IV
TEL Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[1º VERSO] - blue

sopra vento, dos quatro horizontes
tire-me desta terra
e me leve aos montes

mostre o caminho de fogo, que tu trilhas
resolva o mistério

da vida após vida

[DEDILHADO]

{REFRÃO} - blue

mostre o caminho
secreto de valhalla
mostre o caminho
onde odin não destruiu tudo com suas malditas pragas

[2º VERSO] - Leon

a cor do sangue
que escorre de mim nesse chão tão nu
é totalmente diferente
do que eu estou acostumado a ver

em um instante,
valkirias me levam a um castelo ao sul
e eu sinto que esse ambiente
emana uma força e um total poder

isso é valhalla
o coração de asgard

{REFRÃO} - leon

mostre o caminho
secreto de valhalla
mostre o caminho
onde odin não destruiu tudo com suas malditas pragas

{REFRÃO} - Blue e Leon

mostre o caminho
secreto de valhalla

mostre o caminho
onde odin não destruiu tudo com suas malditas pragas

In TEL's song "iv," the lyrics serve as a reflection on the desire to escape the limitations of earthly existence and enter a mythical realm called Valhalla. The song begins with the singer expressing a yearning to be taken away from this earth and brought to the mountains, seeking a higher plane of existence. They ask for guidance in finding the path that leads to Valhalla, a hidden and sacred place untouched by the destructive forces of Odin. The mystery of life after death is pondered upon, hinting at a greater understanding that lies beyond this mortal realm.

As the song progresses, a shift in perspective occurs as the second verse is sung by another character named Leon.
