about

Heidegger sang the blues too not only when he was forced to hard labor after Germany lost the War but, also in his despair of a technological age, in which thought had seemingly failed as if terrorized by the abandonment of meaning, If Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God, Heidegger managed to see over the precipice of that absence into a future in which only a god can save us.

lyrics

The departed gods are not completely departed
and the present ones not fully here
yet the poet remains on the trail of those absent gods
and through language draws them near,
re-ensouling the world of ordinary things
outside the circulation of technology

Poetically dwells the human
though difficult to conjure the name of... God
or to orient oneself toward death..... as it draws nearer
by clearing a path toward Alethia
relocating Dasein’s
unconcealment of Being in Time

Anxiety in the face of thinking
forgetting into an oblivion of being
at the end of an age where thinking has failed.
terrorized by the abandonment of meaning
but, where there is danger
so the saving power also must
but “only a god can save us” (1)
