Many meditations use sounds (mantras), sometimes words that represent big thoughts (Love, Truth, God), and sometimes just simple sounds. Using basic sounds with rhythm penetrates the mind and redirects the flow of thoughts to allow something new to come in, such as thoughts that break our normal., narrow, confines and fears, to help elevate us. The words come from many traditions, and can be in many languages. For example, a simple English mantra is: "I am, I am". Rather than words that you make up (because you want to go beyond your own patterns and affirmations), what is needed are sounds or words that provide a taste of the state you want to be in.
Even if the words and language of a given mantra is unfamiliar to you, they are not about chanting to something, or some god that you don’t know. Chanting is a energetic act that changes your brain, stimulates hormonal balance, and engages you in a special type of communication with your own mind, about truth and clarity.
