Naked
Rat City Kiesza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't get the satisfaction
Don't come cryin' when you relapse
We both know you will
I won't be there when you crawl back, yeah
You can rock me but I can't drown, yeah
Just keep talking but I checked out
Boy you know I'm in my own class
Sayonara, take that
Now you're gone
I'm dancing on my own
Singing to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
All gone
Dancing like a star, yeah, hey
It feels right
Breezing through the night
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
All gone
Dancing like a star
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
I ain't shaken boy your bad luck
I ain't jaded by your bent love
Heart be broken if you had one
Don't deserve me now
Boy you did it all bad, yeah
You can't break me 'cause I ain't glass
You can't hurt me 'cause I'm badass
Boy you know I'm in my own class
You ain't good enough
Sayonara, take that
Now you're gone
I'm dancing on my own
Singing to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
All gone
Dancing like a star, yeah, hey
It feels right
Breezing through the night
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
All gone
Dancing like a star
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
I'm letting time run away
Forgetting you for good
I'm right where I need to be
Oh, time is flying away
Forgetting you for good
All that I need is me, yeah, hey
It feels right
Breezing through the night
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
All gone
Dancing like a star
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
Oh, I'm letting time run away
Forgetting you for good
I'm right where I need to be
Whistle to myself
While I'm naked with my headphones on
The lyrics to Rat City’s “Naked” explore the aftermath of a failed relationship, where both partners have moved on in different ways. The first verse is directed towards the ex-partner, with the singer addressing their potential attempts to get back together, warning them that they are not interested. The lines “You won't get the satisfaction/Don't come cryin' when you relapse/We both know you will” show that the singer is aware of their partner’s previous behavior and unwilling to participate in a cycle of unhealthy relationships. The chorus then focuses on the singer’s own journey of moving on, using the image of dancing naked to express a newfound sense of freedom and confidence. The repetition of “Whistle to myself/While I'm naked with my headphones on” creates a dreamy, trance-like atmosphere that reinforces the idea of losing oneself in the music.
The second verse continues the singer’s rejection of their ex-partner, with lines like “Heart be broken if you had one” implying that the partner was emotionally disconnected from the relationship. The repeated phrase “Boy you know I’m in my own class” reinforces the singer’s confidence and independence, emphasizing that they are not willing to settle for less than they deserve. The bridge adds a more reflective tone, with the lines “I'm letting time run away/Forgetting you for good/I'm right where I need to be” emphasizing that the singer is happy with their new life without the partner.
Overall, “Naked” is a cathartic song that celebrates moving on from a toxic relationship and finding independence. The lyrics showcase a sense of empowerment and confidence, as the singer confidently asserts their right to move on and be happy.

@michlik769
I like to think of Kiesza as some kind of elegant thief. I think it both fits her character and explains why is Frank after her.
@kosac.6115
I agree with you. She can be like Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster) from movie "Maverick".
@kosac.6115
Or maybe after Frank survived his extermination and got captured by mafia again they give him a task to bring Kiesza alive to them. That would explain his reaction after she jumped.
