Outnumbered Five to One
Is it
Down and out for the count
Is it
Out of time. I'm referencing a failed bomb defusal
I think question_asker is close to the money, but I think the solution is just
DOWN AND OUT
because
OUT is going DOWN the page from 5 to 1. And being DOWN AND OUT is synonymous for feeling gloomy
I think it is
Out of order.
Because
It's the the order from $5$ to $1$. And it is gloomy too.
How about:
Beaten all ends up
Because
Beaten could be a synonym for out.
Both the ends $5$ and $1$ are out.
The remaining numbers get out while going up, from $1$ to $5$ when natural order is considered.
Moreover, it is a gloomy phrase, as it means defeating totally.
