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.
MARS
Omnia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna shave off all my hair
Walk real stupid, talk real loud
I'm gonna make my mother proud
I wanna be a legionair
I'll wear a dress, but I don't care
An army camp is now my home
I'll kill and maim and rape for Rome
Pilum! (javelin)
Sin, dex, sin, dex!
The lyrics to Omnia's song "Mars" are quite interesting and lend themselves to interpretation on several levels. At the surface level, the song describes a person who wishes to become a legionnaire, someone who is a member of the ancient Roman army. The individual details the steps they would take to become a legionnaire, including shaving off all their hair and wearing a dress (which was a common uniform for Roman soldiers). The person seems to glorify violence and aggression, stating they would kill, maim, and rape for Rome, suggesting a deep-seated desire for power and influence.
On a deeper level, the song could be interpreted as a commentary on the dangers of blind patriotism and the glorification of violence. The individual's desire to become a legionnaire seems to stem from a desire to be seen as heroic and successful, rather than from a genuine commitment to the values and principles of Rome. The lyrics also suggest that the person is willing to sacrifice their own identity and personality to conform to the expectations of the army, which could be seen as a critique of the pressure to conform in many modern societies. Overall, the lyrics to Omnia's "Mars" are thought-provoking and complex, with multiple layers of meaning and interpretation.
