'Fury'
‘Fury’ is a testimony following the aftermath of Alex Omen’s broken relationship. It talks about the regret, disconnection, and fall apart that come with the healing process. The lyrics symbolize that shift that comes when love fades and grows darker, changing to resentment and anger - making the reality of love’s tightrope clear as day.
Omen acknowledges his own flaws through lyrics like “I gotta change my ways” and “I don’t even know my name, I don’t even know his place.” He takes the listless, lost confusion that comes with the transition of love to loss and channels it into a rediscovery of self.
The song's core revolves around not knowing this person anymore and the painful realization that someone who was once Omen’s world has become a stranger. This is a story that most people can relate to as the lyrics trigger that feeling of starting over and mourning what once was. Omen’s transparency throughout the notes of the song is nothing short of admirable to the listener.
"This song is me sitting with all of those emotions–confusion, anger, sadness–and just letting them pour out. It’s eerie because it’s like grieving someone who’s still alive, but they’re no longer the person you knew."
— Alex Omen on ‘Fury’
‘Fury’ is a song that foreshadows its emotional depth right off the bat from the first chords. Omen’s vocals are striking with an obvious layer of autotune that manages to please the ear and fight against the stigma that autotune tends to carry in the minds of music lovers. In this case, it gives Omen’s music an edge that amplifies the song further.
The beat speaks for itself in being equal parts captivating and catchy. It boasts an upbeat tempo that will get you bopping but simultaneously has a bass that will hold you down and add weight to the song and the profound lyrics.
