Elden Ring Song Lyrics Are Apparently Gibberish

You might have been pumped up by a Elden Ring song that was played during a boss fight, specifically because the choral music contained lyrics about your heroic deeds.This story should be stopped. 

That’s because apparently, the lyrics in most Elden Ring songs are completely gibberish and void of meaning. This information comes from EurogamerReddit user Magister Orni was discovered by a student of Latin and his diligent attempt to translate the Elden Ring songs. Organi revealed that many of the lyrics in Elden Ring are gibberish. They even reached out and confirmed their findings to an Elden Ring music production.

“I am a Latin student, and I have been studying all Elden Ring choral songs,” Organi writes on the PlayStation 5 subreddit. “The first one I analyzed was ‘Song of Lament,’ not a boss theme, (a.k.a song of the bats) whose lyrics are indeed in Latin. Three months ago I reached out to the person who had written them. I was surprised when he said that those lyrics were his alone. Then I published those Latin lyrics and their translation at the time…and I was looking forward to finding another Latin song in Elden Ring.

“For that purpose, I contacted some music producers who worked in Elden Ring, and they confirmed that 99% of the lyrics in the game are not in any language at all and don’t mean anything.” 

Organi learned from the producers they spoke to that “the lyrics were computer generated and adjusted to sound like ancient languages.” This makes a lot of sense, especially given the overall theme of Elden Ring. Is it a bummer that those tracks I thought were about my Tarnished aren’t and are instead gibberish? Maybe, but that doesn’t make defeating Godrick or any of the other bosses while these songs play any less thrilling.
