Odi et Amo
Omnia Lyrics

The lyrics “odi et amo, quare id faciam, fortasse requiris, nescio sed fieri, sentio et excrucior” in Omnia’s song Odi et Amo convey a sense of emotional turmoil and complexity in the singer’s feelings towards a loved one. The phrase “odi et amo” translates to “I hate and I love” which represents contradictory emotions, an internal struggle between love and hate. The singer seems to be battling with their feelings towards the person they love and are conflicted about whether to embrace or reject those emotions. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of this contradiction yet is unable to resist the pain and torment of being in love with someone who can also elicit feelings of hate.

The next lyric “quare id faciam” which means “why do I do this” shows that the singer is questioning their own emotions and the reasons behind their reactions. They are attempting to understand why they continue to love someone who also brings them pain. The following line “nescio sed fieri” which translates to “I do not know, but it happens” further emphasizes the singer’s confusion and inability to comprehend their own emotions. Finally, the line “sentio et excrucior” meaning “I feel it and I am tortured” captures the emotional torment and anguish that the singer feels as a result of their conflicting emotions.
