"To the Hilt" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Banks for her second studio album, The Altar (2016).

The song begins with a "somber orchestral" piano opening, followed by the lines "Oh, it seems a long time ago/ Oh, we didn't know/ Before we had seen anything/ We believed in everything" sung by Banks.

[3] Andrew Paschal of PopMatters said that "the song is a devastating reflection on love lost, long after the anger has subsided, and she is left with only an empty space and some memories.

Banks quivers over every line, in total communion with her melancholic piano", adding that "the song is her "This Woman's Work", and its presence does a lot to help the album.

The blood-soaked laundry list of what went wrong is only comforting for so long, and it does little to replace what has evaporated by the time loss sets in.
