Theme From The Omen
101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics

The lyrics of 101 Strings Orchestra's “Theme from the Persueders” song call attention to the uncertainty of life’s route and the resulting anxiety that follows such uncertainty. The words pose a number of life-altering questions that are not always easy to answer. The opening lyrics, “Do you know where you’re going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to, do you know? Do you get what you’re hoping for?” encourage listeners to pause and reflect on their own lives. These questions express a sense of bewilderment and uncertainty present in our daily existence.

The second verse takes a nostalgic turn, reminiscing over the fantasies and dreams that we have all held. This nostalgia is likely because time and the impermanence of life swiftly move us through different stages. As time passes, our dreams may begin to slip away. In the subsequent lines, “Why must we wait so long before we see how sad the answers to those questions can be?” we're helped to come to terms with the main sentiment. It is only with the advantage of hindsight that we may truly appreciate how elusive life may be.

The song shows us the importance of reflection and introspection. We need to examine where we have been and evaluate where we are heading to determine life goals and aspirations. The ending lyrics, “Do you know where you’re going to? Do you get what you’re hoping for? When you look behind you there’s no open door.” Once again, we are reminded that we need to be attentive and curious with our lives, and that we should never take it for granted.
