[Verse 1] They told me some doors stay closed for a reason Not every hunger deserves to be fed I’ve felt the pull of the things kept from reaching The quiet voice that says “go ahead”
And yes, the line can make it more tempting Yes, the distance can sharpen the need But wanting something isn’t a reason To confuse it with something you need
[Pre-Chorus] Curiosity burns But it doesn’t always heal Some things look like freedom And some things steal
[Chorus] What you taste Becomes part of who you are What you take Leaves a mark beneath the surface Not every hidden thing is truth Not every locked door is a lie Some things aren’t meant to cage you
Some things are meant to keep you alive
What you taste What you taste
[Verse 2] I’ve seen the ones who chased every secret Turn every boundary into a test But freedom without direction Becomes a different kind of unrest
Not every rule is meant to control you Not every warning comes from fear Sometimes the ones who came before you Leave a line because they’ve already been here
[Pre-Chorus] You say it’s power To break every line But power without purpose Leaves nothing behind
[Chorus] What you taste Becomes the voice you start trusting What you take Shapes the hunger you keep You say the fruit reveals something real You say it opens your eyes
But not everything gained in the dark Helps you see in the light
What you taste What you taste
[Bridge — more grounded, reflective] You call it truth because it changed you
But change Isn’t always growth
And knowing something Doesn’t mean It made you whole
There are things that don’t trap you
They warn you
[Build]
[Final Chorus — lift but not aggressive] What you taste Still lingers long after the moment What you choose Echoes deeper than the thrill You can reach for what is hidden You can take what you desire
But not everything that feels like freedom Carries you higher
What you taste What you taste
[Outro — soft] You can take the fruit
…
Just know
it stays with you
