Internal Force
Eternus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you walk through the desert
And you can't find a way out
Your memories of life come to you
And you start to lose hope

The sun on you is the torture
And every minute turns into hours
You need to stay alive here
You must find your own force

Awake, stand up at dawn,
The goal is closer than you think
In your mind, have internal force

The sand turns into a path
Break the fate of death

Awake, stand up at dawn,
The goal is closer than you think
In your mind, have internal force
And live once again ...

Awake, stand up at dawn,
The goal is closer than you think
In your mind, have internal force

Scuta comburet lucem.
Poem mortis clamoribus
Silentium




Patientia
Poem vitae. fatum verum

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eternus's song "Internal Force" speak to the idea of persevering through difficult times. The opening lines depict a person lost in the desert without hope, and the harsh sun bearing down on them. The individual is facing their sense of mortality and their memories of life. The artist suggests that the only way to survive in this desperate situation is to summon one's inner strength. The chorus reinforces this message of inner resilience; "In your mind, have internal force, and live once again."


The second verse paints an image of the desert transforming from a harsh, barren land into a path toward freedom. The lyrics convey a sense of transformation as the persona moves from a state of hopelessness to one of empowerment. The Latin phrases scattered throughout the song add an extra layer of meaningfulness. For example, "Scuta comburet lucem" roughly translates to "Shield the burning light," which suggests the idea of staring directly at the thing that causes us discomfort and pain, and being able to face it head-on. The final Latin phrase "Poem vitae. fatum verum" translates to "Poem of life. True fate." which may speak to the idea that one's life is like a poem, and that there is a true, inevitable path that we must follow.
