According to the band's official website, ellende is derived from a Middle High German word meaning "unclaimed wilderness", "misery" and describing the uneasy feeling of uncertainty of the emptiness and distance within onself. This Middle High German expression "ellende" can also mean "foreign country", "exile" or "solitude."
