Outnumbered Lyrics

We are outnumbered...
The virus has completely devastated over 150 of the world's major regions and is spreading rapidly.
At this point in time we know of only one method of killing the creatures: destroy the brain.
Beyond the guard of any loved ones who may have recently been in any sort of contact could be infected.
And if you find yourself out in a threatening position, please do not hesitate to act.
Again, this is not a test.
This is not a joke.
We as a species are overwhelmed.
We are outnumbered!

Standing at accuracy's demise we have reached the new world wasteland.
Population converted: One by one (one by one), thousands upon thousands.
Like scavengers on waste, like vultures on the sick, zombies outnumber the living.
We are the outnumbered. We are the outnumbered.

Find your post, find your shelter in hopes of outliving the undead.
Build your walls, maintain protection with ambitions of beating the odds.
Find your post, find your shelter in hopes of outliving the undead.
Build your walls, maintain protection with ambitions of beating the odds.

In a sea of stinking rot, in a place where living humans are no longer the hunters,
all the money in the world won't satisfy the enemy.... Hunted. Hunted. Hunted. Hunted.

Standing at accuracy's demise we have reached the new world wasteland. Go...
Mankind is the losing faction; retreat is eternally hopeless.

Find your post, find your shelter in hopes of outliving the undead.
Build your walls, maintain protection with ambitions of beating the odds.
Find your post, find your shelter in hopes of outliving the undead.
Build your walls, maintain protection!

With ambitions of beating the odds.

We are the outnumbered.

its talking about how the worlds becoming a wasteland, which we have to admit it is with all the death and crime. also the oil spill! :p but in all seriousness its speaking about how many people have turned to hate and ultimately, destruction. "with ambitions of beating the odds" its talking about keeping your own, beating what satan is trying to throw at you. " find your post, find your shelter, build your walls maintain protection" its talking about finding God and keeping close, find shelter in God, build your walls against the worlds destruction, and keep yourself protected from it.

and the dude who said its just about zombies, how ignorant..

and @blessthefate, no, this song isn't about any jesus coming back. this song is about zombies. all songs on this EP will be about zombies.

i'm sorry dr0mztm, but you're an idiot. prada is one of biggest christian bands in this scene, and i don't know where you've been for the last couple years, but every single one of their songs has had some sort of religious meaning behind it. do you really think prada would just write an entire EP about zombies? uhhhh...NO! i'm not sure if this is about Jesus coming back or not, that could be part of it, but it definitely has to do with the fact that Christians in this world, and especially in this country, are becoming the minority....

oh, come one. i've known the devil wears prada for years and i know that their songs are based in religous things. i am christian myself. but i didn't made that up just for fun. i read an interview where Mike Hranica talks about this EP and guess what? it's really about zombies! only zombies! no jesus, zombies instead! look:

"The whole thing is just completely based upon zombies," explained TDWP's front man Mike Hranica. "Last fall, I was on a real zombie kick, I read 'The Zombie Survival Guide' by Max Brooks, and I thought, 'what if we made...

jddashorty07, I'm a christian too, and TDWP is my favorite band of all time. But the entire EP is just about zombies.

It's not a "clever front" or anything like that. The guys just wanted to have fun and make a 5 song disc with a zombie theme. They pretty much said that before they even started making it.

haahaha i was just making a joke

I totally think, with hollywoods demonic views on zombies and the picture we have of zombies, that the infection is christianity and is spreading rapidly. We as christians arent on the defenseive, we are on the offensive rapidly advancing the kingdom of God all over the world. what if zombies are the living and the survivors are the dead ones? think about it... only holding up there own? living to survive? thats not christianity. We are a body of believers not our own being, we are a unit. And we are living to outlive this world and all the evils it throws at us, but we are also fighting it with our beliefs all over the world.Even if we are outnumbered by this worlds forces, we have a benifactor and His name is above all names and his power is above all powers, and His name is Jesus Christ.

I'm excited for this. Even if I didn't already love TDWP, I would buy this EP just because it's about zombies :)

Cover art for Outnumbered lyrics by Devil Wears Prada, The

They said that they were just making this album for fun, writing about zombies obviously. But the actual lyrics do mean something. During the chorus I think it means you need to find yourself and stick with it. There are so many bad things going on in the world that people forget who they are and go with the flow. And yeah maybe it could have something to do with like finding Jesus Christ and believe in him even if other people don't. And yes, whoever said it's only about zombies mustn't think much.

My Interpretation

Kudos to TDWP for branding this song with a name that is both relevant to the lyrics and not ridiculously stupid!
