4. An unsigned English Heavy Melodic Instrumental band which formed in 2000.
Opus formed in early 2001 and debuted a year later with their 6 track (non-instrumental) EP Questions. After a year and a half of touring in and around London and supporting bands such as The Datsuns, Kid Galahad and The blueprint Opus decided to perform an instrumental one off show in their local area Frimley. Much of their set was improvised and the band played their set with total belief in what they were doing that night. From that day Opus have only ever performed instrumental sets.
In 2004 they went on to record their self-titled 30 minute long, one song self-released EP OPUS. They have since gone on to develop their distinctive style of heavy, yet melodic instrumentation and have been working to create new material. Sample Aura is the bands 3rd studio EP and was released on 10th March 2006. They recorded a free track called Antipathy which could be downloaded from their official site.
Their influences can be found in artists such as Tool, Mogwai and King Crimson.

Opus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't seem good to me
I don't wanna change my life
Rollin' off, don't take it too easy
Time is runnin' fast
You can't control yourself, livin' in the past
Nobody cares
It doesn't matter what you do
You can come and follow me
No one's coming to admit you
Nothing to see
It doesn't matter what you do
You can come and follow me
Going on the same old way
Doesn't seem good to me
Life is not for here to stay forever
Rollin' off, don't take it too easy
Time is runnin' fast
You can't control yourself, livin' in the past
Someone's standing outside the line
Nobody cares
It doesn't matter what you do
You can come and follow me
No one's coming to admit you
Nothing to see
It doesn't matter what you do
You can come and follow me
Got a tip for a lifetime
Doesn't seem good to me
I don't wanna change my life
Rollin' off, don't take it too easy
Time is runnin' fast
You can't control yourself, livin' in the past
No one's coming to admit you
Nothing to see
It doesn't matter what you do
You can come and follow me
Someone's standing outside the line
Nobody cares
It doesn't matter what you do
You can come and follow me
No one's coming to admit you
Nothing to see
It doesn't matter what you do
You can come and follow me
The song "Follow Me" by Opus is about living life to the fullest and not being afraid to take risks or step outside of your comfort zone. The lyrics suggest that there is a tip for a lifetime, but it doesn't seem good to the singer. They do not want to change their life, but they realize that life is not permanent and they need to make the most of it while they can.
The chorus of the song encourages listeners to follow the singer, even if they are standing outside the line and nobody else seems to care. The song suggests that there may be no one coming to save them or admit them, but they can come and follow the singer, and it does not matter what they do.
The repeated line "rollin' off, don't take it too easy" emphasizes the importance of taking risks and not being too cautious in life. The song suggests that time is running fast and we cannot control ourselves by living in the past. The overall message is one of living in the moment, taking risks, and not being afraid to follow your own path.
