Naked
Trews The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You bared your sould I waltzed right in
You gave me everything
And I just made you feel so very
Naked and you don't remember
How you let yourself become so unraveled
You spilled your guts on my best shoes
It's only love that makes you feel like I'm getting
So completely
Naked and you don't remember
How you let yourself become so unraveled
Your naked pretty as a heartache
Waiting for your second skin to settle in
My hardened heart can't hide me now
It loves as much as I allow
And in the end the eyeball army will just drag me down
And I'll be
Naked
Nothing but a heartache
And I know there's nothing that can hide me now
I'm naked
Nothing but a heartache
Going out exactly how
You came in
In "Naked," Trews The paints a picture of two individuals who are vulnerable and open with one another. The first verse describes how the person's stubborn skin is wearing thin and they let their guard down for the other person to come in. The second verse continues with the idea that the person spills their guts to the other, whereas the other person keeps it in. The chorus repeats the title 'Naked' and speaks of how the other person becomes unraveled or exposed by their openness.
The bridge brings in the idea of a hardened heart that cannot hide and must love as much as it allows. It mentions the 'eyeball army' that will drag them down, perhaps referring to those who judge them or their relationship. The final chorus echoes the sentiment of being exposed, nothing but a heartache, and going out exactly how they came in.
Overall, "Naked" speaks to the rawness of opening oneself up to another person and how it leaves one exposed.

Your stubborn skin is wearing thin
Your tough exterior is becoming fragile and vulnerable
You bared your soul I waltzed right in
You opened up to me and I took advantage of your vulnerability
You gave me everything
You gave me all you had to offer
And I just made you feel so very Naked
I made you feel completely exposed and vulnerable
and you don't remember
You have forgotten
How you let yourself become so unraveled
How you allowed yourself to become emotionally unstable
You spilled your guts on my best shoes
You shared your deepest secrets and feelings with me
I keep it in, you let it loose
I held back my emotions, while you were completely open
It's only love that makes you feel like I'm getting
Love is the only thing that makes you feel completely vulnerable around me
So completely Naked
So completely exposed and vulnerable
Your naked pretty as a heartache
Your vulnerability is raw and painful
Waiting for your second skin to settle in
Waiting for a new, tough exterior to form after being vulnerable
My hardened heart can't hide me now
My emotional walls can no longer protect me
It loves as much as I allow
My heart can only love to the extent that I let it
And in the end the eyeball army will just drag me down
In the end, societal pressure and judgment will weigh me down
And I'll be Naked
And I will be completely exposed
Nothing but a heartache
I will feel nothing but emotional pain
And I know there's nothing that can hide me now
And I know there is no way to protect myself anymore
I'm Naked
I am completely exposed
Going out exactly how
Exiting life in the same state as entering it
You came in
When you came into this world
