I think what impacted Enya the most about the Latin inscription on the home was its sad irony. (translated as "The journey ends here") Whoever put those words there meant them to say, "Your search is over. You've found the perfect home." Instead, events put a completely different meaning to it: "This is the home you will die in."
That seems to be the reason for the sense of dread and foreboding, capturing her last days and her death in the first and last halves of the song.
