Aidus

I managed to find out the meaning of the title of the tragic which is Proto-Celtic *aidus & translates to 'fire'. "We are strong, we are brave, we are free, we are bold" is the translation for the opening lines of the song 'Immos nertācī · immos exsobnī · immos riī · immos segī' Source: EdwardHatfieldLinguist (facebook) As for my own interpretation for the meaning of the song, this seems to be about the need to be free from all chains from any organized establishment of enforced rule. The lyrics even mention martial law which involves the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule, usually invoked in time of war, rebellion, or natural disaster. The essence of this track is I believe the need to be unrestricted, to be able to be as one chooses to be & to live as one wishes. Furthermore, the lines speaks of an uprising, awakening & change to come. This can take on various meanings within this context alone, but the specific one is one the band's founding Member 'Chrigel Glanzmann' mentioned in relation to 'Aidus' is that they're "We're longer a “Pagan Metal” band. We are metal music playing pagans, from all our hearts, meshing principles of our modern societies with our ancient message." So this track could be speaking of the awakening within the band to their new realization of self perhaps. Chrigel also went on to comment; "It’s the sheer consequence of our spiritual journey with Ategnatos (their 2019 album): we’re no longer a “Celtic Metal” band… a metal band singing about Celtic history. We’re Celts playing metal music from all our hearts."
