Omen
The Great Discord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sorry...
How convenient
For me
Delicious, enticing
Vicious, frightening
It was all just smoke
Longing for something different
Lost track of what is real
Drowning in your zeal
I've come to understand that it's all too late for me
Soulless and hollow hearted
Better dead than in despair
You are everywhere
I've come to understand that it's all too late for us
If I go, you follow
Our demons are shallow
The Omens
Point to our rapture
Oh, make you believe it
And I know, I've seen it
There's nothing left
Of the attraction
Longing for something different
Lost track of what is real
Drowning in your zeal
I've come to understand that it's all too late for me
Soulless and hollow hearted
Better dead than in despair
You are everywhere
I've come to understand that it's all too late for us
Loging for something different
Lost track of what is real
Drowning in your zeal
I've come to understand that it's all too late for me
Soulless and hollow hearted
Better dead than in despair
You are everywhere
I've come to understand that it's all too late for us
The lyrics of "Omen" by The Great Discord entice the listener to interpret the song in a few different ways. The singer apologizes, but in a way that shuts down further conversation by saying, "how convenient for me." The word "delicious" implies something that's either literal or metaphorically a treat, but it's quickly followed by the word "vicious," which is a jarring contrast. The lyrics address a feeling of being lost and drowning in one's own zeal, leading to the realization that it's "all too late" for the singer and perhaps even for "us." There is a sense that there's an attraction to something, and it's now gone, but the implication is that there was little substance to begin with, as even the strongest of attractions disappear.
The chorus mentions "our demons" and "shallow omens" which imply that the two are somehow connected. The use of the negative word "shallow" also points to the idea that the omens are a facade. The "rapture" mentioned in the chorus is generally understood as a religious event that brings souls to Heaven, which is a striking contrast to the despair mentioned earlier in the song. Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of hopelessness, which is amplified by the strong imagery and dark language.
