yeah, easy metaphor here. jotuns were the giants in norse mythology, which were comparable in strength to the norse gods. it is said in norse mythology that they will imminently be the source of the ragnarok (apocalypse.) it even goes deeper than that. these giants will bring about said ragnarok by destroying the tree of life, a source of all nature you could say. this song is a brilliant metaphor emphasizing not only the danger and horror of modern expansion, but also the imminent doom the destruction of nature will bring about.
