They debuted with the controversial new beat single "I Sit on Acid" in 1988. Created by Jade 4U, Praga Khan and Olivier Adams; their debut album, 1991's Lust (along with additional singles "Rough Sex" and "I Must Increase My Bust"), were critically acclaimed within the electronic music and dance music communities for their outrageously sexual lyrics and sound samples. Their second album was Voodoo-U, which featured a more industrial sound. This was followed by Our Little Secret (1997), Heaven Is an Orgasm (1998) and Expand Your Head (1999). In 2000 they released a more rock-influenced album entitled Farstucker and in 2003, after being in the business for fifteen years, released a greatest hits album called Greatest T*ts.

Their fans formed an online community called the Children of Acid.

In 2010 after being silent for almost ten years, Praga Khan announced a new EP, Little Mighty Rabbit, was in the works with a September 2011 release date.[1] Their latest album Deep Chills was released on 10 April 2012. Tracks on the album included "Children of Acid", "Paranormal Energy" with Zak Bagans, and "Pop That Tooshie" with Alana Evans.

In October 2013, Lords of Acid announced on their social media accounts that a new album was in the works.

Lords of Acid's soundtrack credits include Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Sliver, Strange Days, Bad Lieutenant, Paparazzi, and Virtuosity.

The Mirror
Lords of Acid Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A perfect stranger is staring at me
Don't tell me I'm wrong I know this ain't real
I'm going insane, 'cause I can see what I feel
I try to avoid it, I'm blocking my eyes
But I feel these vibrations and it's feeling so nice
The warmth of his body, the heat of the flesh
I'm fighting against it while I strip off my dress

I want you inside of me (x2)
I can visualise what you're feeling inside
As I'm touching your spine, I can make you unwind
Feel the glow from my hands, it's the heat that I send
With the oil that I blend, let's go straight, let's go to the end
Come through the mirror I want you to rock me
I'll give you the power, the will to be horny
I need you to fill me with your glistening treasures
My body is moist and it's a palace of pleasure
Lay down beside me, then torture and please me
Let's have a party all over my body
Let's come together like the pearl in the oyster
You can whip me and bite me cause that's how I want ya
I want you inside of me (x2)
(x2)
I'm your teacher tonight, witches' power delight
There's no use for your fight, let me strengthen your might

Oh now come over here, 'cause your climax is near
There's no use for your fear 'cause your master, your master is here

As she tries to fight against the overwhelming desire, she strips off her dress and surrenders to the pleasure.

The sexual imagery in the song is explicit and intense. The singer describes the heat of the flesh and the warmth of the body, as well as the desire to be filled with "glistening treasures." The singer welcomes pain and torture, inviting her partner to "whip me and bite me cause that's how I want ya." Through it all, the singer sees herself as a powerful figure, a "teacher" who can "strengthen your might." The song is an expression of the raw power of sexual desire and the ways in which it can consume and transform a person.
