Elden Ring's Gibberish Songs Reportedly Inspired By Miyazaki's Childhood
It has already been confirmed that almost all of the music you can hear in Elden Ring means absolutely nothing. As for why FromSoftware wanted that to be the case, the answer to that question could well lie in something its creator Hidetaka Miyazaki did as a child.
Magister Organi is the Latin student responsible for confirming pretty much all of the music in Elden Ring is computer-generated gibberish.

He only understood half of the words and had to fill in the story gaps with his imagination,” Organi explains.

Especially since a producer previously revealed to Organi that the boss fight music in Elden Ring is there to enhance the drama and experience, not to add to its lore or fill in gaps in its story. That has seemingly been left for the player to do.
