Red Hot
Mötley Crüe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fight for the black shark
See what evil brings
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Love from a shotgun
License to kill
Can't you see we're out for blood?

The kids scream in fright through the night
Loving every bite with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth

Red Hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot, shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood?

The kids scream in fright through the night
Loving every bite with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth

Red Hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot, shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood?

Red Hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot, shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood?
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood?

The act of "loving every bite with delight" portrays their hunger for danger and risk-taking. Together, they stand for the youth and their freedom to do as they please.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Red Hot," reinforcing the intensity and passion of the group. They are determined to reach the top and be the best, "shouting at the devil" and laughing at the wars and conformity of their elders. The phrase "always ask for more" suggests their insatiable thirst for adventure and excitement, refusing to settle for anything less.


Overall, "Red Hot" is a celebration of youth and rebellion, encouraging people to live boldly and fearlessly. It embodies the spirit of the 80s glam metal scene, with its explosive energy and larger-than-life persona.
