Gene Wilder
Wandering in 2020: A Melodic Quest for Connection
Lyrics
I thought I'd call the eye doctor since I haven't seen you around
I express surprise at not seeing you and consider checking my vision.
Because I've been looking everywhere; even called the lost and found
I've searched extensively, even resorting to lost and found, to find you.
I said, "What seems to be the problem doc?"
I inquire about the issue and seek professional advice.
And you'll never believe what he found...
The eye doctor makes an unexpected revelation.
He said, "It's still 2020 dear, just take a look around."
The doctor implies that the problems persist in the present, referring to the challenges of 2020.
Dear Gene,
A direct address to Gene, possibly someone significant, initiating a personal message.
I hope you're wilder
An expression of a desire for Gene to be more adventurous or unrestrained.
Dear Gene,
A repetition of the desire for Gene to be more uninhibited, possibly referring to a changed personality.
Is your world quieter without me?
Wondering if Gene's world is calmer without the speaker's presence, suggesting a possible separation or change.
I called a Craiglist hypnotist who said she could put me to sleep
I seek a hypnotist's help to find peace, possibly influenced by thoughts of the person (Gene) being addressed.
Because although I'm an insomniac maybe you're still in my dreams
Despite being an insomniac, the speaker acknowledges the presence of the addressed person in their dreams.
She put me right to sleep but I didn't see anything...
The hypnosis is not successful, and the year 2020 is mentioned again as a challenging time.
She said, "It's still 2020 dear I wouldn't bet your luck on me."
The hypnotist warns against relying on luck during the difficult year 2020.
Dear Gene,
A repeated expression of a wish for Gene to embrace a wilder nature.
I hope you're wilder
A repetition of the desire for Gene to be more uninhibited, possibly referring to a changed personality.
Dear Gene,
Again, questioning if Gene's world is more peaceful without the speaker.
Is your world quieter without me?
Reiteration of the idea of a potential separation or change in the relationship.
Because lately, I've been laying around and I've been going over things
I reflect on my situation, spending time contemplating recent events.
And I am perfectly capable of walking both sides of the street
I claim the ability to navigate different aspects of life without issues.
And if there is nothing wrong with you then there is nothing wrong with me
Asserting that if the addressed person is fine, then there shouldn't be any problem with the speaker.
Because lately, I've been laying around and I've been going over things
Reiteration of spending time contemplating recent events.
And I am perfectly capable of seeing what we could have been
Expressing the ability to see the potential of the relationship and what it could have become.
But if there was nothing wrong with you then there is nothing wrong with me
If there's no issue with the addressed person, there shouldn't be any problem with the speaker.
And if there is nothing wrong with you then there is nothing wrong with me
A repetition emphasizing that if there's no issue with the addressed person, there shouldn't be any problem with the speaker.
