Shiva Shambho from Modern Japa by Chris Cornelius

This transformational Hindu chant, set to a fun, contemporary western musical arrangement, seeks to align one with the dimension of what could be called "higher consciousness".
The name Shiva (Siva) has a few different interpretations in India.
In Southern India, in non-dual or advaita spiritual traditions, "Shiva (Siva)" is another name for the ultimate Source of all and everything, called in Sanskrit, "Brahman".
Here is the meaning of the words in this chant from a more advaita perspective :

Om (AUM) - Designates the Infinite Source of All.

Namo - Bow to, salutation.

Bhagavate - One who is Divine or blessed.

Shambho - Relates to Shiva as the auspicious one, the Source of bliss/happiness, benevolent and kind, who liberates one into higher consciousness.

Rudra - A form of Shiva as a transformative or cleansing force.

Shiva Shambho - Together, these words call down the great being of Shiva Self from beyond our egoic dimension.

Mahadeva Shambho - Mahadeva is another name for Shiva and together with Shambho means "Great God, the auspicious one".

Parvati (Uma, Gauri) - The Divine consort of Shiva. She is the embodiment of Shakti, the recreative energy and power of Shiva the Source.

Rudray - An invocation to Rudra, the purifying form of Shiva.

So to chant or sing these words is to bow to and invoke the inner transformative power of our deepest Self called Shiva/Shakti, the auspicious One, and with cleansing Rudra, to purify our minds and lift our awareness to the Ultimate Reality of Infinite Bliss/Happiness.
