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.
All Alone
OmenXiii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you feel me crawling up, down your spine?
I breathe and everything 'round me dies
I think I'm, I'm the reaper at night
Butterfly by my side
Always ride with my knife
Every time that I rhyme
Can you see me running 'round in your mind?
Can you feel me crawling up, down your spine?
I breathe and everything 'round me dies
I think I'm, I'm the reaper at night
Everytime I look inside I see the same sights
Hear the same lies, I don't ask why
I just live life for the sunrise but I still despise
Every single moment I
Struggle with the burden on my mind
Life on this earth is a curse of mine
Wise in the words and I stay supplied, so
I will never give into the worlds disguise
Can you see me running 'round in your mind?
Can you feel me crawling up, down your spine?
I breathe and everything 'round me dies
I think I'm, I'm the reaper at night
I'm the reaper at night
I'm the reaper at night
I'm the reaper at night
