Með vættum tells of a woman, Þórunn, born on the north coast of Iceland. During her life, she travels around the island from north, to east, to south, to west. As she does so, she grows older and dies. On each coast she must fight a battle against enemies coming in from sea. She acts as a guardian to the island. In each battle she is aided by a wight, of which there are four traditional versions in Icelandic mythology: vultures from the north, dragon from the east, giant from the south, and a bull from the west, as well as wraiths on the sea all around the isle.
The protagonist was named after the daughter of the band's keyboard player, Gunnar Ben. Songwriter Snæbjörn likes to use names for the characters which are familiar to him and to which he has some connection.[2]
