you need to get back in that mindset.

forget about other artists, other music, who's better than who, heck, forget about quality. just make something that is an expression of what *you* want. if it's not about you, there's no soul. treat your song like an empty canvas, and try to imagine, "if nothing else matters, what do I really want to make?" and then have fun with it.

i think inspiration comes in waves.  i can relate to getting inspired with a new program and writing a song.  maybe a new program would work, just don't spend all your money. 

there are different ways to approach writing songs.  aside from types of equipment..  you can try just making patches one night, then the next session do melodies, or just drum beats.  that's a way to keep making music without needing to be "moved."  you can write songs like that, from a more project type approach.  and then, maybe take a break for a bit and then get inspired and one night you'll write a whole song, because all that would be good practice.  another thing is to listen to a different type of music than the one you want to make.  like listen to 70's rock and roll to get inspired for drum and bass or jazz and then go make trance music.
