Song Meaning of “Inanis Venter” by Eths
‘Inanis Venter’ by Eths is about the struggle for love and acceptance. The narrator is in a situation where someone they are romantically interested in is not reciprocating their affections – this person has an “inanis venter”, or an “empty stomach”. Despite their advances being met with rejection, the narrator has not yet given up hope of gaining the unrequited person’s affections, possessing a “burning burn” for them that won’t die. The narrator expresses their feelings of despair and frustration at this situation, but also speaks of their deep-seated determination not to give up on their quest to make the other person love them. In the chorus, the narrator pleads with the object of their affections to open up, hoping that if they do, they will be able to fill up the other’s “inanis venter”. Ultimately, this song is about the ache of unrequited love, but also about not giving up, even when the odds seem against you.
