Omen (feat. Sam Smith)

[Produced by: Disclosure]
[Verse 1]
I'm feeling something, something different
When you left, my picture changed
I was blinded, I'd not envisioned
The same face in a different frame
[Pre-Chorus]
It's an omen, caught my baby crying
Saw the silver lining
It must be an omen
Needed you to show me, without you I am lonely
[Chorus]
My mind would rule my heart
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart
But now I see your tears as an omen
[Refrain]
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen
[Verse 2]
You were waiting, I was vacant
You left before my eyes
Then it hit me, you're relocating
And I need you by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
It's an omen, caught my baby crying
Saw the silver lining
It must be an omen
Needed you to show me, without you I am lonely
[Chorus]
My mind would rule my heart
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart
But now I see your tears as an omen
My mind would rule my heart
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart
But now I see your tears as an omen
[Outro]
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen
(Woah, now love)
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen
(I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark)
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen
(But now I see your tears as an omen)
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen
(Now I see your tears as an omen)
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh

Saw the silver lining
It must be an omen
Needed you to show me, without you I am lonely
[Chorus]
My mind would rule my heart
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart
But now I see your tears as an omen

Omen (feat. Sam Smith)
Released in 2015 on the album Caracal, 'Omen' is a standout track by the British electronic duo Disclosure, featuring vocals from Sam Smith. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of deep house rhythms and emotive, atmospheric production that defined the mid-2010s UK sound. With its soaring chorus and intimate delivery, the recording captures a moment where electronic dance music seamlessly integrated with soulful pop sensibilities. The collaboration with Smith, who had already achieved massive success with 'Latch', further elevated the track's emotional resonance, making it a defining piece of the era's progressive house and electropop landscape.
