Omega
Stygma IV Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We the destructive force on our planet
We the spezies destroying the land
But now the time has come
To face our demise
It's in our blood that we take everything
The illness of nature a global disease

We are a plague

It's in our blood to devastate
The human plague
We are not willing to see what we are doing

We continue to dig our graves
And now the time is here
To face our demise

We are a plague
The illness of nature a global disease
The human plague
It's in our blood to take everything
Destroy everything

We have ignored all the warnings
Now nature is taking revenge
Fire water earthquakes and storms
Thunder lightning a new world is born
It's in our blood that we take everything
The illness of nature a global disease

We are a plague
It's in our blood to devastate
We devastate
We are a plague The human plague

It's in our blood to devastate
We devastate

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stygma IV's song Omega are a powerful commentary on humanity's destructive impact on the planet. The opening lines of the song acknowledge the fact that humans are responsible for the destruction of the natural environment. The words "We the destructive force on our planet, we the species destroying the land" succinctly express this idea. Instead of living in harmony with nature, humans have exploited the earth's resources ruthlessly, causing irreparable damage to the planet's ecosystems. The song goes on to highlight the fact that the consequences of this destruction extend beyond the environment. The lines "The illness of nature a global disease" underscore the idea that environmental degradation is affecting human health and well-being as well.

The chorus of the song is especially powerful. The repeated refrain, "We are a plague, the human plague," makes it clear that humans are responsible for their own destruction. Despite all the warning signs, humans have failed to take responsibility for their actions. The song references natural disasters like "fire, water, earthquakes, and storms" as evidence that nature is fighting back against humanity's destructive ways. Symbolically, these events represent the reckoning that is coming for humanity as a result of its actions. The song is a wake-up call for humans to take stock of their impact on the planet before it's too late.
