Paid in Full
Hot Water Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out for blood,
By any means necessary
Messing up, cause there ain't no choice
For any other way since
You got nowhere to go
You got nowhere to go
You burned up all you loved
You're burning up all you saved

Feed the fire to rid the head of wreck from desire
Paid in full and left for darker floods

Out for blood,
By any means necessary
You'd trade your trust if
It meant that you would always get your way
All to sell your soul
All to sell your soul
You burned up all you loved
You're burning up all you saved

Feed the fire to rid the head of wreck from desire
Paid in full, bred in darkness for fire to rid the head
Of wreck from desire paid in full and left for darker floods

You let it all slip away,
Burned up all that saved
To rid the wreckage inside the brain
There's no care anymore
The judging hour's come
To put us all in place and
Trade that fire to gratify
A penance paid in full

Feed the fire to rid the head of wreck from desire




Paid in full, bred in darkness for fire to rid the head
A wreck from desire paid in full and left for darker floods

Overall Meaning

The song "Paid in Full" by Hot Water Music explores the idea of desperation and the lengths one may go to in order to survive. The chorus, "Out for blood, by any means necessary," sets the tone for the song as the lyrics delve into the consequences of reckless behavior. The lines "You burned up all you loved, you're burning up all you saved" convey a feeling of hopelessness and despair. The repetition of "you got nowhere to go" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in a situation with no escape. The phrase "to sell your soul" suggests that one may have to sacrifice their morals or values in order to survive.


The second verse continues this narrative of desperation with the lyrics, "You'd trade your trust if it meant that you would always get your way." This line speaks to the idea that when push comes to shove, survival instinct takes over and any means necessary will be used to achieve a goal. The repetition of "all to sell your soul" in this verse reinforces the idea that morals and values may need to be compromised in order to survive.


In the bridge, the lyrics shift to a more introspective tone as the singer reflects on the repercussions of their actions. The line "you let it all slip away, burned up all that saved" suggests that the reckless behavior of the singer has resulted in them losing everything they once had. The phrase "to put us all in place" suggests that this is not just a personal struggle but a societal one as well.
