Take It Off
Kesha 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
The song "Take It Off" by Kesha is all about letting loose and having fun with the freaks and wild ones in a particular downtown area. The "place downtown" she sings about is described as "a hole in the wall, a dirty free for all", which paints a picture of an off-the-grid and seedy location. The lyrics express a desire to go wild and get drunk with friends, where Kesha says they'll be "looking like pimps in my gold Trans-Am". The song is about being carefree, reckless and having a good time. It's an anthem about losing yourself in the moment, being wild and free without any judgment from others.
Kesha's description of her surroundings, including "glitter on the floor" and "hardcore" sets the scene for a party atmosphere. The phrase "take it off" is repeated throughout the song, a call to arms to strip away inhibitions and forget about the mundane world. Kesha describes being a "filthy hot mess" and how the feeling is liberating. The entire song is an invitation for everyone to take off their clothes and let themselves become vulnerable, both figuratively and literally. It's a song about enjoying the moment and losing oneself in the party.

When they remove their clothing.
Everybody take it off
Everyone should remove their clothing.
