Infected
The Outbreak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But this place is a disease and everyone's infected.
(You're all the same).
It's a sick place and you're all the fucking same,
Scumbag motherfuckers playin' the same old game.
I'll never be a part of it cause it was never meant
And I'll never understand cause it'll never make sense.
The lyrics in The Outbreak's song Infected can be interpreted as a scathing critique of societal norms and the people who perpetuate them. The vocalist expresses disappointment in someone they once respected and trusted, as they have succumbed to the disease of the society around them. The individualistic perspective is reinforced when the vocalist states they will never be a part of this sick environment that everyone seems to contentedly be a part of.
The second verse seems to be an indication of frustration with people who conform to societal norms and are unwilling to break out of their mold. The use of "scumbag motherfuckers" is an indication of disdain towards those people who continue to perpetuate the same ideas and thought processes that continue to make the society sick. The line "I'll never understand cause it'll never make sense" conveys a sense of resignation, as if the vocalist has given up hope of ever changing the status quo.
Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the disease-like nature of societal norms and how they infect individuals who might think and act differently. The use of expletives and harsh language in the lyrics reinforces the anger and frustration that the vocalist is feeling towards the situation.

Pedro pascal is currently headlining two shows where he’s guarding a child. The dude somehow got typecast as the ultimate babysitter. He’s a master at escort missions.

He's like Cable protecting Summer's

He did the same thing in the movie "Prospect". He's definitely typecast as the surrogate father

Men have always cared for their children and protected them, this isnt new masculinity, its just masculinity.

@Kool-Aid Manit's sad how "traditional masculinity" is now "rediscovered masculinity"

The way the Bloater killing the last guy at the beginning of the video is the same death animation you get in the video game.
