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"
Aldrig skall alder förtvina eller sälta sina spar
Ni ska dit varken sol eller måne når
Där sang blir till klagan och stratt blir till grat
Där smarta är evig och dagar är år
Nastarnds ormar som spyr blod och etter
Skört är slottet men stark är min ruin
Kräla ur min boning, lämma min gård
Av asar och alfer som här inne äro
Ingen I ord är din vän
Likstrandens ormar som spyr blod och etter
Ni som blint trampar Draugs harg
På knä I Eljudne mottag död mans dom
Mot död och helsvite, ert öde och pinoplats
Bärsärkargång mot de dödas helgedom
Hammare och stål skall urkraften väcka
I björnskorta mot Draugs harg
Mö nidingapestens veka nacke knäckas
Hrungners dräpare skall dig till dädsriket skicka
Långt under likgrinden ned
Mot död och helsvite, erat öde och pinoplats
Långt under likgrinden ned
Draugs harg, långt under likgrinden ned
Ni ska dit varken sol eller måne når
Där sang blir till klagan och stratt blir till grat
Där smarta är evig och dagar är år
Nastarnds ormar som spyr blod och etter
Skört är slottet men stark är min ruin
Kräla ur min boning, lämma min gård
Av asar och alfer som här inne äro
Ingen I ord är din vän
Likstrandens ormar som spyr blod och etter
Ni som blint trampar Draugs harg
På knä I Eljudne mottag död mans dom
Mot död och helsvite, ert öde och pinoplats
Bärsärkargång mot de dödas helgedom
Hammare och stål skall urkraften väcka
I björnskorta mot Draugs harg
Mö nidingapestens veka nacke knäckas
Hrungners dräpare skall dig till dädsriket skicka
Långt under likgrinden ned
Mot död och helsvite, erat öde och pinoplats
Långt under likgrinden ned
Draugs harg, långt under likgrinden ned

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Translation I found:
Draugr's Altar
Never will age wither or make its markings You are going where neither sun nor moon can reach Where song turns into lamentation and laughter into tears Where pain is eternal and days are years Where honey turns into salt in your wounds
Nastrand's worms who vomit out venom The castle is fragile but my ruin is strong Crawl from my dwelling, leave my homestead �Of the Aesir and Elves who dwell in here No one is your kinsman�
The Corpse Shore's worms who vomit blood and venom You who blindly trample Draugr's altars On your knees in Eljudne, receive a dead man's judgement Towards death and hell, your fate and place of torment
Berserkergang against the dead's sanctuary Hammer and steel shall awaken the ancient power Bear-shirt (literal meaning of berserk) against Draugr's altar May the nithing pole's weak neck be broken
"Hrugnir's slayer will send you to the Kingdom of the Dead Far below the Gates of Death, deep down" Towards death and hell, your fate and place of torment Draugr's altar! Draugr's altar! Draugr's altar! Far below the Gates of Death, deep down
