2. Omnia is an electronic dance music producer, his track Stick in monday was featured in the Trance Mix Mission Podcast.
Man behind it all, is Evgeny Smirnov. Born in 1987, he would grow up with a diverse taste in music, loving and exploring the beauty of different genres. In the 90’s, he turned his passion for EDM into a hobby and started toying around with producing programs. After discovering trance music, Evgeny knew which path to follow and started developing his sound into this direction.
At the end of 2006, when Evgeny was only 20 years old, he concentrated on creating his own, quality tracks and saw big names like Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz and Above & Beyond play his tracks and remixes on the radio and during gigs. Remixes on ‘Ørjan Nilsen – La Guitarra’ and ‘Armin van Buuren feat. Jacqueline Govaert – Never Say Never’ put Omnia’s name on the map.
Get The Halfling
Omnia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saruman! Saruman!
Fuck you, Gandalf!
Saruman! Saruman!
Burn the trees down!
Saruman! Saruman!
Get the halfling!
Saruman! Saruman!
Get the halfling!
Fuck you, Gandalf!
Burn the trees down!
Get the halfling!
The lyrics to Omnia's song, Get The Halfling, depict a scene from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, where the evil wizard Saruman commands his army to capture the halfling Frodo Baggins, who possesses the One Ring that could ultimately destroy the Dark Lord Sauron. The repeated chants of "Saruman! Saruman!" show that the army is fiercely loyal to him, and they will do whatever it takes to fulfill his orders. As the lyrics progress, the anger towards Gandalf, who opposes Saruman, is palpable with the expletive "Fuck you, Gandalf!" and the desire to "Burn the trees down!" which was part of Saruman's plan to destroy nature in Middle-earth. Finally, the main objective remains as clear as ever, with the repeated cry of "Get the halfling!"
The song's lyrics convey the power dynamics at play in the story. The sheer force of Saruman and his army is highlighted by the repetition of his name and the aggressive tone of the chants. Additionally, the lyrics also touch upon larger themes of greed and destruction. Saruman's desire for power and control is so intense that he is willing to destroy everything in his path, including innocent halflings and the natural world itself. The choice of language and repetition drives home the seriousness of the situation and the urgency of Frodo's mission to destroy the One Ring.
Line by Line Meaning
Get the halfling!
We must capture the small, unsuspecting half-sized creature for our own gain and purposes.
Saruman! Saruman!
We pledge our loyalty to the devious and manipulative Saruman who will lead us to victory.
Fuck you, Gandalf!
We hold a deep grudge and hatred towards the wise and powerful wizard Gandalf who opposes our plans and goals.
Burn the trees down!
We must destroy the natural environment and all the creatures that inhabit it in order to further our own selfish desires.
