The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
Eine Gestalt lag auf dem Boden
so bösartig, dab die Blumen um sie herum
verwelkten
eine dunkle Seele lag auf dem Boden
so kalt, daß alles Wasser sich in Eis verwandelte
Ein Schatten fiel über den Wald
als des Gestalts Seele dahinwelkte
denn des gestalts Seele war ein Schatten
ein Schatten der Kräfte des Bösen.
so bösartig, dab die Blumen um sie herum
verwelkten
eine dunkle Seele lag auf dem Boden
so kalt, daß alles Wasser sich in Eis verwandelte
Ein Schatten fiel über den Wald
als des Gestalts Seele dahinwelkte
denn des gestalts Seele war ein Schatten
ein Schatten der Kräfte des Bösen.

Norwegian:
*Note: "skikkelse" is a figure or a shape of something you can't quite make out or identify.
* The translation might look a bit clumsy, but it's written in a bit strange but awesome way in Norwegian as well. So I'll just try and translate it like it is written originally.
En skikkelse lå der på bakken
så vond at de blomster rundt visnet
en dyster sjel lå der på bakken
så kald at alt vann ble til is
En skygge da falt over skogen
da skikkelsens sjel visnet bort
for skikkelsens sjel var en skygge
en skygge av vondskapens makt
A shape/figure lay there on the ground
So foul that the flowers around died
A dismal/lugubrious soul lay there on the ground
So cold that all water turned to ice
A shadow then covered the forest
When the figures/shapes soul withered away
Because the figue/shape was a shadow
A shadow of the power of evil.
I'm not going to give my interpretation, but I think the translation is decent (better than google translate at least). I Hope it's help full.
