Text do indeed feel heavier I have to agree. Words as so much more than what they appear to be. We observe the same symbols, although the meaning attached to them varies. This might not be a big issue during mundane situations such as: "I want an apple". However the more abstract we become the more we glimpse the infinity.
Also it's quite problematic when deciphering others sentences. The data I end up with, or the picture if you may, could be completely different from that which was intended. I find that often words are in the way, because of their lack in genuine meaning. It's like we're growing out of the old finite framework and entering a place where our language seems like a childs game.
From every word, a list of definitions can be derived. And from there sub-definitions are found. If you keep digging you'll end up with a bunch of very vague and general bits, which I would not qualify as true communication.
The language is like a game in many ways.. A cage resulting in a veil.
