2. Omar Akram is the son of a United Nations diplomat, Omar Akram spent many of his early years traveling the world, soaking up the musical traditions of such exotic locales as Afghanistan, Cuba, France, and the Czech Republic.
By the age of 14, he was considered a piano prodigy. In his late teens, he discovered the boundary-pushing sounds of Jean Michel Jarre (France), Kitaro (Japan), and Vangelis (Greece), and began to absorb their independent musical influences. At the same time, Omar Akram remained intrigued by such classical composers as Bach and Mozart, and used much of their thematic coherence, comprehensible structure, and clear rhythmic control to craft his own original compositions.
3. Omar is a two-piece punk band rooted in Philadelphia, PA. They released a CD titled "I'm Not Mad, I'm Just Mad That You're Mad" in April 2010.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alt det, vi har, det misted' jeg troen til stille og roligt
Du gi'r mig psykose, jeg ka' ikk' bruge det, hva' ska' det bruges til?
Så sig' hva' det er, sig hva' det er, der gør dig så loco
Hvordan ka' det være, du' altid på tværs og ikk' vil forstå noget?
Ka' du ikk' se, hva' jeg mener, hva' jeg mener?
Bare la' mig være, jeg vil gern' vider', jeg vil gern' vider'
Ka' du ikk' se, hva' jeg mener? (Ka' du ikk' se) hva' jeg mener
Bare la' mig være, jeg vil gern' vider' (jeg vil gern' vider'), jeg vil gern' vider'
Jeg vil gern' vider', og jeg vil gern' lev' lidt
For jeg' træt af de her tider, det' helt ubeskriveligt
Jeg ved ikk' helt, hva' der sket'
Jeg ved bare, du har tabt den helt
Jeg ved, du hader at vær' alen'
Men bare la' vær', nu 'det for sent
Ka' du føl' hva' jeg mener? Fået nok af problemer
Ka' ikk' længere, ka' ikk' kend' dig
Alt det, vi har, det misted' jeg troen til stille og roligt
Du gi'r mig psykose, jeg ka' ikk' bruge det, hva' ska' det bruges til?
Så sig' hva' det er, sig hva' det er, der gør dig så loco
Hvordan ka' det være, du' altid på tværs og ikk' vil forstå noget?
Ka' du ikk' se, hva' jeg mener, hva' jeg mener?
Bare la' mig være, jeg vil gern' vider', jeg vil gern' vider'
Ka' du ikk' se, hva' jeg mener? (Ka' du ikk' se) hva' jeg mener
Bare la' mig være, jeg vil gern' vider' (jeg vil gern' vider'), jeg vil gern' vider'
Føler at vi sidder fast, kommer aldrig nogle steder
Hvis du bare ku' gi' mig plads
Men alt du gi'r mig, det' bar' stress
Så' der ikk' noget at gør'
Føler ikk', du er den sam', som du var før
Hvordan ka' det være, at det er blevet så'n her?
Burd' ikk' være så'n her
Men desværre, nu' det endt så'n her
Og det' ikk' det værd
Alt det, vi har, det misted' jeg troen til stille og roligt
Du gi'r mig psykose, jeg ka' ikk' bruge det, hva' ska' det bruges til?
Så sig' hva' det er, sig hva' det er, der gør dig så loco
Hvordan ka' det være, du' altid på tværs og ikk' vil forstå noget?

The song "Ka Du Ik" by Omar expresses the feeling of being trapped and dissatisfied in a relationship that has lost its meaning and value. The lyrics discuss the frustration and confusion that come with trying to communicate with a partner who consistently refuses to understand and work through problems. The singer seems to be at a loss, unable to make sense of the other person's behavior and hoping for a way out of the relationship.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire to move on from this relationship and find a way to live a life that is fulfilling and free from stress. The repeated phrase "ka' du ikk' se, hva' jeg mener?" ("can't you see what I mean?") highlights the disconnect between the two people in the relationship and the need for better communication.
Overall, "Ka Du Ik" is a poignant and relatable depiction of the struggles that come with trying to maintain a relationship that is no longer working.

Just leave me be, I want to move on (I want to move on), I want to move on
