Opiate Lyrics – Kid Cudi | from “FREE”

August 21, 2025

Jump to:

Step into the introspective world of Opiate, a soul-stirring track from Kid Cudi’s eleventh studio album FREE, set to release on August 22, 2025, under Wicked Awesome and Republic Records. As part of Cudi’s pop-driven evolution, this unreleased gem, teased in a studio snippet, channels the raw vulnerability of Pursuit of Happiness from Man on the Moon and the emotional depth of Reborn from Kids See Ghosts.

Produced by Cudi alongside Justin Tranter, Shawn Wasabi, and Russ Chell, Opiate likely delves into themes of addiction and healing, reflecting Cudi’s personal battles, as detailed in his memoir Cudi. Positioned as track four in FREE’s 13-song lineup, it bridges the album’s singles like Neverland and Grave, offering a poignant pause in Cudi’s journey toward joy. This track hits like a late-night confession—pure Cudi soul! Sink into Opiate lyrics below, and feel the heartbeat of Kid Cudi’s redemptive arc.

Lyrics of Opiate by Kid Cudi

[Verse 1]
That’s The Side Of Me You Wanted, Hmm
That’s The Side Of Me You Love, Hmm
Running ’round Like Kids In Summer, Hmm
We Should Take The Time To Go Back To

[Pre-Chorus]
Tenderness Entering
Just A Kiss, Damn It, It’s The Beginning
To Mean Something
Caught The Flame

[Chorus]
Reverse Down The Sidewalk
Tell The City Turn The Brights Off
I’ma Be Honest
Baby, Be Honest Too
Is This What You Wanted?
Is This What You Wanna Do?
Reverse Down The Sidewalk
Tell The City Turn The Brights Off

[Verse 2]
You Know What You Signed Up For, Hmm
Still In Love With All My Flaws, Mm-hmm-hmm
We’ve Been Going Back And Forth, Hmm
We Should Take The Time To Go Back To

[Pre-Chorus]
Tenderness Entering
Just A Kiss, Damn It, It’s The Beginning
To Mean Something
Caught The Flame
