Omen
Crisis (Karyn) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of contagious hunger
And broken hope infested
Will come malevolent men
Hands outreaching
Of black hearts hidden
And vampyric lust sheathed
In good will
They will be known
As false shepherds
And they will lead us
Like sheep
Into slaughter
In "Omen," Crisis (Karyn) paints a bleak and unsettling picture of a society plagued by broken hope and contagious hunger. In this context, she warns of the impending arrival of malevolent men with hidden black hearts who will prey on the lost and vulnerable. These men will present themselves as saviors, with hands outreaching in good will, but in reality they are wolves in sheep's clothing. They will be known as false shepherds and will lead the people into slaughter, perpetuating an endless cycle of despair and misery.
The lyrics of "Omen" point to the dangers of blindly following charismatic leaders who prey on people's fears and frustrations, promising salvation but delivering only destruction. The song serves as a warning against giving in to hopelessness and despair, and instead encourages listeners to remain vigilant and skeptical of those who seek to exploit their vulnerabilities.
Line by Line Meaning
Unto the lost
To those who are lost and aimless
Of contagious hunger
Who are craving for something they don't have
And broken hope infested
Who have lost all hope and are trapped in despair
Will come malevolent men
Evil men will appear
Hands outreaching
Reaching out to help
Of black hearts hidden
With evil intentions concealed
And vampyric lust sheathed
Controlling and manipulative desires hidden
In good will
Disguised as good intentions
They will be known
These men will be recognized
As false shepherds
As leaders who deceive and mislead
And they will lead us
And they will guide us
Like sheep
Like followers who blindly obey
Into slaughter
Towards destruction and ruin

Thanks for saying this.
I know a military veteran who was kicked kicked out of military leadership school because he cried after a miscarriage and argument with his girlfriend. Not weeping, just 1 long tear and a short one as he spoke to (mature) first line instructor of the class. The supervisor of the first line instructor kicked him out for being a p*ssy. "Real soldiers don't cry," he and another senior supervisor said... after being in the service after some years, like 5 or 6 years, and many combat service medals.
Later, he had to return to speak to his own 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th line supervisor and explain his plight.
This fake masculinity has plagued us all for eons and is just now killing us off.
Again, thanks for your insight.

My book about this video, and my laziness to make sure it's grammatically correct.
I'm going through an incredible period of growth. Having my son has given me time to reflex on who I am and who I want to be. The video tied something together in my brain.
I was raised in a fundamental and abusive religious community without education and a now seemingly stereotypical poor treatment of women in those communities. Women can only find happiness through raising sperm to term, making sandwiches, and serving others. I have found incredible happiness though having a son, cooking every meal, and improving our home.
That is not all I need. I need the dignity of education. I'm in college now. The joys and societal benefits of playing with chemicals aka chemistry. The happiness that comes with helping those in need and of course getting something you need.
The hope I can change society for the better for my partner, son, and myself. The goal of preventing women being forced via the law to live as I lived in that depressing religious community that I long ago shed.
The pleasure of pursuing human fulfillment.
The End

This is SOOO excellent and hilarious ๐๐๐๐
There were so many lines that made me cackle.
"state mandated girlfriend."
"Soros woman lobby"
"Serve our female overlords"
This is great commentary and so desperately needed.
I do believe miscommunication and assigning blame to men and women is a very old tradition that has to stop. We are all humans.
We are all honestly trying to figure out how to navigate all of the complexities of social life and our interpersonal relationships.
I think the least we can do is just stop terrorizing each other and listen to understand each other.
Keep up the great work

I was born female and thusly raised as a girl, but I always identified myself as a tomboy as if that itself was my gender. Which you could realistically argue it was/is. My mom made sure to instill in me the idea that boys and girls are equal and that it's stupid and mean and wrong to discriminate against a gender. So because of my natural personality and egalitarian upbringing, I legitimately saw myself as "pretty much just like a typical boy, but having to fight sexism to be me".
The thing is, if tv and books and the general public and clothing stores and toy isles hadn't said "oh this stuff is boys stuff and this stuff is girls stuff" I wouldn't have seen myself this way as there would be no need in my prepubescent life to even think about my gender, or my sex for that matter. I'd just be Sam, that one kid who likes climbing trees and wearing basketball shorts. There would be no need for young me to spend so much time and energy trying to convince people to see me for me instead of just seeing my sex and assuming a personality based off that.
I mean, I could wear yellow or green and nobody would bat an eye, but the moment I wore pink or magenta everyone would start treating me as if I also like ballet and princesses and tea parties when they very well knew I didn't. But not yellow or green, or grey, or any other color really aside from maybe some purples. Pink only means what it does because of the abundance of it in stuff made for the female sex and the near total lack of it in stuff made for the male sex. It only gets its meaning by comparing to the oppositely aligned gender. Since yellow and green are worn pretty much equally between genders, those colors have no gendered meaning to them and can just be appreciated as what they are. Simply colors. (Y'know, barring any other cultural color coding like traffic signs and whatnot.)
My entire life has been predominately defined by things that have no meaning until they are given them by a gendered society. My so called "masculine" personality and tastes may very well be heavily effected by society (like the fact I hate owning anything magenta despite it being a genuinely nice color), but most of it was just genuinely how I was born (like greatly preferring short hair. I asked for short hair for the first time when I was 4 and still semi-willingly wore dresses to special occasions. It's genuinely so much easier to deal with).
And nobody would have ever batted an eye in a world without men, or in a world where men and women were genuinely considered, medical needs aside, the same.
And all of this works in reverse as well, as you so much better put it in this video. The idea of masculine or feminine in the male sex is entirely dependent on the gendered idea of the fetishized feminine female sex. But if there were no women, or if they were truly seen as just the same with different medical needs, there would be no distinction between what we currently consider masculine men and feminine men and honestly everyone, as in literally everyone, of all natures and sexes and genders would be much better off for it.

This is probably the most poggers take on masculinity I've seen put into words
I find myself agreeing 100%
Petition to make masculinity just being yourself, uncaring about all the arbitrary notions of the past, as long as you're not actively being a menace to others.
Like as a father myself I always found it weird when other dads around me expressed this need to take care of their family, not because they care to do so, but because it's their "duty as a man" when that's really just twisted.
It's not a duty as a man...it's a duty as a father, and that's entirely different than placating fragile notions of masculinity, it's literally just doing what a parent should do as someone who is obligated to do so when they made the active choice to bring a life into the world

Soros and Bill Gates from the Women lobby were very unhappy with my first upload and stopped funding me. So, if you'd want to help this channel run please consider checking out my Patreon over at: https://www.patreon.com/yugopnik . Thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My wife and I appreciate this!
She just got another job after the last one dropped her when she got ill, and we are privileged enough to have relatives who are helping by paying for a year's worth of rent at a new 1br 650 ftยฒ apartment, which is quite the improvement over our 200 ftยฒ studio filled with mold and 2 years late on rent.
Once we're settled in, we will become patrons at the highest tier we can afford - hopefully, this will help pay your bills and keep you alive. You do important work, and it's truly unfortunate that you don't reach the audience you deserve and that a sizeable chunk of the people who could benefit the most from hearing your words are unreachable on this medium. We both hope these things will change in the near future!
Much love,
Jenn & Atlas Veldine

I said in the first upload that if you fixed it I would join your patreon, now I'm an Ally! For what it's worth your video reignited the fire in my heart when I was taking the doomer pill. Also while only speaking for myself, I enjoy your natural cadence as it give time for thinking about heavy subject matter, also love your music choices in your early videos. Keep up the great work!
