Lyrics
Sadistic
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I cannot believe what I do not understand
(It's just impossible to believe what I don't understand)
Understanding and belief should be connected
(understanding is the prime condition to faith)
Thouse who don't get it yet believe are hypocrites
(those who do not understand yet say they believe are
hypocrites,
anything which is beyond the limits of human reason is illusion,
illusion, illusion)
You have done me no service no you have not helped me
(all you did was confuse but not enlighten my mind)
Therefore I owe you not gratitude but hatred
(nature is vice as much as it is virtue, maybe everything
derives from one first cause Or:a trillion times as much as it
might mean to you, ...
in which there is neither reason nor wisdom, nor wisdom)
It is amusing to see to what extravagent length
(man has taken fanaticism and imbecility to)
Excesses so unspeakable, unbearable
(the catalog of aberrations is invariably fascinating to
contemplate, all we need from morality is contained in those
words; make others happy as you yourself would be, and serve
them in the way that you would yourself be served, the sole
requirement is a good heart, a good heart, a good heart)
