The Wheel

Lately I’m catching up on reading and listening to music. There have been so many beautiful words already been written. I think about it a lot; Do we still need to re-invent the wheel? Should we keep trying to improve it? Are my words adding any value to this globe? Since it feels it has/have been all said or written before. Even new reading material I come across I often find myself thinking “I’ve read that somewhere else already”, or  “hmm, wrote a similar piece”.

Is it important to write or say something unique? Or is it the person, what differentiates a similar piece of art? The intention someone express his/her thoughts, does that make it worthwhile reading and/or writing, even if it is a repetition?
Although I never have writers-block, since my brain-threads are always twirling and twisting, I am questioning the purpose of my own writing these days…

A wheel which has been written by someone else, and I copied the Dutch version in a post before, however -saddening as it is – I feel the need to post it again:

Artist: Guus Meeuwis – Song: Let me have that delusion

(Free translation, since I still struggle with some English words, I hope he doesn’t mind.)

I still think it’s possible

Everyone next to each other

Sometimes I dream about it

I’m not sure how to get there

Haven’t found the key

How it works, what it does

Unshakeable confidence

I believe it is possible

To build bridges

Sometimes I dream about it

Let me have that delusion

Let me have that delusion

Let me have that delusion

….

I see the shivers around me

Always that fear

It squeezes until it breaks

Maybe I’m a little naive

Or just unworldly

But I am so in love with it

There is so much beauty

In the small happiness

A greedy desire

Don’t break this desire

Let me have that delusion

Let me have that delusion

Let me have that delusion

…..

Unshakeable confidence

I believe it is possible

To build bridges

Sometimes I dream about it

Let me have that delusion

Let me have that delusion

Let me have that delusion
