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.

Omar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Noch weit, weit entfernt von Hase und Cali
Acht Jahre später drück' ich dir
Kiloweise das beste Hase
Früher waren's Messer, heute Scharfe am Belly
(Check) ich bin haram, du flexst Nasen
Ich geh' über Leichen, Bruder
Drück die Waage ans Limit mit reinem Gewissen
Das Motto hier in meinem Viertel
Hеißt: Hauptsache Geld haben (Hеh)
Ey, verlorene Kinder mit Haftschaden
Ich such' Hass, ich such' Stress
Ich such' Anklagen
Bull'n treten die Türe und zielen
Mit Wumme in meine Fresse
Doch die Augen sagen mir
Dass sie Angst haben (Polizei)
Nicht rasen, fahr' bedacht mit 12k-Canna
Drück' den Kurs hier, so gut, wie's geht
Weil der Preis bestimmt dein Schnapp
Sagt mein Papa ey, Nutten ficken für Para
Was ich verballer' (Ah)
Kunden wollen keine Hektik, Kunden wollen Ama
Ich hab' keine Angst davor
Alleine zu bleiben
Doch dich allein zu lassen, ich liebe dich
Mama meine Welt ist dunkel geworden
Seitdem ich im Rotlicht war
Ich hab' Hass in der Seele und du Anabolika
Ich hab' Taş in der Vene und
Para so haram wie meine Zelle
Bruder, irgendwie fühl' ich
Mich Rothschildner, ey
Mit siebzehn Pakete von Holland am ballern
Ich hatte mehr im Bunker
Als Rapper Scheine in Tasche (Ey)
Jedes Wort, was ich auf dem
Album erzähle, erklärt dir
Warum ich heute keinem mehr
Traue und leise verpacke
Meine Seele wurd in jungen
Jahren vom Teufel geküsst
Brüder sind verloren gegang'n an diesem Gift
Siebeneinhalb Jahre Haft hab'
Ich schon gekriegt
Aber unterm Strich waren es fünf Jahre
Die ich sitz'
Check, Zelle rein, raus, Haftschaden
Du träumst von Liebe, wir von Halbstrafen
Keine Verräter in mei'm Kreis heißt:
"Bro, du kannst drauf bauen
Keiner wird aussagen"
Ich bin nicht so'n Scheiße labernder Rapper
Das erste Video kam aus der Zelle von mir
Und eine Zellenkontrolle um sieben, Video
Später bin ich gesignter Rapper und
Habe bei Sony ein'n Deal
Komm, ich nehm' dich mit und erzähl' dir
Wie Haram das Leben ist
Ja, warum ich sitze und begreif'
Wo der Fehler ist
Jedes Wort ist wahr und auch
Der Richter wird checken
Nach diesem Album, dass nicht ich
Sondern das Leben der Täter ist
Omar-S's song Intro is a melancholic track that explores the emotions of longing and desire. The lyrics express an intense yearning for someone, with the repetition of "I need, I need you, I want, I want you" emphasizing the desperation of this longing. The lines "Three days my eye's turning blue, my head, my mind, it turns to you" suggest that the singer has been consumed by thoughts of their crush for an extended period of time, to the point where it is affecting their physical and mental health.
The song also contains a Spanish interlude, where a woman tells the singer to "Take this wine, dance so much, dance so well." This interlude adds a layer of mystery to the song, as it is unclear who this woman is or what her relationship with the singer is. The use of Spanish also serves to add some exoticism and intrigue to the lyrics.
The second half of the song takes a darker turn, with the singer expressing self-loathing after drinking too much. The lines "I'm close to help my fall, but please don't take away my soul" suggest that the singer is battling inner demons, and is afraid of losing their spiritual essence. The use of the word "Soul" as the final word of the song reinforces this idea, and adds a sense of finality to the track.
Line by Line Meaning
I need, I need you
I am dependent on you, I crave your presence and attention
I want, I want you
I desire your love and affection
Three days my eye's turning blue
I have been struggling and suffering for three days
My head, my mind, it turns to you
My thoughts and emotions are consumed by thoughts of you
Ella, ella me dijo
She, she told me
Toma este vino
Take this wine
Baila tanto, baila tan bien
Dance so much, dance so well
Drank too much
I consumed too much alcohol
I really hate myself
I have a strong feeling of self-loathing
Two cars race down the hill
There are two cars racing down a steep slope
Swerve quick, loose steering wheel
One of the cars makes a sudden turn due to a malfunctioning steering wheel
Turn it off
I want to shut off my mind
My shit don't work at all
I am mentally and emotionally drained and unable to function
I'm close to help my fall
I am on the verge of a mental breakdown
But please don't take away my soul
Despite my struggles, I still hope to keep a sense of myself and my inner essence
Soul
My inner being, my true self
