Naked
Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hesitate
Between love and hate
I know you've been feeding
My infatuation
I can see
You and me
Doing things we shouldn't be
My imagination
I can feel your eyes
All over my body
I can read the signs
They're sexual
I can read your mind
I can see you want me
Something in your eyes is sensual
You make me feel naked
Undressing me with your eyes
You make me feel naked
Ohhh, hypnotised
(Oooooh hypnotised)
I feel naked baby
In between
You and me
There is
Sensuality
I can feel your eyes
I can feel the tension
Hurling me
To the ground
Turning me
Upside down
I can lose myself
Without redemption
I can feel your eyes
All over my body
I can read the signs
They're sexual
I can read your mind
I can see you want me
Something in your eyes is senusal
You make me feel naked
Undressing me with your eyes
You make me feel naked
Ohhh, hypnotised
(Oooooh hypnotised)
Naked
Mmmmmm hmmmm hmmm hmm yeah
Naked
Ohhhh huh huh huh huh
Naked
So naked
(Oooooh hypnotised)
I feel your lips
Your fingerips
Get inside
Play with my mind
I feel myself
Begin to melt
Don't look at me
Don't stop
I can feel your eyes
All over my body
I can read the signs
They're sexual
I can read you mind
I can see you want me
Something in your eyes is sensual
You make me feel naked
Undressing me with your eyes
You make me feel naked
Ohhh, hypnotised
(Oooooh hypnotised)
Naked
Naked
Oooooooh ooh
Hypnotised
The lyrics of Louise's song "Naked" express the feeling of being exposed and vulnerable in front of someone who has the power to seduce and manipulate. The singer is lying awake, hesitating between love and hate, while aware that the person she's attracted to is feeding her infatuation for their own benefit. The dynamic between them is loaded with sensuality and tension, as they're tempted to cross boundaries and engage in illicit activities, despite the singer's struggle to stop her imagination from running wild. Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges the other person's gaze on her body, their desire for her, and the way they make her feel naked and hypnotized, losing herself in their touch and presence.
The metaphor of nakedness is central to the song, representing both the physical exposure of being stripped down to one's bare skin and the emotional vulnerability of being laid bare in front of someone who can see and manipulate one's desires, fears, and weaknesses. The singer is both fascinated and frightened by the power that the other person holds over her, and the song suggests that she may be willing to surrender herself to them despite the risks and consequences.
Overall, "Naked" is a sultry and introspective expression of the complex dynamics of desire and power that can arise between two people who are attracted to each other but also aware of the dangers and ethical dilemmas involved.
