Their R&B/Hip-hop/Rap/soul music takes influences from their various backgrounds (Arab, Pakistani, and Latin music), and although their songs are primarily in English, they usually feature lyrics in Spanish, Urdu, Arabic, and Danish. All these influences make the music of Outlandish somewhat unique and this is easy to notice from the variety of genres covered in their albums. Outlandish often include themes about Islam and contemporary issues facing young Muslims in the west in their music, and sometimes their songs define a nasheed-like unique genre.
So far they have produced four albums: Outland's Official (2000), Bread & Barrels of Water (2003), Beats, Rhymes & Life (2004) and Closer Than Veins (2005).
Last November 2006 Outlandish won the MTV EMAs as a best danish act of the year, the same month as the creation of their new fan-site Elmoro4Life.com
Worrier
Outlandish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can't buy happiness try to lease
Or buy a better mirror stare a little longer now
One thousand reasons to cry out
Is that a life?
A thousand reasons to smile, I tell you why
Consolation to you tears I'ma light up your way
For what its worth
You're my warrior
And I'm your worrier
Do not be confused by the murderers
Goodness is bigger than us you can't see it cause
It is silent yeah but it's feeding this world
You are not depressed cause you fell out of love
Everything is a test maybe you´re better off
What you call a problem I just call them lessons of love
For what it's worth
You're my warrior
And I'm your worrier
Come on let's take a walk
Shh don't say a word
Let's not talk
Let the silence do all the communicating tonight
Life is not just a walk in the park
I know that
But its a start right
They say silence is gold
But its kind of hard when so much remains untold
You looking the other way me kicking up dust
Blocking the sun still got shades on
Blocking our point of view
Yeah we differ a lot about what and what not´s
What we ain't and what we could have got
Thinking our arms ain't to short to box with God
This ain't a midnight stroll in Paris
More like a careless walk through a field of land mines
I cherish you
Though you are a warrior too
What are we to do
God never promised you days without pain
Laughter without sorrow
Sun without rain
But He did promise strength for you every day
Still in Tears!! Oh how can I not be sad
For my guidance was
Was upon your hands
Wrapped around, I pray, I pray you understand
For what it's worth
You're my warrior
And I'm you worrier
Te falta el aire (Do you need air?)
Te compro el viento (I'll buy the wind)
Soy tu dinero (I'll be you money)
Si yo te quiero (Now that I love you?)
Porque te vas ( Why are you leaving?)
Mi fusilero (My executioner)
Soy lo que veo (I'm what I see)
Soy lo que das (I'm what you give)
Tu prisionero (I'm your prisoner)
Lo que me diste (What you gave me)
Lo guardo adrentro (I keep it inside)
Soy tu guerrero (I'm your warrior)
From my mother I learned
Never is too late
That's its always possible to start out again
You may feel you've stopped but you're just on your way
You are not depressed
You just unemployed
This is all we got, don't you kill it boy
Everybody is in love when things are going well
For what it's worth
You're my warrior
And I'm your worrier
The lyrics of Outlandish's song Warrior // Worrier convey the powerful message of always staying strong, embracing our strengths and weaknesses, and persevering through difficult times. The opening lines "Do whatever you love and you will be free, if you can't buy happiness try to lease, or buy a better mirror stare a little longer now" encourages listeners to focus on what they love and to love themselves. It suggests that happiness can be found in simple things, and that a little bit of self-love and self-reflection can go a long way in achieving happiness.
The song acknowledges the existence of pain, suffering, and hardships in life but also reassures listeners that they are not alone. It acknowledges the presence and impact of evil in the world, but asserts that goodness is far more powerful and pervasive than evil, even if it may not always be visible. The line "You are not depressed cause you fell out of love, everything is a test maybe you're better off, what you call a problem I just call them lessons of love" encourages listeners to view their problems as lessons and to keep striving towards growth and self-improvement.
In the chorus, the singer calls the listener their warrior while acknowledging themselves as a worrier, suggesting that they rely on each other for strength and support. The ending of the song with "From my mother I learned, never is too late, that's it's always possible to start out again, you may feel you've stopped but you're just on your way" reminds the listener to never give up and to keep pushing forward, even when the journey gets tough.
