It's an Omen
It's an Omen
Now!
The writing's on the wall
It won't go away
It's an Omen
You just run on automation
Now!
The writing's on the wall
It won't go away
It's an Omen
It's an Omen
It's an Omen
Now!
The writing's on the wall
It won't go away
It's an Omen
You just run on automation
Now!

The Writing's on the wall

The repeating chorus of "It's an Omen" in The Prodigy's song is a haunting reminder throughout the track that no matter how much one tries to escape their problems, they will always be looming in the background. The opening lines "The writing's on the wall, it won't go away" sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's a call to attention, a warning that something big is coming, but it cannot be avoided.
The idea of running on "automation" highlights the sense of feeling trapped and almost powerless to change one's circumstances. The repetition of "now" throughout the song creates a sense of urgency, that time is running out and action must be taken. The distorted electronic sounds and heavy bassline add to the ominous feeling of the track, making it clear that this is not something to be taken lightly.
Overall, "Omen" is a song that captures the feeling of being trapped and overwhelmed, while also serving as a warning that we cannot simply ignore our problems, as they will always come back to haunt us.
