iskandinav mitolojisindeki asgard tek a'lı olup tanrıların mekanıdır ve gardiyanı da Odin'in oğlu Thor'dur. göbekli vokalimiz johan hegg bir röpörtajında şarkı hakkında şunları söylemiştir:
First of all, it's not very mythologically correct, because the guardian of Asgard is Thor. I mean, that's the way it is. But we had this idea that we wanted to do a song with LG Petrov from Entombed, so we made it into two guys, and we sing together.
Technically, in the lyrics, it's me and LG Petrov who are the Guardians of Asgard. I also use a reference to Entombed, when I sing, “marching down the left-hand path,” which is the first album. You know, stuff like that. It's meant to be just a cool party song. But when we do it live, it's more kind of trying to reach out to fans and say, “You are fans of this music. You enjoy the mythology. You learn stuff about this. You are a Guardian of Asgard, too, because you carry the knowledge on.”
In a deeper meaning, to pass the knowledge on to someone - even if I said I don't want to preach and I don't want to teach. Still, if you have the knowledge, if you learn about it and then pass it on, you are a Guardian of Asgard. That means the knowledge will never die out. Technically, you are probably a better Guardian of Asgard than I am. Ha! As I said, it's not meant to be a super-deep song or anything. It's just meant to be cool lyrics.
Sonuç olarak grup bu şarkıda mitolojik doğrulardan çok cool bir hava yakalamaya çalışmıştır.
