Acid
Unfun Lyrics

The lyrics to Unfun's "Acid" is a portrayal of a person who is struggling to connect with their partner due to their own internal struggles. The first two lines, "I'm afraid to hold you tight tonight / All the air that fills your lungs is acid," paints a vivid picture of the singer's fear and apprehension towards holding their partner, as if their partner's breath is toxic. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's mental state, which is causing them to distance themselves from their loved one. The next line, "Grab a cigarette and watch it burn with you," suggests a shared addiction or coping mechanism between the two, and indicates that they may be engaging in some self-destructive behavior together.

The next lines, "Take some time to make amends with your crooked self / Just take some time to fuck away the pain inside your head," reveal that the singer is struggling with self-doubt and perhaps even self-hatred. They are urging themselves to confront and accept their flaws, and to find temporary relief from their pain through physical intimacy. The line, "You can't say that I told you so," shows that the singer is aware of their self-destructive tendencies and does not need someone to point it out to them. However, they are also aware that their behavior is not healthy and they are struggling to break out of it.

The final line, "Don't think so much of you," can be interpreted as the singer's attempt to detach themselves from their own negative thoughts and self-doubt. It is a reminder to not become too consumed by their own struggles and to try to focus on something outside of themselves.
