This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
""A name uttered with fear No smile no tears They'll crush your skull with a blow And pile them in a row The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds In a smithy high up in the skies On an anvil of honour with a hammer of blood The Four Winds pounded Battle Battle Metal! Battle Battle Metal! Battle Battle Metal! Battle Battle Metal! As the battle rages the dearest to you you hold in your hand And stick in their lungs! Battle Battle Metal! Battle Battle Metal! An iron gaze of a hawk Out of sight they stalk Their arrows cut the air as they fly Death from the sky Thunder in their eyes A riding demise Storming over the men on the field Breaking their shield Take this sign into your heart and be brave Let it lead you to your glory or your grave Today! Hear me my warriors Soldiers from all the edges of the world Let us join our forces To an army united Four winds will guide us The Heart of Turisas will lead our way Our drums echo: Forward march Our horns cry for victory Boldest of them all They've answered the call Their arms were strenghtened by the work of their swords They'll march till they fall The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds In a smithy high up in the skies On an anvil of honour with a hammer of blood The Four Winds pounded""

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This song got a far greater reaction than they were expecting when they wrote it.
Warlord's policy is that they don't do bullshit fantasy about dragons and whatever because it has no substance, but the stuff he writes about is real and has meaning.
Here's what I was looking for:
"A remake of "The Heart of Turisas" - a song we had already on our demo 2001. Even if the demo hasn't reched too many people compared to who'll be listening to this, it still would have felt kind of stupid to just clone that old song . Also, growling trough the whole song on the demo felt pretty boring and monotone to me, so on this we put in some clean(er) vocals on the verses. A pompous Turisas-hymn so to say."
Agreed right there.
Haha, maybe!
One of the greatest metal songs i've ever heard, and by far my favorite Turisas song.
