SZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Release all my sins at the pulpit
It's the beginning
It's the beginning of my sermon
You hold my hand as an infant
Palms to the sky, "Adonai, Ya Allah"
'Til they all come down
'Til we all fall down, down
Lines drawn in the sand
Keep the sun at your back
Keep your feet firmly planted in the sky
Just ride
When you don't know yourself
If it hurts you to explain
You're God in my eyes
Just ride
Lines drawn in the sand
Keep the sun at your back
Keep your feet firmly planted in the sky
Just ride
Up here, the air is so thin
Mountains on my fingertips
(Ooh)
I stand at the tippy, screaming at the top of my lungs
Tears in my eye, eye, eyes
(Ooh)
Adonai, Ya Allah, answer my calls if you hear me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
Adonai, Ya Allah, answer my calls if you're near me (me, me, me, me, me, me)
Lines drawn in the sand
Keep the sun at your back
Keep your feet firmly planted in the sky
Just ride
When you don't know yourself
If it hurts you to explain
You're God in my eyes
Just ride
Lines drawn in the sand
Keep the sun at your back
Keep your feet firmly planted in the sky
Just ride
When you don't know yourself
If it hurts you to explain
You're God in my eyes
Just ride
It's the beginning
It's the beginning
It's the beginning
It's the beginning
The song "Omega" by SZA is a deeply reflective and emotive piece that explores themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and acceptance. The repeated phrase "Let the church say, 'Amen'" serves as a call for release, summoning listeners to let go of their burdens and offer them up at the pulpit. The lyrics "Lines drawn in the sand, keep the sun at your back, keep your feet firmly planted in the sky, just ride" evoke imagery of the desert and the idea of finding one's way through harsh circumstances. SZA sings of the connection between herself and a higher power, addressing both God and Allah in her prayer for guidance and understanding. By the end of the song, the repetition of the phrase "It's the beginning" suggests a sense of rebirth and renewal, as the singer embraces the unknown journey ahead.
Overall, SZA's "Omega" is a powerful and moving anthem that encourages listeners to let go of their fears and embrace the start of something new. It highlights the need for openness and a willingness to explore the unknown in order to find oneself and one's spirituality.

Tears in my eye, eye, eyes
Feeling emotional and overwhelmed

It's the beginning
Repeating the message that a new chapter has begun
It's the beginning
Emphasizing that change is inevitable and ongoing
It's the beginning
Reframing the journey as an opportunity to grow and evolve.
