Naked
Max Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wrap me in designer sheets and trace along this pain
Ask me what they used to say, that trouble was my name
I've playin' a fool, since I stepped into the game
Tell me I'm like Heaven, take the good Lord's name in vain

But when I play my cards, keep 'em close to my chest
Never fall in love, everybody loses the bet
But underneath, I just need to forget
So come and get me undressed

Boy, you can take off all my clothes and never see me naked
See me for real
If you don't know my heart, you're never gonna break it
Baby
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
I think I'm ready to be exposed
I want you watching me
When you take off all my clothes
And really see me naked
See me for real

If I let you leave the light, I'll never drop my guard
Promise that you see me for my truth and not my scars

But when I play my cards, I keep 'em close to my chest
Never fall in love, everybody loses the bet
But underneath, I just need to forget
So come and get me undressed, yeah, yeah

Boy, you can take off all my clothes and never see me naked
See me for real
If you don't know my heart, you're never gonna break it
Baby
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
I think I'm ready to be exposed
I want you watching me
When you take off all my clothes
And really see me naked
See me for real

If I keep my distance, I can't connect with you
Lay my head on your chest, and just surrender
Just surrender to, you

Boy, you can take off all my clothes and never see me naked
If you don't know my heart, you're never gonna break it
Oh, oh-oh
Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
I wanna show you my deepest secrets
I think I'm ready to be exposed
I want you watching me
When you take off all my clothes




And really see me naked
See me for real

Overall Meaning

The song "Naked" by MAX is an emotional ballad about the fear of being vulnerable in a relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's struggle to let go of his guard and share his deepest emotions with someone. He talks about playing it cool and keeping his true feelings hidden by never falling in love. However, he mentions a desire to forget about his pain and a longing to be truly seen and understood by someone.


The first verse speaks of the singer's past mistakes and the negative labels that he has carried with him. He describes wrapping himself in designer sheets, which could represent his comfort with material wealth and superficiality. The line "tell me I'm like Heaven, take the good Lord's name in vain" has a double meaning of blasphemy and desperation for affirmation. The second verse elaborates on the singer's defense mechanisms, making it clear that he has been hurt before and is afraid of being vulnerable. However, he admits that he is ready to expose himself to someone and "be seen for real."


The bridge is a more direct plea to the listener to show him the love and connection he truly needs. He acknowledges that it can be scary to connect with someone on a deep level but expresses a willingness to surrender to someone he trusts. The chorus repeats the theme that the singer wants to be fully seen and understood by a romantic partner. The line "if I let you leave the light, I'll never drop my guard" suggests that he is willing to take a risk, but only if he feels certain that he will be accepted for who he is.


Overall, "Naked" is a heartfelt exploration of the fear of intimacy and the desire for true connection. The vulnerability and raw emotion in MAX's lyrics make this song relatable to anyone who has ever struggled to let go of their guard in a romantic relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

Wrap me in designer sheets and trace along this pain
Let me immerse myself in luxury and feel every inch of the pain I carry


Ask me what they used to say, that trouble was my name
Inquire about my past and the reputation that precedes me


I've playin' a fool, since I stepped into the game
I've pretended to be someone I'm not to fit into a certain crowd


Tell me I'm like Heaven, take the good Lord's name in vain
Compliment me in a way that suggests I'm divine and holy


But when I play my cards, keep 'em close to my chest
I'm secretive with my true emotions and intentions


Never fall in love, everybody loses the bet
I avoid love as it often ends in heartache and disappointment


But underneath, I just need to forget
Despite my facade, I desperately want to escape from my pain and memories


So come and get me undressed
Entice me to remove my guard and expose my true self


Boy, you can take off all my clothes and never see me naked, See me for real
Removing my physical clothes won't reveal my true self, you must see beyond that


If you don't know my heart, you're never gonna break it, Baby
If you don't truly understand me, you can't hurt me


Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul
Ask for my permission and trust before I expose my innermost self


I wanna show you my deepest secrets
I want to share the parts of me I keep hidden from the world


I think I'm ready to be exposed
I believe I'm emotionally prepared to let my guard down


I want you watching me, When you take off all my clothes
I want you to witness my true self when I'm most vulnerable


And really see me naked, See me for real
Truly understand and accept me for who I am


If I keep my distance, I can't connect with you
If I don't let you get close to me, we can never truly form a bond


Lay my head on your chest, and just surrender, Just surrender to, you
Trust you enough to let my guard down and fall into your embrace
