Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Gladiator" by Lisa Gerrard do not have a clear meaning as they are written in a fictionalized language that is not meant to be understood literally. However, the language used adds to the overall emotional and atmospheric effect of the song itself. The words used are intended to be evocative and generate a sense of emotional intensity that mirrors that of the movie "Gladiator" that the song is featured in. The lyrics are used to convey the inner thoughts of the characters in the movie and reflect their struggles and triumphs in a poetic and abstract way.


The song begins with the phrase "Anol shalom," which is often translated to mean "peace be with you." From there, the rest of the lyrics follow a similar pattern of fictional phrases and atmospheric sounds that add to the overall intensity of the music. The song does not have a conventional structure, and it is meant to be more of an experience than a traditional song. The intense and passionate vocals from Gerrard only add to the emotional intensity of the track.

@@user-ux1im8he3i Occult music of the illuminati? I'm not as conversant as you are with Illuminati stuff, but I am with Lisa Gerrard's music.

Quite easy, in fact, to Google either Lisa Gerrard or Idioglossia, and why her idioglissiac lyricism brings her closer to her God, rather than to your Illuminati.

"Gerrard sings many of her songs, such as "Now We Are Free" [Gladiator], "Come Tenderness", "Serenity", "The Valley of the Moon", "Tempest", "Pilgrimage of Lost Children", "Coming Home" and "Sanvean" in idioglossia.

"With respect to such work she has said, "I sing in the language of the Heart. It's an invented language that I've had for a very long time.

"I believe I started singing in it when I was about 12. Roughly that time. And I believed that I was speaking to God when I sang in that language."

@windbreaker57

@@user-ux1im8he3i in case you still dont understand, what I'm saying is your comment that the song is "an occult music used by the illuminati", or now impliedly but by extension, a "satanic" piece of music is as ignorant and lazy piece of assertion easily answered by a little Googling. Make it easier on yourself, click the link I posted above and be educated some.

Gladiator is a masterpiece. But it would be much less without this song. After 20 years I still get goosebumps every time I hear it.

@jimcieri8988

And it wouldn't be the same without Lisa.

@rexbarclay7360

Amen

@jessicapalmer5073

Yes!
