In an interview, Kjartan said that after writing the song, they discussed what they though it meant, and all came to the same conclusion. Coming from the band it's basically the story of an old man looking contentedly out over his fields and land, knowing he's going to die soon. He knows he will die, but accepts it's inevitability and has no fear or regret.
As the last line says, he lolls his head, content. Such a fitting ending to an album, the calm death of an old man who is happy with the long life he has lived.
