Lyrics
I hate to say it
The speaker reluctantly admits something.
We're complacent lately
There has been a recent sense of satisfaction or self-satisfaction.
We forgot what we've been chasing baby
They have lost sight of their original goals or desires.
Close spaces
Proximity to others is uncomfortable or confining.
I'm claustrophobic 'til I know it's safe here
The speaker feels uneasy until they are certain of safety.
I want the ugly if we're gonna face it
They desire to confront challenges, even if it's unpleasant.
I've seen you naked, never without makeup
Reference to seeing someone vulnerable, without the usual facade.
So won't you open it up
A plea for emotional openness or vulnerability.
Open it up
-Open it up
-I want to see those insecurities
Expresses a desire to witness the other person's vulnerabilities.
Show me everything
An invitation to reveal one's true self completely.
Show me your love
Reiteration of the desire to see and experience genuine love.
Show me your love
-Show me your love
-Let's take it deeper girl
A call to deepen the connection.
Don't need no one else
Asserting independence, claiming not to need others.
Won't you show yourself
Encouraging the other person to reveal their true self.
You can say that you don't fake the real you
Challenging the sincerity of presenting an authentic self.
But even in the shade to me you're see-through
Even in less revealing situations, the person seems transparent.
Close spaces
Reiteration of discomfort in close quarters.
I'd rather be afraid than play it safe, here
Expressing a preference for facing fears over playing it safe.
You're at your best before you put your face on
Highlighting authenticity before applying makeup.
I want to know the things that you can't make up
Expressing a desire to know the unfiltered aspects of the person.
So won't you open it up
Continued plea for openness and vulnerability.
Open it up
-Open it up
-I want to see those insecurities
Reiterating the desire to witness insecurities.
Show me everything
Reiteration of the call to reveal everything and show genuine love.
Show me your love
-Show me your love
-Show me your love
-Let's take it deeper girl
Encouragement to deepen the connection.
Don't need no one else
Restating independence, asserting not needing others.
Won't you show yourself
Continued encouragement for the other person to reveal themselves.
Won't you open it up
Repetition of the plea to open up emotionally.
Open it up
-Open it up
-I want to see those insecurities
Reiteration of the desire to witness insecurities.
Show me everything
Reiteration of the call to reveal everything and show genuine love.
Show me your love
-Show me your love
-Show me your love
-Let's take it deeper girl
Encouragement to deepen the connection.
Don't need no one else
Asserting independence, claiming not to need others.
Won't you show yourself
Final plea for the other person to reveal their true self.
