Omen gained recognition from his mixtape MISFIT and GRIM with such track as “Drop Dead”, “I Think It’s Time That I Emerge”, “Silver Studs” and “I Didn’t Want To Do It This Way, But”.
Past works from him are producing as Dream Walker (2014)
Omen carries a negative connotation, though contrary to popular belief there are good Omens as well as bad ones. XIII is considered unlucky in western culture, but in other cultures, it isn’t so, sometimes it is even considered sacred, the 13 combines the 12 and the 1 seamlessly, 13 is also 4. The misconceptions represent the misunderstanding that he has felt in life.
Doom
OmenXIII Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take it in stride, only get one try
Still ask why, I'm alive just to die
Lost to the truth so I'm stuck in a lie
Life keeps changing, waking up daily
I don't wanna change it
Death comes soon, so we all have to face it
Life ain't a race or a place that you go
No home
Let go of the past, you can thank me later
Pay in advance
Need attention for impression to last
Need intention to make a choice on a path
Now I cannot find a way out
Should I just give up or should
I try to be satisfied
Does it even matter? What does
It mean to be human i don't really care
I just wanna pass with the time and
I've made my decision
I gotta live my life and
Nobody can tell me just how
To do that right so
I walk into the shadows and I
Just keep my eyes closed
XI I I The Reaper until I rest in peace so
Stay out of my way if you wanna live
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
Never liked my shit so you won't like this
OmenXI I I, still that Yung Misfit
Ten black nails with the blade in my grip
Black shirt, black jeans, bitch
You know what it is
I've been doin this for a minute now
I'm steady countin digit's
Critics listen to the sound but
They don't listen the lyrics
Fuck the image
I was really in pain back then
Nowadays, same pain, don't have to pretend
Now I cannot find a way out
Should I just give up or should
I try to be satisfied
Does it even matter? What does
It mean to be human i don't really care
I just wanna pass with the time and
I've made my decision
I gotta live my life and
Nobody can tell me just how
To do that right so
I walk into the shadows and I
Just keep my eyes closed
XI I I The Reaper until I rest in peace so
Stay out of my way if you wanna live
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Without you next to me
The lyrics to OmenXIII's song "Doom" capture a sense of existential questioning and a deep desire for personal agency in the face of mortality. The opening lines, "Born too soon, taking too long to die / Take it in stride, only get one try," reflect on the inherent fragility of life and the fleeting nature of our existence. The artist ponders the purpose of their being, feeling lost in a world where truth seems elusive and lies prevail.
Throughout the song, OmenXIII rejects societal norms and expectations, expressing a desire to break free from the past and live life on their own terms. They contemplate the meaning of being human, ultimately dismissing the significance of such concerns, emphasizing their personal quest for fulfillment. The artist declares their intention to embrace life's uncertainties, forgoing the guidance of others and walking their own path, even if it leads into the shadows.
The refrain, "I can't breathe, I can't sleep / Without you next to me," adds an intimate touch to the lyrics, suggesting a longing for connection and perhaps an awareness of the toll that isolation and existential contemplation can take. It highlights the artist's vulnerability and the need for companionship in navigating the complexities of life.
Overall, "Doom" encapsulates the inner struggles, questioning of purpose, and yearning for agency that many individuals experience in their journey through existence.
