Týr - Unwandered Ways

Copied!

Unsilenced strings
Sound a wanting and inadequate song
Unwieldy wings
Wake a daunting singalong

Unwasted words
Weep for meaning in resentment and wrath
Unbounded birds
Black, convening on the path

Unwandered ways
Wait outside the gate
Lost and late
Undying days
Vast, present to past
Fade so fast
Unwandered ways

Wind through mountains
And meandering miles
Unproven praise
Proves a fountain for my trials

Bridges unburned
Beckon lost and lawless
Far though they roam
Endings unearned
Ease exhausted outcasts home
Unwandеred ways
Wait outside the gatе
Lost and late
Undying days
Vast, present to past
Fade so fast
Unwandered ways

Unwandered ways
Wait outside the gate
Lost and late
Undying days
Vast, present to past
Fade so fast

Unwandered ways
Wait outside the gate
Lost and late
Undying days
Vast, present to past
Fade so fast

Unwandered ways
Wait outside the gate
Lost and late
Undying days
Vast, present to past
Fade so fast
Unwandered ways
Lost and late
Fade so fast
Unwandered ways

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Unwandered Ways" by Týr is a haunting and introspective song that explores the themes of lost opportunities, untaken paths, and missed chances. The lyrics speak of unsilenced strings and unwieldy wings, creating a sense of longing and inadequacy. The song delves into the idea of wasted words and unbounded birds, reflecting on the search for meaning amidst resentment and wrath. The imagery of unwandered ways waiting outside the gate, vast undying days fading fast, and meandering miles through mountains paints a picture of a journey left unexplored and unfulfilled. The song's melancholic melody and powerful vocals capture the essence of regret and the passage of time, making "Unwandered Ways" a poignant and thought-provoking musical experience.

Biography

edit bio

Týr is a power metal band hailing from the Faroe Islands, known for their unique sound and thematic focus on Norse mythology and Viking culture. The band was formed in January 1998 when Heri Joensen met Kári Streymoy at a party in Copenhagen, Denmark. Despite initial reluctance, Streymoy eventually agreed to join Joensen in forming the band, with bassist Gunnar Thomsen soon joining the lineup.

The band takes its name from Týr, the Norse god of justice, and their music is heavily inspired by Norse mythology and Viking traditions. In the early days of their career, Týr released their debut album "How Far to Asgaard" through the Faroese label Tutl. However, it was their album "Eric the Red," dedicated to Erik the Red, that caught the attention of Napalm Records, leading to a distribution deal and international recognition.

Throughout their career, Týr has toured extensively across Europe and the United States, sharing the stage with bands like Ensiferum, Eluveitie, Turisas, Moonsorrow, and Korpiklaani. They have released several acclaimed albums, including "Ragnarok," "Land," "By the Light of the Northern Star," "The Lay of Thrym," and "Valkyrja."

In 2012, Týr signed a contract with Metal Blade Records, further solidifying their place in the metal music scene. Their album "Valkyrja," released in 2013, tells the story of a Viking warrior who meets his demise in battle and is escorted to the afterlife by Valkyries. The album features covers of songs by Iron Maiden and Pantera, showcasing Týr's unique take on classic metal tracks.

With their distinctive sound and powerful storytelling, Týr continues to captivate audiences around the world with their epic tales of Norse mythology and Viking lore.
