Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crawled into the speakers and turned up the volume
Felt so sick today but cured by your noise
My head in the speakers is drowning out volumes
In ashes to ashes, I'm falling falling
In ashes to ashes, I'm losing losing
In curl and grazes, I'm feeling feeling
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
I dress up bright tonight and needing the beat
Dance into the speakers and max up the volume
Feel so high tonight and moved by my feet
My heart in the speakers is loving the volume
In pretty vacant, I'm jumping jumping
In pretty vacant, I'm moving moving
In teaches of Peaches, I'm speeding speeding
In teaches of Peaches, I'm moving moving
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
In Delia's gone I'll keep it with mine
Birdland clouds sous le soleil
Sous le soleil exactement sunshine superman
I want you ghosts in some velvet morning
Paper wings Virginia Avenue Laura
In summer's almost over I walk the line a night
Like this strange fruit
In hat full of hollow, I'm diving diving
In hat full of hollow, I'm screaming screaming
In poison voodoo, I'm living living
In poison voodoo, I'm screaming screaming
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on
The lyrics of Robots in Disguise's song "Turn It Up" describe the positive impact of music on the singer's state of mind. They wake up feeling weak but find comfort in hearing their favorite artist's voice through the singers. They feel sick, but the noise cures them. The combination of the loud sound and the lyrics drowns out the volume of the world around them. The use of metaphors to describe the effects of music is interesting. The ashes to ashes reference reveals that the singer feels like they are falling apart and cannot cope with their problems. The curls and grazes mention could represent physical scars, but the music drowns out the pain.
The second verse describes how music transforms the singer's mood when they are dancing to their favorite beats. They dress up bright to match their elevated spirits and dance the night away. There is an allusion to artists and songs that have influenced the singer's love of music, from Pretty Vacant, Delia's gone, Virginia Avenue, to Laura. The allusions create a sense of nostalgia for music lovers while showing the breadth of the singer's musical knowledge.
In summary, the "Turn It Up" lyrics convey the power of music to uplift us and help us cope with life's difficulties. Whether we are feeling weak, sick, or in need of energy, music turns up and turns us on.

I woke up weak today and needing your voice
I woke up feeling fragile and in search of your melody
Crawled into the speakers and turned up the volume
I immersed myself in your music and amplified the sound level
Felt so sick today but cured by your noise
I felt unwell, but your music healed me
My head in the speakers is drowning out volumes
My mind is lost in your music and blocking out everything else
In ashes to ashes, I'm falling falling
I'm descending into destruction and ruin
In ashes to ashes, I'm losing losing
I'm losing everything as I fall apart
In curl and grazes, I'm feeling feeling
I'm experiencing strong emotions and sensations
In curl and grazes, I'm losing losing
As I feel intensely, I'm also losing control
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Increase the volume, amplify the sound
Turn me on
Excite me, make me feel alive
I dress up bright tonight and needing the beat
I'm dressed up in vivid colors tonight, and I crave the rhythm
Dance into the speakers and max up the volume
I'm dancing towards the artists, turning the volume up to the maximum
Feel so high tonight and moved by my feet
I'm ecstatic tonight, and my feet are moving on their own
My heart in the speakers is loving the volume
My heart is beating in tune to the music, and it appreciates the volume
In pretty vacant, I'm jumping jumping
In a state of emptiness, I'm jumping around restlessly
In pretty vacant, I'm moving moving
In this void, I'm making movements to fill the gap
In teaches of Peaches, I'm speeding speeding
Under the influence of Peaches, I'm moving faster and faster
In teaches of Peaches, I'm moving moving
Following the guidance of Peaches, I'm in motion
In Delia's gone I'll keep it with mine
Even though Delia has left, I'll always cherish the music she left behind
Birdland clouds sous le soleil
Clouds loom over Birdland under the sun
Sous le soleil exactement sunshine superman
Under the sun exactly like Sunshine Superman
I want you ghosts in some velvet morning
I desire the ghosts of some past sensations, like those of Velvet Morning
Paper wings Virginia Avenue Laura
Paper wings flying over the streets of Virginia Avenue with Laura
In summer's almost over I walk the line a night
As summer draws to a close, I walk the tightrope alone at night
Like this strange fruit
Like the fruit that is different from the rest
In hat full of hollow, I'm diving diving
In a hat full of emptiness, I'm diving deep
In hat full of hollow, I'm screaming screaming
In a hat full of nothing, I'm letting out a scream of desperation
In poison voodoo, I'm living living
In the grip of a toxic voodoo, I'm trying to survive
In poison voodoo, I'm screaming screaming
Trapped in the curse of voodoo, I'm crying for help
