This song has a mix of both soft rock, R&B, and ballad with a soft, dark, depressed melody and is written from Ominous's perspective. It tells you about his self-loathing and modest but usually serious and vigilant personality, dark backstory, and his hatred on the evil of everyone in the omniverse and beyond, as well as him thinking that he's the one who can fix it.
Background

Lyrics
Verse 1
- You don't know who I am
- A dark, somber mistake (mistake)
- A demon within
- I'm filled with sins...
- In every choice I make (every choice I make)
- But if I could spread my power...
- And rectify everything (everything)
- Then, maybe then
- I could begin...
- To change it all within (within)
Chorus 1
- Far beyond the scale of life itself
- I can see it all within
- Conflict and pain
- I must explain...
- That we all are filled with sins
- It has to stop, it's time to change
- Then we can all be free
- I'll take my chance
- With no consequence
- Still, why does this feel so Ominous?
Verse 2
- Deep within my background
- Lies a shadow of who I was (who I was)
- Repressed memories
- Only I can see...
- Cruel tyranny (tyranny)
- Helping out the big bads
- A mistake I cannot hide (I cannot hide)
- Caught by the mighty
- And now you see...
- The darkness I have inside (I have inside)
Chorus 2
- Far beyond the scale of life itself
- I can see it all within
- Conflict and pain
- I must explain...
- That we all are filled with sins
- It has to stop, it's time to change
- Then we can all be free
- I'll take my chance
- With no consequence
- Still, why does this feel so Ominous?
Bridge
- I don't care how or when
- This isn't the time for laughs
- I've got to save the day
- No matter what it takes
- To change everything
