Music is meaningless, all meanings are the creatures of mind (sounds trivial, I know, but still true). Human sense of mortality forces us to create meanings as a protection from nothingness. Longing for meaningless is, therefore, longing for immortality, which (maybe) won’t exist, but the longing still makes sense.
The aimless
meandering
seemingly pointless
end up somewhere
hungry, thirsty, lost
not caring much
less or full
a drop of water
a speck of cheese
crumb of bread
another day
maybe
just
less or full

Is that really what it all means? Sehnsucht means doomed forever in this life? Never getting what one longs for? If this is actually Blixa who reads this, I have a question for you; if one day all of your longings, aching, unspoken wants and desires (even unbeknownst to you) were suddenly found or happened, then what? Is the longing what drives everything in our insomniac, nearly insane bodies to relax and sleep and find happiness? Would we then feel sehnsucht for being sensucht again? I ask myself this every day, and of course, I don’t know! If I knew, I would will it. It’s a nightmare, isn’t it? I love my nightmare. I hope it always stays with me because happiness is not always the number one priority, there are other things more important. The few moments in life I can honestly say I felt profound happiness, it was always followed by a panic to long for the chase of it once more. I think people confuse this with depression, although it can be depressing, it is not the same. It is more complicated and unsolvable. What do you think?

Bedeutungslose Musik wäre unerhört.

Gefällt.
M Punkt
Sang und klanglos
Ein Klang
ohne Belang
ist wie
ein Herz
ohne Schmerz
Der Klang
sucht
taube Ohren
Der Hunger
sucht
den Magen
Das Blinde
sucht
das Licht
Der Tropfen
sucht
das Meer
ein Herz
sucht
–
Dich
