About This Track

'Loaded' by HMLTD is an alternative track from the album 'West of Eden' (2020). The lyrics stage a tense, homebound address, with voices demanding destruction and a coercive insistence to sign and submit. There is a recurring confession, framed around surrender, that culminates in the line, 'I sold my soul to the devil tonight'. The song’s imagery is all thresholds and paperwork, fury and compliance, making the domestic setting feel like an office for spiritual blackmail.

"Loaded" is a single by HMLTD, from the album West of Eden, released 7th February 2020. The track is 3:16 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about HMLTD.

Lyrics

Loaded

Hey father, I can feel a
Fury in and out this home
In the hallway, voices say
Kill the things that you love the most

There's some space in the valley of the guards
Sign your name on the dotted line above

Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Cause I was pretty fucking poor
Take your elevator up to your sky
I'm gonna be on the TV tonight
I sold my soul to the devil tonight
And I'm still pretty fucking poor
But my gun is fucking loaded

I can see Central Park
Reflected in your eyes
But there's no passion, there's no spark
In the pupils nor the whites

Daddy's cool with a bullet 'tween his eyes
Momma too, she's played up for her crimes

Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Cause I was pretty fucking poor
Take your elevator up to your sky
I'm gonna be on the TV tonight
I sold my soul to the devil tonight
And I'm still pretty fucking poor
But my gun is fucking loaded

My home and my possessions, they rendered me a slave
So I set my heart free, I went home and blew it all away
The espresso machine drip, the plasma screen is playing
The hum of the V8 whip, baby go home blow it all away

Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Yeah I sold my soul to the devil tonight
Cause I was pretty fucking poor
Take your elevator up to your sky
I'm gonna be on the TV tonight
I sold my soul to the devil tonight
And I'm still pretty fucking poor
But my gun is fucking loaded
