mrduckygoosy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What's an "Emenius Sleepus" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What's an "Emenius Sleepus" ? Always saw it meaning something like "sleeper enemy." The song is about meeting up with a friend who's turned bad, so sleeper enemy (or someone who's behavior is activated given a certain event) would refer to this friend who's suddenly changed. Additionally, the narrator of the song changes too. "Not very long ago I was just like you." Maybe the friend was the sleeper agent that fueled the narrator to change his behavior. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, I knew the meaning of the song but I've never seen "emenius" as a distortion of the word "enemy" ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't joking, that theory is bollocks. Emenius Sleepus is just bastardised Latin nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrduckygoosy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I wasn't joking, that theory is bollocks. Emenius Sleepus is just bastardised Latin nonsense. Yeah but "sleepus" comes obviously from "sleep", no ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It's a Mike song But yeah. It's not remotely Latin in any way. Pretty sure it's meant to sound like Latin though, like a fake Latin phrase. Mike got asked this question not that long ago, but annoyingly he ignored the fact that the question was about the song title and just said what the song was about instead. I think he might've done that more than once actually so seems doubtful he'll explain it. But I think Lukie's right about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
