All In
Primal Instinct Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Reapers fist I've got to beat
The King has forced me to retreat
Nowhere to turn and nowhere to hide
Jack's on my trail, please spare my life

I've got a shovel to dig myself a grave
But hail the queen I hope to be saved
A three-leafed clover turns the game
Shuffle the deck

Turn the card or cash the check
Lose it all, but what the heck
All in
All in
Born to lose, live to win
All in
All in
Born to lose, live to win

My house is full, come on let's dance
The three of you don't stand a chance
Raised all stakes, if you dare I swear
You are not getting out of here

So call the cards bet in and humor me
Bet it all, come on, be a man
Don't cash out now, one last chance
Shuffle the deck

Turn the card or cash the check
Losing all, but what the heck
All in
All in
Born to lose, live to win
All in
All in
Born to lose, live to win

(All in, all in)
(All in, all in)
(All in, all in)
(All in, all in)
Shuffle the deck

Turn the card or cash the check
Losing all, but what the heck
All in
All in
Born to lose, live to win
All in
All in




Born to lose
Live to win

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Primal Instinct’s “All In” tell the story of a man who is deeply in debt with a dangerous crowd. He is forced to take his chances and gamble it all in a last-ditch attempt to save himself. The man’s two options are to either turn the card and hope luck is on his side, or to cash out and lose everything he has left. Despite being born to lose, he hopes to live to win. The imagery of the shovel and the three-leafed clover add an ominous tone to the song, foreshadowing a potentially fatal outcome. The lyrics are repetitive, emphasizing the desperation and urgency of the situation.


The thematic center of this song revolves around the complex emotions of desperation and hopelessness intertwined with hope for a better future. The lyrics depict a person who has lost everything and is about to gamble his last chance hoping for a greater return. However, the song urges the listener to never think of gambling or taking risks as a means of salvation during unfavorable situations. It’s the dark side of hope which leads to addictions and cognitive biases, and should be avoided as much as possible.
