Take It Off
Kesha /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
In "Take It Off," Kesha sings about a place downtown where freaks come to party and let loose. The lyrics describe the scene as a dirty free-for-all, where people can be their true selves and let their animalistic desires run wild. The dark of the night is when the real fun begins, and the singer paints a picture of people taking off their clothes and letting go of their inhibitions. In the second verse, the song describes the singer's own wild night, where they're driving around in a gold Trans-Am, drinking whiskey from a water bottle and sending drunk texts. They're not concerned about the consequences of their actions and are just living in the moment.
The chorus of the song is a celebration of the freedom and wildness of the party scene. The lyrics state that everyone should take it off, lose their minds, and lose their clothes. The music and lyrics of "Take It Off" create a sense of liberation, where people can be who they really are without judgment. The song has become an anthem for those who want to let loose and have a good time.

There's a place downtown

Where the freaks all come around
The people who frequent this location are unconventional
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
The place is run-down and anything goes
When they
When the dark of the night comes around

We look confident and in control

Got a water bottle full of whiskey in my handbag

Got my drunk text on
