Born To Lose

The Devil Wears Prada's song 'Born To Lose' delves into themes of disillusionment, existential struggle, and societal critique. The opening lines, 'Blessed be those who have no idols. Invoke holy honor, sanctify the patient,' set a tone of questioning and skepticism towards societal norms and the veneration of false idols. This sentiment is echoed throughout the song, as the narrator expresses a deep sense of frustration and alienation from the world around them.

The repeated refrain, 'You don't know what you need. We're all so back and forth, nothing is as it seems,' highlights a pervasive sense of confusion and disorientation. The narrator feels that society is caught in a cycle of making the same mistakes and failing to learn from them, leading to a sense of hopelessness and futility. This is further emphasized by the lines, 'I'm born to lose with a noose around my neck. World be damned and move forward,' which convey a feeling of being trapped and powerless in the face of an indifferent world.

The song's aggressive and raw musical style complements its lyrical content, creating a powerful and cathartic experience for the listener. The Devil Wears Prada, known for their metalcore sound, uses heavy instrumentation and intense vocals to convey the emotional weight of the lyrics. 'Born To Lose' serves as a poignant commentary on the struggles of modern existence, the search for meaning, and the frustration of feeling unheard and misunderstood in a chaotic world.
