Søren Kierkegaard
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (/ˈsɔːrən ˈkɪərkᵻɡɑːrd/ or /ˈkɪərkᵻɡɔːr/; Danish: [sɶːɐn ˈkʰiɐ̯ɡ̊əɡ̊ɒːˀ]; 5 May 1813 – 11 November 1855) was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christendom, morality, ethics, psychology, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment. He was against literary critics who defined idealist intellectuals and philosophers of his time. Swedenborg,Hegel,Goethe,Fichte, Schelling, Schlegel and Hans Christian Andersen were all "understood" far too quickly by "scholars".
Kierkegaard's theological work focuses on Christian ethics, the institution of the Church, the differences between purely objective proofs of Christianity, the infinite qualitative distinction between man and God, and the individual's subjective relationship to the God-Man Jesus the Christ, which came through faith. Much of his work deals with Christian love. He was extremely critical of the practice of Christianity as a state religion, primarily that of the Church of Denmark. His psychological work explored the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices.

Crack My Heart
by: Josephine CollectiveWill you be my darling?
I have become the cold floor lately
Without much, I'll lay and wait
And I'm a white car in the wake
Of your endless mourning
So tell me who's afraid of change
Yeah, they will tell you we're the same
But you know I treat you different
You're my pretty, pretty princess
Girl, you know it
Now that I'm gone
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
I'll kill him
Held my brush to his head
Said I'd paint this whole town red
Crack my heart and spill it
Were you crying baby?
Were you surprised to find me waiting?
Cause I had half the nerve to leave
And then I lost the will to breathe
Now I'm choking on this
I'm choking, look at me
Now that I'm gone
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
I'll kill him
Held my brush to his head
Said I'd paint this whole town red
Crack my heart and spill it
And spilled it
And spilled it
And spilled it
Oh, can we
Take a second, please
To breathe
Oh, can we
Take a second, please
To breathe
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
I'll kill him
Held my brush to his head
Said I'd paint this whole town red
Crack my heart and spill it
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
