I love a spot of Meatloaf. Not the yummy tasty kind but the hard rock kind. Some of my favourite ever song lyrics are Meatloaf lyrics. So today I give you some inspirational lyrics by Meatloaf.
Bat Out Of Hell 2 – Back Into Hell Album
I think I was introduced to his Bat Out Of Hell 2 album by an old family friend. Now that I think of it, I was given a copy of the album years back and I still listen to it. I was once old that this is considered heavy rock which to me is surprising because I never thought of myself as a rock person. Nice to know I could be “in” with the rock scene though!
Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)
You were only killing time and it will kill you right back, so come on come on, its time to burn up the fuse, you’ve got nothing to do and even less to lose
Meatloaf – Out of the Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)
Honestly, this is one of my favourite lines from a song ever! I’ve probably mentioned this song before, it’s certainly on my “wake up it’s a new day” playlist!
In fact I loved this lyric so much that it did end up in my old Bullet Journal. I hadn’t long started with the journal at the time so the lettering wasn’t the best!

To be fair, I love the whole “Back Into Hell” album and another favourite inspirational quotes comes from “Everything Louder Than Everything Else”
And I ain’t in it for the power,
and I ain’t in it for my health
I ain’t in it for the glory of anything at all,
and I sure ain’t in it for the wealthBut I’m in it ’till it’s over and I just can’t stop
If you wanna get it done, you gotta do it yourself,Meatloaf – Everything Louder Than Everything Else
Both these songs are on my Monday morning playlist (when I’m not listening to Spence and Rach on Heart that is!). If I need something to wake me up and give me a kick in the butt type of boost then I stick this album on, crank up the volume and sing along as loudly as I can! Try it, can’t be beaten!
Are there any song lyrics that inspire you?
I love Meatloaf and his music. Have you seen him live? I’ve seen him at Birmingham NEC a couple of times (though the first time I went to see him, it was cancelled at the last minute and it was quite a long drive home!).
I sang’ 2 out of 3 ain’t bad’ for my year six leaving assembly with my two best friends. Love me a bit of Meatloaf!
“But there ain’t no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box”
RIP Meatloaf
