Kesha’s doing not one but two hits. The pop singer-songwriter dropped the double lead singles off her new album, Gag Order, “Eat the Acid” and “Fine Line.” The former is eerie and catchy, with some bubbling synths that never quite explode. (It comes with an equally discomforting visualizer.) But it’s the latter that’s going to start some conversation.
“Fine Line” is a check-in with Kesha after the past three-plus years of her legal battle against her alleged abuser Dr. Luke, whose label she’s still forced to release music under.
“All the doctors and lawyers cut the tongue outta my mouth,” she speak-sings on the intimate track, referencing her album’s title. Almost all the lines could be quoted here, but let’s skip to the final twist of the knife: “There’s a fine line between what’s entertaining / And what’s just exploiting the pain / But, hey, look at all the money we made off me.”
While her contract remains unclear, the album could be her last for Luke’s Kemosabe Records, and will likely be her final statement before their case finally goes to trial in July.
Kesha – Eat The Acid Lyrics
You don’t want to be changed like it changed me
You don’t want to be changed like it changed me
You don’t want to be changed like it changed me
You don’t want to be changed like it changed me
Been dodging gods I didn’t want
(You don’t want to be changed like it changed me)
I’d gotten used to being lost
(You don’t want to be changed like it changed me)
I never felt like I belonged
(You don’t want to be changed like it changed me)
Turns out my mama wasn’t wrong
(You don’t want to be changed like it changed me)
You said, “Don’t ever eat the acid
If you don’t wanna to 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
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
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”
You said, “Don’t ever eat the acid
If you don’t want to 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 want to 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
You don’t want to be changed like it changed me
You don’t want to be changed like it changed me
I searched for answers all my life
Dead in the dark, I saw the light
I am the one that I’ve been fighting the whole time
Hate has no place in the divine
In the divine
In the divine
In the divine
In the divine
Place in the divine
You said, “Don’t ever eat the acid
If you don’t want to 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 want to be changed like it changed me”
Last night I saw it all
Last night I talked to God
