Norse mythology

[stardrowned]

I'm doing a literary analysis on the entire Whoracle album, but I'm having some problems interpreting the lyrics.

Jotun (Jötunn, in Norwegian) is a giant in Norse mythology. Though what I want to know is whether this "character" resides on the good or bad side. Is it just a pitch-black figure that stands here and there? This is what the lyrics say, considering Jotun being a symbol for these huge buildings:

"I often dream of huge numb buildings
jet-black sinister architecture
being installed when nobody sees
Their appearance so sudden
that few would take notice

And when I wake up
I imagine being crushed by one
imagining its weight its silence
and the absence of excuses for a havoced life
and the privilege of a 22-kilometre tombstone"

Thanks in advance!

Jotun might be an adjective, not a noun in this context. If you want to do an interpretation don't use literal translations.
