1) Outcast is a technica… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Outcast is a technical and progressive death metal band from France.
They started out in 1998 as Overlander. The band really launched its career with the release in 2002 of a 4 track CD “The Source Of All Creation” which gave the band its tone and musical direction: Thrash tinted with Death Metal. The MCD was well-received on the French underground scene. The band members were Wilfried (rhythm guitar and vocals), Clement (bass guitar), Romuald (solo guitar) and Mathieu (drums).
At the beginning of 2003, the band recruited Guillaume and Gregory as guitar players to replace Romuald and Wilfried who is now only a vocalist. During that year, Outcast performed at a series of concerts.
In February 2004 Gregory left, to be replaced in July by Nicolas (also a guitarist in Symbyosis and Reason Sleeps). At this time Outcast signed a licence agreement with the French label Thundering Records. “First Call/Last Warning” was released in March 2005 and combined Swedish Thrash Metal with Death Metal, but also emphasising melodies. The release of a new album was planned for fall 2007.
2) Outcast is a Death metal band from Belgium. They play a style similar to old school death metal with highlights of slam death metal.
The band was started in 1997 by brothers Nick and Tim, joined by Nico D (bass) and Wouter (vocals). Since their style was completely different from other bands in the region, they changed their name from "Stronghold" to "Outcast".
Wouter was replaced by Dréten. Outcast recorded a tape, released by Sven Aborted on Esophagus Records. Gerrit then replaced Dréten. In November 1998 a second guitar player was recruited: Wesley B (ex-Sektor, ex-Strong Individual).
In April 1999, the band recorded five tracks but these were not released, and Gerrit left. For some live shows, singers Steve 187 and Sven Aborted joined the band.
A tape of the recordings was released by the band, and the new singer Nico R also released the recordings on his own label. This resulted in a 3-way split with Immersed in Blood (Sweden) and Confessions of Obscurity (Belgium) at the end of 2000.
The band broke up in 2001 due to disagreements between the band members. Tim and Nick then recruited Geoff (ex-Retaliate) on the 4-string, Carrez (ex-Ectopia, ex-Caducity) on guitar, and Beermaster and Pieter on vocals. Beermaster left after the come-back shows.
In 2003 DHM Records released a mini-promo split CD with Retaliate. Carrez then left, but the remaining four members continued playing live shows. Side projects at this time included One False Move and Whatever It Takes.
In 2005 Outcast recorded a track for the Face Your Underground 3 compilation CD. A promo split CD with Moker was released on Shiver Records in January 2006. Geoff quit the band in February 2006 and was replaced by Wesley B.
In June 2006 the band worked with producer Dirk Miers on a first full album, planned for release by DHM Records in 2009.

(Caroline!)
See, Caroline, all the guys would say she's mighty fine
(mighty fine)
But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time
And the other half either got you cussed out, or coming up short
Yeah, dig this now, even though
(even though)
(to divide)
The time it took to look inside and realize that
Real guys go for real down-to-Mars girls, yeah
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like ooo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like ooo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like ooo poo poo

Caroline!
(Caroline!)
I said see she's the reason for the word bitch
(bitch)
I hope she's speeding on the way to the club
Trying to hurry up to get to some
Baller or singer or somebody like that
And try to put on her makeup in the mirror
And crash, crash, crash... into a ditch
(Just playing)
She needs a golden calculator to divide
(to divide)
The time it took to look inside and realize that
Real guys go for real down-to-Mars girls, yeah
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like ooo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like ooo poo poo

Well she's got a hottie's body, but her attitude is potty
When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty
I said, "Shorty would you call me?"
She said, "Pardon me, are you ballin'?"
I said "Darling, you sound like like like a prostitute", pausing
Oh, so you're one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of ATM receipt
But game been peeped, dropping names she's weak
Trickin' off this bitch is lost
Must take me for a geek a quick way to eat
A neat place sleep, a rent-a-car for a week, a trick for a treat
No-go on the raw sex, my AIDS test is flawless
Regardless, we don't want to get involved with all them lawyers
And judges just to hold grudges in a courtroom
I wanna see your support bra, not support you
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like ooo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like ooo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See roses really smell like ooo poo poo
Yeah, roses really smell like ooo poo poo
I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer

I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer

"Roses" by Outkast is a satirical commentary on the dangers of living in the fast lane, chasing after material wealth and fame. The song takes aim at a woman named Caroline, who represents a certain type of superficiality and arrogance prevalent in society. The chorus repeats the phrase: "I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank, but lean a little bit closer, see roses really smell like ooo poo poo," which serves as a metaphor for the idea that just because someone appears to have it all together on the surface, there may be underlying issues or unpleasant realities.
The lyrics suggest that Caroline is the type of woman who spends all her time chasing after ballers and singers at the club, without ever taking a moment to look within and realize that real men go for real women, not just ones with superficial charms. The line "she needs a golden calculator to divide the time it took to look inside and realize that" suggests that Caroline is so focused on external appearances that she cannot even begin to fathom the concept of self-reflection.
The song also touches on themes of prostitution and the commoditization of sexuality, with lines like "shorty would you call me, she said pardon me are you ballin, I said darling you sound like a prostitute." These lyrics show that even though someone may have a "hottie's body," they may have underlying emotional issues that make them less attractive in the long run.
Overall, "Roses" is a brilliant commentary on the dangers of superficiality and a call for people to focus on inner beauty and genuine connections rather than chasing after material wealth and fleeting moments of fame.
