Lyrics:
billet spied
bolt sped
across the field
crows fled
aloft and wounded
left one dead

lover killer
at the wall in the mirror

on the one side I can dream my future
on the other I can feel my nature

inside myself I have a moment to choose
to hold or to refuse
to shoot or to let loose
the cawing crow the pulsing throat

lover killer
at the wall in the mirror

on the one side I can dream my future
on the other I can feel my nature

I am a lover and a killer

My Brightest Diamond, "Lover/Killer"

Lyrics:

Girl plays guitar, because she loves that song,
and she dreams one day, she’ll be someone,
She plays that song ten times a day,
Not caring what, her neighbours say,
Her idle sings on night tv,
Which is where she sees, her life to be,
Her inner drive amounts the pressure,
It heaps on burden - must do better,
She tries and tries , then finds herself,
a life of fame, and worthy wealth,
She plays her song on night tv,
And now she’s where, she'd longed to be,
but through this time, her idol sank,
he threw his fame, he scored, he drank,
He lost a lot along the way,
but now he’s strong and back to play,
He plans again to be someone,
and on his wireless, he hears a song,
The song it changes everything,
inspiring hope, and highs in him,
The song was written by a girl,
She lives her life, but she bares her soul…

She had changed what's next because she took a deeper breath,
and he had learnt that who he was could change.

Who we are can change.

Full Circle Influence

"I dream of better days" - A philosophical song in search of meaning I wrote some days ago - inspired by Viktor Frankl. Frankl, born in 1905 as the son of a Jewish civil servant family, wrote down his experiences and interpretations of life in the concentration camp in the book "...say yes to life anyway". Frankl: If you have a why to live, you can endure almost any how."

Even though so much may seem meaningless today, a victorious "yes" is cheering you from somewhere. A victorious "yes" is the event of meaning. Meaning must be found - it cannot be created. Purpose is an event that makes us say "yes" to life despite everything that is happening. We need to regain sense of purpose. It may be necessary to say goodbye to the traditional. - Let's dream of better days. - Love, Gert (Video supported by canva.com)

"Ich träume von besseren Tagen" - Ein philosophisches Lied auf der Suche nach dem Sinn, das ich im vergangenen Jahr geschrieben habe - angeregt von Viktor Frankl. Der 1905 als Sohn einer jüdischen Beamtenfamilie geborene Frankl schrieb seine Erfahrungen und Deutungen des Lebens im Konzentrationslager in dem Buch "...trotzdem Ja zum Leben sagen" nieder. Frankl: Wer ein Warum zum Leben hat, erträgt fast jedes Wie."

Auch wenn heute so Vieles sinnlos erscheinen mag, von irgendwoher jubelt Dir ein sieghaftes "Ja" zu. Ein sieghaftes "Ja", das ist das Ereignis des Sinns. Sinn muss gefunden werden - er kann nicht erzeugt werden. Sinn ist ein Ereignis, das uns trotz allem, was passiert, "Ja" zum Leben sagen lässt. Wir müssen wieder Sinn für den Sinn gewinnen. Dafür mag es nötig sein, sich von Althergebrachtem zu verabschieden. - Lasst uns von besseren Tagen träumen. - Alles Liebe, Gert (Video erstellt mit Unterstützung von canva.com)

I dream of better days

I'm sitting on the floor - I look at the last few days.
Nothing is as it was.
The friends are long gone or died.
I've lost my fun.

I feel down, down, down - sad. In a way, I'm leaving my old life.
I feel down, down, down - I create distance for a new time.

I dream of better days. Common goals that we have pursued.
Birds sang in the garden, melodies of solidarity and peace.
A long long time ago.

I feel down, down, down - sad. In a way, I'm leaving my old life.
I feel down, down, down - I create distance for a new time.

I look up to the sky. I'm looking for meaning.
Nothing is as it was.
People run and waste their days.
On the way to happiness.

I feel down, down, down - sad. In a way, I'm leaving my old life.
I feel down, down, down - I create distance for a new time.

From somewhere, a victorious "Yes" is cheering you on.
A victorious "yes" - that is the event of meaning.
It is an event that, despite everything, makes us say "yes" to life.

What is important, what isn't?
What is essential, what is not?
What makes sense, what doesn't?
If I don't get it anymore, then I'll stay:
down, down, down - sad. In a way, I'm leaving my old life.
I feel down, down, down - I create distance for a new time.
