Omen
Cera Gibson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you're my moon
I'll always be your sun
No matter what's to come
We got too good at pretending
We won't find out happy ending
Hey you
You're a burning omen on the hill
Fall away from the ceiling
Never know if we're dreaming
Either will kill
No matter what we've done
You know you're my moon
I'll always be your sun
No matter what's to come
We got too good at pretending
We won't find out happy ending
Hey you
Pull my hide off like a wolf and make a cloak
Let it warm you when you think that you might choke
Or let it dry in the sun
When it's used up and spun
Just don't let me go
No matter what we've done
You know you're my moon
I'll always be your sun
No matter what's to come
We got too good at pretending
We won't find out happy ending
No one will know you
As you are right now
I have all these years
I've locked them down
No one will love you
As you are right now
Every little detail
I've locked them down
No matter what we've done
You know you're my moon
I'll always be your sun
No matter what's to come
We got too good at pretending
We won't find out happy ending
Cera Gibson's song "Omen" is a hauntingly beautiful ode to love and its complexities. Throughout the song, Gibson alludes to the idea that their love is predestined, like an omen, as evidenced in the lyric "You're a burning omen on the hill." This love is all-encompassing and all-consuming, as the chorus repeats the line "No matter what we've done, you know you're my moon, I'll always be your sun, no matter what's to come." This is a declaration of unwavering love, promising to stay by each other's side through thick and thin.
The second verse really drives home the idea that this love is not just any ordinary love, it is all-consuming and all-encompassing. The lyrics "Pull my hide off like a wolf and make a cloak, let it warm you when you think that you might choke, or let it dry in the sun, when it's used up and spun, just don't let me go" are particularly captivating. It speaks to the idea that their love provides comfort and solace, like a protective shield that will always be there to keep them safe.
Overall, "Omen" is a beautiful and emotional song that is a testament to the power and magic of love.

No matter what we've done
Regardless of our past actions
You know you're my moon
You are my constant source of light and guidance
I'll always be your sun
I will always be here to shine light on your darkness
No matter what's to come
Despite the uncertainties of the future
We got too good at pretending
We have become skilled at masking our true emotions
We won't find out happy ending
Our relationship will not have a fairy tale ending
Hey you
Addressing the listener
You're a burning omen on the hill
You symbolize a warning or foreboding on the horizon
It would be better to take a pill
It may be easier to escape reality with medication
Fall away from the ceiling
Drift away from the burdens weighing us down
Never know if we're dreaming
Uncertainty about what is real and what is not
Either will kill
Both staying stuck in our current state and changing hold dire consequences
Pull my hide off like a wolf and make a cloak
Take everything I have, use it to keep yourself warm and comfortable
Let it warm you when you think that you might choke
Let my love and presence comfort you in times of distress
Or let it dry in the sun
Or let go of me when you no longer need me
When it's used up and spun
When all has been taken from me
Just don't let me go
Do not leave me behind completely
No one will know you
No one will understand you
As you are right now
In your current state
I have all these years
I have spent time getting to know you
I've locked them down
I have kept those memories and feelings inside
No one will love you
No one will love you as deeply as I do
Every little detail
Every aspect of you
I've locked them down
I have kept them hidden within myself
