Train of Thought Absolut Absolem 🎭 Absolut Absolem – a musician who lost his mind in 2020 🤯 and turned it into a voice 🎤. He tells a story of thoughts 💭 lined up like wagons 🚃🚃🚃, endless, restless. Is it the train into the labyrinth 🌀🚇? A detour ❌? A shortcut ⚡?🎶 The music speaks. 🗣️ The voices speak. 🚂 The thoughts arrive – or drift away 🌫️.✨ We decide. Whether to board 🚪, to get lost 🧩, or to find freedom 🔓 in the rhythm of the rails.Perhaps this train is only a shadow 🌑, like in Plato’s cave 🕳️, where people mistake projections 🎥 for reality. But whoever dares 💪 to leave the tunnel 🚇, whoever takes the step out of the prison of perception 🚪➡️🌞, will see: The shadows are not the truth ❌. The truth lies in the light 🌞, beyond the walls 🧱, beyond the tracks 🚂, beyond the labyrinth 🌀.
