Blow
Kesha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back door cracked, we don't need a key
We get in for free, no V.I.P. sleaze,
Drink that Kool-Aid follow my lead,
Now you're one of us, you're coming with me
It's time to kill the lights and shut the DJ down
Tonight we're taking over, no one's getting out
[X4:]
This place's about to blow-oh-oh-oh!
Blow-oh-oh-oh
(This place about to)
Now what? What? We're taking control
We get what we want
We do what you don't
Dirt and glitter cover the floor
We're pretty and sick
We're young and we're bored
It's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out
(This place about to)
Tonight we're taking names 'cause we don't mess around
[X4:]
This place about to blow-oh-oh-oh!
Blow-oh-oh-oh
Go, go, go, go insane, go insane
Throw some glitter, make it rain on 'em
Let me see them hands, let me, let me see them hands
Go insane, go insane
Throw some glitter, make it rain on 'em
Let me see them hands, let me, let me see them hands
We are taking over...
Get used to it ok...
[X4:]
Oh, this place about to blow-oh-oh-oh!
Blow-oh-oh-oh
This place about to blow...
Kesha's song "Blow" is an upbeat and energetic dance number that contains a lot of interesting lyrics. It starts with the phrase "Back door cracked, we don't need a key, We get in for free, no V.I.P sleaze". These lines suggest that the singer is looking for ways to get into a party or club without having to pay the entry fee or go through the VIP channel. They follow this up by encouraging their audience to "Drink that Kool-Aid, follow my lead, Now you're one of us, you're coming with me." This is a nod to the Jonestown massacre where people were forced to drink Kool-Aid laced with cyanide, but in the song, it is used as a metaphor to draw the audience in and create a sense of unity.
The phrase "It's time to kill the lights and shut the DJ down" suggests that the singer is trying to take control of the party and make it their own. They encourage their audience to let loose and have fun, saying "We're pretty and sick, We're young and we're bored, It's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out." The phrase "Tonight we're taking names 'cause we don't mess around" implies a sense of dominance and power over the party.
The chorus, "This place's about to blow-oh-oh-oh! Blow-oh-oh-oh!" is repeated throughout the song to create a catchy and memorable hook. The phrase "Throw some glitter, make it rain on 'em" is used as encouragement for the audience to have fun and celebrate. By the end of the song, the singer has asserted their dominance over the party and claimed it as their own.
