Lyrics
"You’re never free to let it go
You feel restricted, unable to release your true self.
And fully give into your soul
You haven't fully embraced and expressed your innermost self.
You hide the kinks to fit the mould
You conceal your imperfections to conform to societal expectations.
But something inside is wanting more
Despite conforming, there's a desire within for something more authentic.
Maybe it would be okay
Suggests acceptance if others ignore your true self.
If they just looked the other way
Implies a willingness to be genuine when not under scrutiny.
While you put your real self on display
Encourages displaying your authentic self openly.
I bet they’d love to know you like that
Belief that others would appreciate and connect with the real you.
Baby get up, get out and work it like that
Advocates for actively expressing and showcasing your true self.
Make a jump into unknown
Encouragement to take risks and venture into the unknown.
Feel the fear and let it go
Embrace fear and let go of inhibitions.
Now you’ve crossed the line, you’re putting on a show
Suggests crossing a boundary and engaging in a public display.
Nothing’s left to hide, so let it flow
Once revealed, there's nothing left to hide; be open and genuine.
Maybe it would be okay
Reiteration of acceptance if others choose to ignore.
If they just looked the other way
Reinforces the idea of being true to oneself when not observed.
While you put your real self on display
Repeat of the encouragement to openly display your real self.
I bet they’d love to know you like that
Reaffirms the belief that others would appreciate the authentic you.
Baby get up, get out and work it like that
Repetition of the call to actively express and showcase your true self.
Will they put you down?
Raising questions about potential negative reactions to your authenticity.
Or will they gather round?
Posing the possibility of receiving positive attention and acceptance.
And give you all the love
The anticipation of receiving love that was previously elusive.
That you hadn’t found
Suggesting a positive outcome, finding the love that was lacking.
Maybe it would be okay
Reiteration of acceptance if others choose to look away.
If they just looked the other way
Reinforces the idea of being true to oneself when not observed.
While you put your real self on display
Repeat of the encouragement to openly display your real self.
I bet they’d love to know you like that
Reaffirms the belief that others would appreciate the authentic you.
Baby get up, get out and work it like that"
Final call to action, actively express and showcase your true self.
