The text is based on a sentence by Nietzsche: "Thought are the shadows of our emotions, always darker, emptier, simpler than these."
And I think it's an interesting point of view to get our thoughts as an "light version" of our emotions and furthermore, the point that our thoughts are influenced by our emotions. What a lot of people actually would deny and who claim rationality as THE condition for a senseful life (whatever that means).
But without emotionality the most complex and intellectual thoughts are nothing.
THEY ARE JUST EMPTY CONSTRUCTIONS.
And the worst thing is, that many people, also in so-called or claimed left subcultures, are conceited because of their knowledge of theories and who don't see that you won't change anything without to interact with the people in your environment. Which is impossible without showing empathy and emotions.
lyrics
" gedanken sind die schatten unserer empfindungen, immer dunkler, leerer, einfacherer als diese "
friedrich nietzsche - die fröhliche wissenschaft
streife ab diese hüllen
vermeintlich organischen materials
sich doch um dich legend,
metallen gleich
fang doch endlich an zu fühlen, denn ohne dies
ist dein wissen noch weniger wert.
