Misþyrming Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

III. Ísland, steingelda krummaskuð

Grýttur, líflaus jarðvegurinn
svo langt sem augað eygir.
Hér mun aldrei neitt þrífast
eða vaxa.

Ógjöful en grimm
drottnar hér þurrðin
og við tekur dimm
eilíf nóttin.

Líf færist um set
og ætlar að frjóvga jörðina
en veikburða hörfar á brott
ut í leiðarlausu langferðina.

Hér mun aldrei neitt
þrífast eða vaxa.
Hér mun aldrei neitt
lifa eða dafna.

Ísland, steingelda krummaskuð...


III. Iceland, Castrated Dump

Gritty, lifeless soil
as far as the eye can see.
Here, nothing will ever prosper
or grow.

Unmunificent and ferocious
dominates the drought
and consequently ascends
the eternal night.

Life relocates itself
and aims to fertilize the soil
but weakened it retreats
back to the aimless odyssey.

Here, nothing will ever
prosper or grow.
Here, nothing will ever
live or flourish.





Iceland, castrated dump...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Misþyrming's song Ísland Steingelda Krummaskuð paint a bleak and desolate picture of Iceland. The first verse describes the land as "gritty" and "lifeless," indicating a barren and infertile soil that stretches as far as the eye can see. It suggests a lack of potential for growth and prosperity in this landscape.


Moving on to the second verse, the lyrics use strong and harsh language to emphasize the severity of the situation. The "drought" is personified as an oppressive ruler, cruel and merciless. The mention of the "eternal night" creates a gloomy atmosphere, symbolizing a perpetual state of darkness and hopelessness that hangs over the land.


The third verse introduces the concept of life attempting to thrive in this unforgiving environment. It "relocates itself" in an effort to bring fertility to the soil, but ultimately retreats, weakened and defeated. This reflects the challenges faced by inhabitants or any living beings in trying to sustain themselves in such an inhospitable place. The "aimless odyssey" suggests a futile and uncertain journey, lacking clear direction or purpose.


The final lines of the song reiterate the message that nothing will ever prosper or grow in this place, nor will anything live or flourish. The repetition emphasizes the inevitability and permanence of the desolation described. The use of the term "castrated dump" further emphasizes the feeling of impotence and lifelessness, as if the land has been rendered sterile and devoid of potential.
