And keep your eyes wide open,
This is not a test,
It's the reason you're alive.
While everyone else is just passing time,
They don't know that they're already dead,
Dead inside.
They don't even know that they're already dead,
Dead inside.
Now put your fists up,
And sing our battle song,
Scream "we are the lost ones" (We are the lost ones)
We'll never give up,
Until we've had enough,
Tonight is the night that we die for.
We all live our lives like tomorrow won't come,
Won't come.
So put your fists up,
And sing our battle song,
Scream "We are the lost ones" (We are the lost ones)
You think you feel alive,
Just admit it,
You've never even really lived for a minute,
You think you've seen death?
Just admit it,
Face to face you wouldn't last a fucking second.
Do you need a reason to believe?
Then just follow me,
Cause I'll show you how lost you are if you're ready to see.
Now put your fists up,
And sing our battle song,
Scream "we are the lost ones" (We are the lost ones)
We'll never give up,
Until we've had enough,
Tonight is the night that we die for.
We all live our lives like tomorrow won't come,
Won't come.
So put your fists up,
And sing our battle song,
Scream "We are the lost ones" (We are the lost ones)
This time it's too late to speak,
Your actions show your true intent,
I won't be a victim to you this time.
Woah, now just follow me
Now put your fists up,
And sing our battle song,
Scream "We are the lost ones" (We are the lost ones)
We'll never give up,
Until we've had enough,
Tonight is the night that we die for.
We all live our lives like tomorrow won't come,
won't come.
So put your fists up,
And sing our battle song,
Scream "We are the lost ones" (We are the lost ones)
The song "The Lost Ones" by Out Came the Wolves is an anthem that calls out to those who feel lost and disconnected from the world. The opening lines ask the listener to pay attention because what is about to be heard and seen is not a test, but the very reason they are alive. The lyrics suggest that while everyone is just passing time, they do not realize they are already dead, dead inside. The song is a call to wake up from that malaise and join the ranks of those who are willing to fight for a better life, a life that feels alive.
The song speaks to the feelings of many people who feel disconnected with society, and the chorus of the song is an invitation to join in a battle song that celebrates and embraces the feeling of being lost. The lyrics encourage the listener to put their fists up and scream "we are the lost ones," proclaiming that they will never give up until they've had enough, even if that means fighting to the death. The message of the song is that it's better to live life with passion and purpose, even if it means taking risks and feeling lost.
One of the key themes in "The Lost Ones" is the idea of not just existing but truly living. The song suggests that many people are just going through the motions, not realizing that they are dead inside. It is a call to action to shake off the sense of apathy and join the ranks of those who are willing to fight for their lives. The song's lyrics confront the listener with the reality of their life and ask them to be honest with themselves. Are they really living, or are they just existing?
