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.
Gatekeeper
OmenXIII Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I open up the gateway
Bitch, better back up all the
Data in your database
Stealth levels up when I
Infiltrate the main frame
You can't get away, I see everything
Kill 'em and
Delete 'em and repeat it til I can't, mane
You could never fathom all the hours I spend
Wandering the chasms of my apathetic membrane
Click and delete, bitch, it's so easy
I rinse and repeat
Lost your devotion now your soul I keep
I thought I fuckin' told you not
To dance with a demon
We get buck
We bump the trunk thumpin' ruckus
I'm in the underground, huh
But I'm under nothing get fucked bitch
I don't have no sympathy left in me
Got a screw loose
If you thinkin' you bestin' me
Black shirt black jeans and
A blacked out sleeve
XI I I Brought 10 black nails to the scene
No no they can't fuck with my energy
We know it's not a mystery
I'm somethin' that they'll never be
They could never fuck with my energy
No, no they can't fuck with my energy
They could never fuck with my energy
We know it's not a mystery
I'm somethin' that they'll never be
In the lyrics of "Gatekeeper" by OmenXIII, the artist vividly describes a sense of encountering darkness and confronting inner demons. The imagery of seeing "a hundred thousand demons" upon opening the gateway creates a haunting visual of the battle within one's own mind and soul. The reference to backing up data in a database suggests a metaphor for preserving one's thoughts and memories in the face of this overwhelming darkness, indicating a need to protect oneself in a vulnerable state.
The artist emphasizes their prowess in navigating through this darkness with lines like "Stealth levels up when I infiltrate the main frame," showcasing a sense of control and skill in handling challenging situations. By asserting "you can't get away, I see everything," OmenXIII exudes a sense of power and insight, suggesting an unbreakable vigilance over the forces at play within and around them.
The artist explores themes of death and repetition in the lines "Touch of the reaper touch anything/Kill 'em and/Delete 'em and repeat it til I can't, mane," reflecting on the cyclical nature of destructive patterns and the toll it takes on one's psyche. Through the reference to wandering through the chasms of an apathetic membrane, OmenXIII delves into the emotional toll of this constant battle, hinting at a sense of detachment and weariness in facing these inner struggles.
The closing verses focus on the artist's resilience and refusal to be swayed by external negativity. With references to maintaining a dark aesthetic and a sense of self-protection, OmenXIII asserts their unique energy and identity in the face of adversity. By proclaiming that others could never match their energy and that they are something unattainable, there's a strong sense of confidence and defiance in asserting their individuality and strength in the face of challenges.
