Take It Off
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
When they
When the dark of the night comes around
That's the time, that the animal comes alive
Looking for something wild
In my gold Trans-Am
Got a water bottle full of whiskey in my handbag
Got my drunk text on
I'll regret it in the mornin'
But tonight, I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a
There's a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off
Lose your mind, lose it now
Lose your clothes, in the crowd
We're delirious, tear it down
'Til the sun comes back around
N-now we're getting so smashed
Knocking over trash cans
Everybody breakin' bottles
It's a filthy hot mess
And I'm down to get faded
I'm not the designated driver
So I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a
There's a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
(Everybody take it off)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
(Everybody take it off)
Right now (take if off)
Right now (take if off)
Right now (take if off), oh-oh
Right now (take if off)
Right now (take if off)
Right now (take if off, everybody take it off), oh-oh
There's a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on
When they take it off
When they take it off
Everybody take it off
"Take It Off" by Ke$ha is a song that urges people to let go, have fun, and indulge in their wild side. The song romanticizes a hole-in-the-wall club downtown where freaks come out to play. The dirty free-for-all atmosphere is praised as the animal inside is awakened, and people leave their inhibitions behind. The idea of throwing caution to the wind is highlighted, and one is urged to lose their mind and clothes while becoming delirious.
The song's lyrics are uncomplicated, and the theme is pretty self-explanatory. It's a party anthem meant to encourage wild behavior, which is characteristic of Ke$ha's style. The club environment that the song is set in is portrayed as a place where people can let their wild sides loose without judgment. The lyrics urge everyone to indulge in this final hurrah of losing their inhibitions and celebrating in pure bliss.
In addition, the lyrics also hint at the impending consequences of the wild behavior. The singer admits she may regret her behavior in the morning, which is a mention of alcohol-induced fallout. The overall message is simple yet clear - life is short, so live in the moment.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a place downtown
There is a certain spot in the city center
Where the freaks all come around
Where the unconventional individuals congregate
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
It's a small and grungy establishment where anything goes
When the dark of the night comes around
When it gets late and the sun sets
That's the time, that the animal comes alive
That's when people's primal instincts take over
Looking for something wild
Seeking excitement and adventure
And now we lookin' like pimps
We are looking like fashionable and confident people
In my gold Trans-Am
Riding in my fancy car
Got a water bottle full of whiskey in my handbag
I snuck alcohol in a water bottle in my purse
Got my drunk text on
I am sending incoherent messages while intoxicated
I'll regret it in the mornin'
I know I will feel remorseful for my actions tomorrow
But tonight, I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a
However, I am enjoying myself and do not care about the consequences at the moment
And they turn me on
And they excite me
When they take it off
When they remove their clothing
Everybody take it off
Everyone should remove their clothing
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
I am aware of a spot that provides entertainment
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
Where the entertainment is intense and there is glitter on the ground
Lose your mind, lose it now
Let yourself go and be reckless
Lose your clothes, in the crowd
Remove your garments in the midst of others
We're delirious, tear it down
We are out of our minds and causing chaos
'Til the sun comes back around
Until morning comes
N-now we're getting so smashed
Now we are getting very drunk
Knocking over trash cans
We are carelessly ruining things
Everybody breakin' bottles
Everyone is breaking glass bottles
It's a filthy hot mess
It is a disgustingly chaotic situation
And I'm down to get faded
I am willing to get very drunk
I'm not the designated driver
I am not the responsible person driving tonight
So I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a
So I am not concerned about the consequences
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Repetitive vocalizations
(Everybody take it off)
(Everyone should remove their clothing)
Right now (take if off)
Immediately remove your clothing
Right now (take if off)
Immediately remove your clothing
Right now (take if off), oh-oh
Immediately remove your clothing
Right now (take if off)
Immediately remove your clothing
Right now (take if off)
Immediately remove your clothing
Right now (take if off, everybody take it off), oh-oh
Everyone should immediately remove their clothing
