Lock N' Load
Waterview Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If all you're cards are on the table, What's that up you're sleeve,
God! I hope you planned this well.
And now you're lighting fuses, hoping to save face,
God! You know this shit won't sell.

If this is what you worked for, Then honey you fell short.

You'll get half of what you wanted and twice what you deserve,
When all your plans are up in flames with every bridge that you have burned,
And our worse case scenario is a lesson you will learn,
When you get half of what you wanted, And twice what you deserve!

Lock and load boys check the batteries, What's that up your sleeve,
God! This scene is painted hell.
Is this warm conversation hoping to save face,
God! But only time will tell.

If this is what you worked for, Then honey you fell short.

You'll get half of what you wanted and twice what you deserve,
When all your plans are up in flames with every bridge that you have burned,
And our worse case scenario is a lesson you will learn,
When you get half of what you wanted, And twice what you deserve!

If this is what you worked for, Then honey you fell short.

You'll get half of what you wanted and twice what you deserve,
When all your plans are up in flames with every bridge that you have burned,
And our worse case scenario is a lesson you will learn,
When you get half of what you wanted, And twice what you deserve!

Twice what you deserve!
Twice what you deserve!




Twice what you deserve!
Twice what you deserve!

Overall Meaning

The song "Lock N' Load" by Waterview is a cautionary tale about the consequences of burning bridges and trying to save face despite a failed plan. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as the singer questions what the other person has up their sleeve, as they light fuses and hope to salvage a situation that has already gone awry. Despite their attempts, the singer knows that this "shit won't sell" and that the other person has fallen short in their efforts.


The chorus repeats the message that the other person will only receive half of what they wanted and twice what they deserve as a result of their actions. This is emphasized through the metaphor of burning bridges, both figuratively and literally. The worst-case scenario is presented as a lesson the other person will learn when they only receive half of their desired outcome and twice the consequences.


The final lines of the song drive home the message with repetition of the phrase "twice what you deserve." The song is a warning to be careful with actions and words, as they can have lasting consequences. It's a reminder that honesty and sincerity are often the best course of action, even when faced with difficult situations.


Line by Line Meaning

If all your cards are on the table, What's that up your sleeve, God! I hope you planned this well.
If you've revealed all your tactics and strategies, then what do you still have hidden? The hope is that you have thought through everything carefully.


And now you're lighting fuses, hoping to save face, God! You know this shit won't sell.
You're trying to create an exit strategy that would keep you from taking full responsibility for whatever is going down. But the reality is that it's too late for that.


If this is what you worked for, Then honey you fell short.
If this is what you wanted and planned all along, then you've failed.


You'll get half of what you wanted and twice what you deserve, When all your plans are up in flames with every bridge that you have burned, And our worse case scenario is a lesson you will learn, When you get half of what you wanted, And twice what you deserve!
You'll end up with less than you expected but more than you deserve, and that's because your actions have brought consequences that cannot be undone. You'll learn a hard lesson, and it will be twice as painful as what you thought you deserved.


Lock and load boys check the batteries, What's that up your sleeve, God! This scene is painted hell.
Prepare yourselves for the worst, and be sure that everything is working as it should. The situation is dire, and it seems like everything is falling apart.


Is this warm conversation hoping to save face, God! But only time will tell.
You're trying to smooth things over and make it seem like everything is okay, but only time will reveal if that's really the case.


Twice what you deserve!
The consequences of your actions will be harsher than what you think you deserve.

AMAZING!!! This video just kept me from throwing this in a box under the bench. I use a lot of H335 powder and I have been fighting this dispenser for over a year. A full grain overcharge on every charge. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS as now I can easily set it to slow down much sooner and it stops dead on my target weight.

I own this powder measure since one year now and I still love it. Accurate and fast enough.

Fantastic product, hands down the best value in powder dispensers. The only thing that top their products is their no BS warranty. For all the nay sayers its all in the customizable programming of the speed of throw and tricking. After watching this video it takes five minutes tom set up and dial in. Don't complain and blame the product if you do not posses the aptitude to run the device!

RCBS unit is much better. Glad I spent the extra few bucks.

I was excited to purchase this product about 6 months ago but as the video shows, it constantly overcharges. Even using all the techniques in this video more than half the time with stick or flake powder it consistently overcharges up to a half grain or so. It's become more trouble than it's worth for me and I find myself just using the dippers and weighing the charges manually for my smaller runs which is about the same speed as using this thing. Not to mention no cleanup afterwards. If this thing threw accurately 99% of the time like it should then it would be a Godsend but as it stands it's just not reliable enough and actually adds time to the reload process. Thanks for this video though.

Awesome Demo.. A few hours of use and some quality time of  leaning this unit, I mastered it in no time. Accurate and simple to use. A+

This guy outta be a college professor, he explained everything perfectly.

As a safety measure, you shouldn't have more than one can of powder on your loading bench at a time. It's possible to return the powder to the wrong can.

Hell.... I don't read the instruction manual. I didn't even realize it came with a brush. Been having problems with overcharges, this video was extremely helpful :)

To me it seems faster to throw a charge short of the target weight with a manual powder dispenser and then trickle it your self with manual trickler into your scale pan.
