About This Track

'Hell' by Sleater-Kinney is an alternative track from the album 'Little Rope' (2024). The lyrics paint a grim, almost roadside vision of ‘Hell’ as a place with no past and no invitation, following a certain path and meeting desperation rather than comfort. A young man with a gun appears in the scene, and the repeated question “Why like there's no tomorrow” frames a sense of urgency and fatalism. The overall effect is starkly confrontational, as if the song is looking straight at a choice, and at what follows it.

"Hell" is a track by Sleater-Kinney, from the album Little Rope, released 19th January 2024. The track is 3:14 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Sleater-Kinney.

Lyrics

Hell

Hell don't have no worries
Hell don't have no past
Hell is just a signpost
When you take a certain path

Hell needs no invitation
Hell don't make no fuss
Hell is desperation
And a young man with a gun

You ask
Why like there's no tomorrow
You ask
Why like there's no tomorrow

Hell don't have no future
Hell don't have no doubt
Hell is just a place that
We can't seem to live without

I pull myself in pieces
Pull myself apart
It's like looking in a mirror
And see a stranger looking back

You ask
Why like there's no tomorrow
You ask
Why like there's no tomorrow

Hell don't have no future
Hell don't have no past
Hell don't have no worries
We're gonna live at last

You ask
Why like there's no tomorrow
You ask
Why like there's no tomorrow
