
I know the real you, because we used to be together
Why don't you strip, strip, strip?
Why don't you reveal your true self?
And take off your clothes, strip, strip
Let go of your defenses and show me who you really are
Loosen up the blindfold
Stop hiding from me and facing the truth
Let them fall to the floor, strip, strip
Let go of the things that are holding you back
Let your body tell the truth
Don't hide your emotions or feelings
Funny how it goes
It's ironic how things turned out
You were always truthful
You used to be honest with me
Now I don't know where to start
I'm not sure what to believe anymore
You can laugh it off
You're pretending that everything is okay
Telling me I'm delusional
You're dismissing my concerns
But I can see through it all
I can see the truth, even if you can't
It's the same old view
Things haven't changed much
But a different you
You're not the same person you used to be
And the way you talk
Your manner of speaking has changed
The way you walk
Your way of moving has changed
Now you dressed in lace
You're trying to be someone you're not
I'm not a butterfly
I'm not easily fooled
And I know what's under
I know who you really are
Let your body
Show me your true self

This song's perfection, sending love from Brazil ♥

Great tune, strong vocals and I love that tingling stripped back piano. I presume the Strip reference is more about being honest or true rather than actually stripping? Love how Clara Mae is popping up everywhere, with collaborations too!
