| Women and snakes...perhaps. Or, given the title and all the biblical references, it gives a certain perspective to the last days of the Nazarene, especially concentrating on the relationship with Mary Magdalene. It seems like he's not wanting to leave her, but on the other hand, his path necessitates to take the cross. Both ways give him a life and a death: with Mary, he would be forced to let go of the holy path (hence "die"), but on the cross he's forced to let go of the human life (but gain a "divine life"). | |

Nietzsche it is, there's no doubt. While some parts might fit Darwin or others, the whole picture is clearly showing us the old walrus-moustached German. And it is a rather superficial interpretation of his thoughts, and certainly a Christian one; the survival of fittest / natural law, God killing, the intriguing thought about God/Heaven, sweetly singing angels etc...these don't really tell what Nietzsche's about, if you go deeper into his thinking. But then again, I guess the song's meant to be more about his mental breakdown than his core philosophy. |
