Naked
Shires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never got under my skin
Always running for the door
When someone needed something more
And just enough of me
When I'm with you
I'm not afraid to show it all
I'm not hidding anymore
I let you see inside
Who I am, under this clothes
Every scar all of my flaws
When I'm with you
I'm naked
Don't cover up, turn up the lights
I wanna see, all of you tonight
And I'm holding back
I can't believe that
You're finally letting go
And I've been hurt, burn before
When I'm with you
I'm not afraid to show it all
When I'm with you
I'm not hidding anymore
I let you see inside who I am, under this clothes
Every scar all of my flaws
When I'm with you
I'm naked
I'm naked
You get the best, the worst
You've seen, all of my heart
When I'm just standing there, lay there?
Naked
I can be naked
When I'm with you
I'm not afraid to show it all
When I'm with you
I'm not hiding anymore
I let you see inside who I am, under this clothes
Every scar all of my flaws
When I'm with you
I'm naked
The song "Naked" by Shires is a powerful love ballad that discusses the importance of being vulnerable with a romantic partner. The beginning of the song talks about the singer's past experiences where she never allowed anyone to get too close or see the real her. She was always guarded and ready to run away when someone got too close. However, with this particular person, she feels comfortable enough to take off her guard and show him who she truly is.
As the song progresses, the singer tells her partner to let go of his inhibitions and show her his true self. She encourages him not to hide behind his clothes and to turn on the lights so she can fully see him. She is impressed by his ability to let go of his guard, especially since she has been burned before. The chorus of the song is inspirational, as she tells her partner how much she trusts and loves him by showing him all of her "scars and flaws." She loves him for who he is, without judgment.
The last few lyrics of the song discuss how the singer will be "naked" with her romantic partner, meaning she will open up and be vulnerable with him. She emphasizes how she can be herself around him and he sees every part of who she is.
Overall, "Naked" is a love song about vulnerability and how it is important to show your true self in a romantic relationship. It emphasizes the trust and love that must exist between two people to truly open up and fully reveal who they are.
Line by Line Meaning
Never let someone in
I never let anyone see the real me
Never got under my skin
Nobody had the ability to affect me emotionally
Always running for the door
Whenever someone got too close, I would avoid them and flee
When someone needed something more
As soon as someone showed any sign of wanting something serious, I vanished
And just enough of me
I only ever let people see the version of me that I wanted them to see
When I'm with you
Being around you changes everything
I'm not afraid to show it all
I'm not scared of revealing my true emotions and innermost thoughts
When I'm with you
Your presence makes me feel comfortable enough to be myself
I'm not hiding anymore
I'm no longer trying to keep parts of myself hidden
I let you see inside
I allow you to have a glimpse into who I really am
Who I am, under this clothes
The real me, beyond the facade I present to the world
Every scar all of my flaws
All my imperfections and scars, physical and emotional
Don't cover up, turn up the lights
Don't hide anything from me, let's bring everything into the open
I wanna see, all of you tonight
I want to get to know every single part of you
And I'm holding back
I'm trying to restrain myself and not give too much
I can't believe that
It's amazing to me that
You're finally letting go
You're opening up in a way that surprise me
And I've been hurt, burn before
I've been hurt and betrayed before, so this is difficult for me
You get the best, the worst
You get to see all facets of my personality and character
You've seen, all of my heart
You have seen my vulnerable side, my heart and emotions
When I'm just standing there, lay there?
Even when I'm not doing anything or just lying there, I am completely exposed to you
Naked
I am vulnerable and transparent
I can be naked
With you, I am able to let down my guard and be vulnerable
