about

: Nomad, is a song that is open to interpretation as either a narrative of a literal ‘nomad’ or as a metaphor of one whose journey is akin to that of a nomad. The song holds themes of not belonging to a single location, perseverance, moving on, pain, loss, vengeance and yet finds space for hope. The narrator, who might be the ‘nomad’, symbolizes ‘hope’ as “a rare flower on a cactus” and finally enlightens with advice to the audience/listener, “If birds can fly so can you”. The band has self-labelled the Song’s genre as a mixture of Oriental Grunge and Progressive Rock. The mesmerizing verse with its narrative and elements of mixed sub-genres, defines the song’s character, followed by an uplifting chorus that gratifies the much-needed revival of Rock aggression and attitude with an Oriental twist.

lyrics

Nomad

I could have sworn I saw an Angel,
I knew I had to go on,
I know this journey will never end,
This journey will go on…

We have left the smoke, behind us
All we remember
Once our eyes
They watered

Let the sand take back and hide our traces
We know poetry is enough for us
Just like a sailor drawn to the sea,
You know we have our own ground too
Just like a rare flower on a cactus,
We’ll find our oasis too,
A parallel inner and outer silence
If birds can fly so can you!

We have left the smoke, behind us
All we remember
Once our eyes
They watered

Every mote has its own story,
It sings only and only of loss

While taking influence from a diverse and broad set of genres, SOP manages to find its own voice and build its unique but relatable sound. The band was founded by foreigners living in Jeddah. ... more
