Omen
Root Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(The tones of mystery)

I see a shape - or is that a mere hallucination? -
As rocking on me and from their eyes trickle the bloody tears,
I hear a whisper of lifeless lips, it calling me on into the depth,
I am going away with it, awake in the empire of dead,
I hear words, out of one's graves arising a legends of dead dreams,
listen in with me to tales, which once were truth




Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Root's song "Omen" describe a scene of eerie mystery and hallucination. The singer sees a shape, but cannot be sure if it's really there, and observes tears coming from the eyes of this phantom entity. The voice of the dead calls out to our narrator, beckoning them to join in the "empire of dead." The lyrics suggest a vision of the supernatural, with the dead rising from their graves to speak of their dreams and legends.


As the song progresses, the singer listens to the tales of these dead dreams and ancient myths. The lyrics are rich with symbolism and allegory, conveying complex ideas about the nature of life and death. The themes of the afterlife, resurrection, and the power of memory pervade the narrative, as the singer listens to stories of gods and men in the throes of existential struggle.


Overall, "Omen" is a haunting, evocative song, steeped in dark themes and mysterious imagery. It invites the listener into a world of dreams, myth, and the unknowable mysteries of the afterlife.


Line by Line Meaning

I see a shape - or is that a mere hallucination?
I am uncertain if the figure I am observing is an actual manifestation or just a figment of my imagination.


As rocking on me and from their eyes trickle the bloody tears
The apparition sways towards me while blood-colored tears flow out of its eyes.


I hear a whisper of lifeless lips, it calling me on into the depth
The sound of a voice with no life emanates towards me, compelling me to journey into the darkness.


I am going away with it, awake in the empire of dead
I am following the entity to the land of the deceased where I am wide-awake.


I hear words, out of one's graves arising a legends of dead dreams
From the tombs, I hear tales of dreams that have been buried with the dead, now brought back to life as legends.

Join me in hearing stories that were once factual but now only exist in the realm of mythology.
