If you have never read Kafka (like myself), then the lyrics are a lot to unpack with this one. Tatiana had this to say about the lyrics, which helped me a lot with context: “Being an artist is sometimes beautiful but most of the time it’s brutal… as our art is dissected word for word and ripped apart note by note, we‘re expected to be on point all-the-time … and when we aren’t, we are scandalized. A true artist is vulnerable but the crowd is most often plagued with vultures who pick at every single move you make. It’s a slippery slope when music means the world to us but how quickly praise turns into prosecution… We are all Kings and Queens for a day but most of the time it feels like a Kafka novel for a lifetime. It‘s exciting but surreal and absurd at the same time …”
Lol nice proggy jazz death metal banger😂😂........deep insightful lyrical poetry from tati based on themes from franz kafka's novella "The Trial".
Jinjer doing Kafka doing Jinjer is very deep.

Never mind his life, did you notice when he died?
Both Absurdism and Existentialism are invoked. I'd say that "Das Nichts" is a reference to Heidegger.
If????? the song relates to writer Kafka, I think it would be about his writings and not him.
Coughing blood would be him.
