Eat The Acid Lyrics

[Intro]
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me


[Verse 1]
Been dodgin' gods I didn't want
(You don't wanna be changed like it changed me)
I'd gotten used to bein' lost
(You don't wanna be changed like it changed me)
I never felt like I belonged
(You don't wanna be changed like it changеd me)
Turns out my mama wasn't wrong
(You don't wanna be changed likе it changed me)

[Chorus]
You said, "Don't ever eat the acid if
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me"
You said, "All the edges got so jagged now
Everything you saw then can't be unseen"
Last night, I saw it all
Last night, I talked to God


[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
[Verse 2]
I swear to God I closed my eyes
I heard a voice inside my mind
The universe said, "Now's your time"
And told me everything's alright

[Chorus]
You said, "Don't ever eat the acid if
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me"

You said, "All the edges got so jagged now
Everything you saw then can't be unseen"
You said, "Don't ever eat the acid if
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me"
You said, "All the edges got so jagged now
Everything you saw then can't be unseen"
Last night, I saw it all
Last night, I talked to God

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me

[Verse 3]
I searched for answers all my life
Dead in the dark, I saw a light
I am the one that I've been fighting the whole time
Hate has no place in the divine

[Bridge]
In the divine
In the divine
In the divine
In the divine
Place in the divine

[Chorus]
You said, "Don't ever eat the acid if
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me"
You said, "All the edges got so jagged now
Everything you saw then can't be unseen"
You said that the universe is magic
Just open up your eyes, the signs are waiting
You said, "Don't ever eat the acid if
You don't wanna be changed like it changed me"
Last night, I saw it all
Last night, I talked to God

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me
(Ah, ah) You don't wanna be changed like it changed me

‘Eat the Acid’ is the lead single alongside ‘Fine Line’ for American singer and songwriter Kesha’s upcoming fifth studio album ‘Gag Order’. It was released April 28th, 2023.

Eat the Acid, a spiritual dark-Americana-scented bass-based ballad, was written the day after Kesha had a spiritual awakening mid COVID-19 isolation. The song was the first she wrote for her upcoming fifth studio album. It was first teased on an Instagram live stream that took place on March 8th, 2023. ‘'Eat the Acid’‘ is heavily influenced by Kesha’s gurus, the filmmaker David Lynch and the music producer Rick Rubin, who signed the executive production of the album. The title takes inspiration from advice Pebe Sebert, Kesha’s mother, gave her from a young age to not to take LSD.
