Based in Yorkshire, UK, she and her ragtag group of miscreants (well, Jack and sometimes other people) somehow create some presentable sounding video game and nerd culture music covers. Jack does the clever techy bits that makes whatever 'music' Freya comes up with sound good - he's the brains behind the operation. Freya stays up until 5am playing games and googling herself until she comes across Last.fm's artist page for her music, so here we are.

Freya Catherine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We drink to our youth to the days come and gone
For the age of oppression is now nearly done
We'll drive out the empire from this land that we own
With our blood and our steel we will take back our home

cll hail to Ulfric you are the high king
In your great honor we drink and we sing
We're the children of Skyrim and we fight all our lives

cnd when Sovngarde beckons everyone of us dies

But this land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean
Of the scourge that has sullied or hopes and our dreams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Freya Catherine's song "Age of Oppression" touch upon themes of rebellion, unity, and reclaiming one's homeland. The song begins by alluding to nostalgia for the past ("we drink to our youth to the days come and gone") but also acknowledges the end of a period of oppression ("for the age of oppression is now nearly done"). The singer expresses a strong desire to drive out the empire from the land they consider their own and to regain their home using their blood and their steel.

The lyrics also pay homage to Ulfric, addressing him as the high king and toasting in his honor. The mention of "Sovngarde" refers to the Nordic afterlife in The Elder Scrolls, where warriors are expected to go after they die in battle. This ties in with the idea that the people of Skyrim, identified as the children of Skyrim, are willing to fight their entire lives and face death to defend their land and honor.

The final lines express the determination to cleanse their land from the scourge that has tarnished their hopes and dreams. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for overcoming the oppression and regaining their freedom and aspirations.

Overall, "Age of Oppression" captures the spirit of resistance and determination of a group of people who have been oppressed and are now rising up to reclaim their land and fight for their ideals.
