I believe that the 'wind' is a metaphor alluding to depression, because a lot of the imagery is of something sad or bad coming over on someone (dog set on wheel, laughing at you, raven is dead builders who hide). It could either be an extended metaphor, the whole song, about seasonal depression or bipolar disorder and the depression that is comes with it (damn me this wind it's still moving on in...).
I feel like it's a reasonable interpretation that makes a lot of sense on the song itself, if not even just on my own personal level. But even so it's notable to mention that many people who are artists and creative struggle with bipolarism and depression, and despite there being an unknown link it's undisputed in the medical and psychological field that there is a correlation.
i think this is quite a good explanation actually, im pretty sure the tallest man on earth is swedish and they get a lot of seasonal depression up there because of the endless days in summer and nights in winter. also the 'damning' of the wind seems to be more to do with depression than the life cycle as it is being damned for 'getting into (someone's) soul'
