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.

Live Show Intro
Omnia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When all the world has gone to sleep
The hunters to the forest creep
From out 'the wild wood comes the call:
"The hunt is life ... the hunt is all ..."

An ancient forest beckons me
To run skyclad amongst the trees
My lusty spear, it cannot wait

The gentle deer to penetrate

Cernunnos, Lord of Beasts, he grunts:
"Come join us for the Wylde Hunt! ..."

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Omnia's song Live Show Intro paint a vivid picture of a hunter's call to arms, beckoning to the wild heart within. The opening line, "When all the world has gone to sleep," sets the stage for the rest of the lyrics, implying a sense of darkness and quietude. The hunters are not content to remain asleep or stagnant; instead, they come alive in the forest, seeking their prey with a fervor that is both primal and passionate.

The refrain, "The hunt is life ... the hunt is all ...," captures the essence of the hunters' mission, suggesting a deep sense of purpose and meaning in their pursuit. The reference to an "ancient forest" and running "skyclad" invoke a sense of primal instinct and connection to nature, while the use of the word "lust" to describe the hunter's spear lends an erotic undertone to the lyrics.

The mention of Cernunnos, the Lord of Beasts, adds a mystical and mythological element to the song, aligning the hunters with a rich tradition of wildness and nature worship. The invitation to "join us for the Wylde Hunt" is both a challenge and an invitation, a call to step outside of the humdrum of everyday life and embrace the untamed spirit within.

Line by Line Meaning

When all the world has gone to sleep
As the world rests in slumber

The hunters to the forest creep
They venture into the woods with stealth, poised for prey

From out 'the wild wood comes the call:
A beckoning from the untamed forest itself

"The hunt is life ... the hunt is all ..."
The Act of the Hunt is everything, it sustains and defines us

An ancient forest beckons me
A primeval forest summons me

To run skyclad amongst the trees
To embark on a hunt unclothed, a primal and liberating act

My lusty spear, it cannot wait
My eager spear anticipates a quarry

The gentle deer to penetrate
The gentle creature sought for sustenance and survival

Cernunnos, Lord of Beasts, he grunts:
Cernunnos, guardian of wild animals, leads with a grunt

"Come join us for the Wylde Hunt! ..."
Join us for the untamed, wild hunt!
