Tear me to bits enjoy the scene
Of screen name verbal vanity
Churning the words imbued in filth
Your tongue oily water under my bridge

You have the world, it's all for you
I wish you'd find the lost in you
Grateful for the pain, it proves we're alive
Can you feel it?

I can't make you want the truth
It's up to you

Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope

Feed me to pigs in your fantasies
Your sea roars bitter elegies
Like Narcissus who bribes the pool
A hollow voice, ruin with a roof

Stop! Life is now, still all for you
Turn from the hate, turn from the smoke
I see the parchment of your soul
The notes, the song
Join your voice

I can let you have the world
It's all for you

Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope

Yours is an
emp-ty hope
Yours is a
dying love

I can let you have the world
It's all for you

Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope

Why should we ever have expected decent behavior from a morally deficient being who hasn't had a proper job for decades, and who profits from the myth that there is any such thing as intellectual property? (There isn't. Neither "music" nor "journalism" nor "web design" are actual productive work). The song is about the "horror" of non-fans using the medium of the internet to express themselves authentically. Tuomas, like any celebrity (or any religious person, or, tragicallly, most non-white persons of a certain age), believes he is part of some special elite above the rest of the human race, deserving of protection from authentic expression of other peoples' opinions (which they can designate "hate speech"). What's at the root of what we're witnessing here? Arrogance, or timidity, or megalomania, or all three? It doesn't matter. What we know we're witnessing is advocacy of censorship. Censorship is nothing to do with governments, censorship is "anyone at any time attempting to police someone else's self-expression". It is inherently "dehumanizing" in a way that no act of violence is.

You don't know nothing you're talking about, totally crazy comment by someone who probably believes in libertarian utopy. Thinking is also an act, something created by a group using the mind to be sold is a propriety of that group, when you build something physical you also use intellect for it. you don't know how music, religion, journalism and many other things work, and you don't know anything about many other things you talk about with arrogance and presumption, the only indecent person here is you, with your autistic robot-like ancap nerdy souless racist sh*t.
