Confusion
R.M.Wimmer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meet me on the moon very very soon
Meet me on the stars Jupiter and Mars
Fly me to a star
Burning out in space shining on my face

Fly me through the night on your Silver Wings
Over crystal seas Valleys of the Kings
By the lilac shore where the dragon flies
In the diamond skies

Silly Silly Confusion
And tangle of wild illusion
We're living in a wonder world of fantasy
We spent all our times in sweet living dreams

It's a Silly Silly Confusion
Like a flower of wild profusion
You can do the things in life
You always wanted to
Within your heart you know it always will come through

Take me for a ride in your Dream-Machine
To a time and place where no one has been
Let me look upon worlds I've never seen
In your Dream-Machine

Fly me to a star burning out in space
Let me feel the light shining on my face
Sail on solar winds sail on silver birds
Through the universe

Silly Silly Confusion
It's a Silly Silly Confusion

Silly Silly Confusion
It's a Silly Silly Confusion





Silly Silly Confusion
Silly Silly Confusion

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of R.M. Wimmer's song "Confusion" are a call to escape from the mundane and to explore the vastness of the universe. The singer invites their listener to meet them on various celestial bodies, from the moon to Jupiter and Mars. They crave the excitement of flying through the stars, feeling the light of burning stars on their face, and gazing at unexplored worlds from a dream-machine. This desire for adventure is juxtaposed with the line "Silly Silly Confusion" which reoccurs throughout the song. These words serve as a reminder that, while fondly romanticizing the excitement and possibility of space travel, the singer knows that their pursuit is ultimately futile in reality.


The lyrics of "Confusion" are evocative of the psychedelic culture of the late 1960s and 1970s. The surrealism and whimsy present in the text reflect the themes that were common during this time period. Additionally, the song possesses a strong sense of escapism and a yearning for unbridled exploration. These sentiments are also prevalent in the counterculture movements of the era. Overall, "Confusion" is a song that encourages the idea that the universe is an open canvas for exploration and adventure.

Our numerous requests weave a web of unbelievable fantasies which, no matter how appealing, are unattainable.

Our thoughts are so deeply consumed by these fantasies, that we've spent all our time living in a world of imagined possibilities.

Our many flights of fancy are like an overgrown wildflower, in that they're numerous, colorful, and have become a bit out of control.

[Verse 1]
Everywhere, the sun is shining
All around the world, it's shining
But cold winds blow across your mind

[Chorus]
Confusion (Confusion)
It's such a terrible shame
Confusion (Confusion)
You don't know what you're saying
You've lost your love
And you just can't carry on (Can't carry on)
You feel there's no one there
For you to lean on (To lean on)

[Verse 2]
Every night, you're out there, darling
You're always out there running
And I see that lost look in your eyes

[Chorus]
Confusion (Confusion)
I don't know what I should do
Confusion (Confusion)
I leave it all up to you
You've lost your love
And you just can't carry on (Can't carry on)
You feel there's no one there
For you to lean on (To lean on)

[Verse 3]
Dark is the road you wander
And as you stand there under
The starry sky, you feel sad inside

[Chorus]
Confusion (Confusion)
You know it's driving me wild
Confusion (Confusion)
It comes as no big surprise
You've lost your love
And you just can't carry on (Can't carry on)
You feel there's no one there
For you to lean on (To lean on)

[Outro]
Confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion...

Out of all of the millions and trillions of songs I have listened to through 60 odd years, this song is most definitely in my top ten favourites.
