Movies: Doc Brown

written 1.12.2010 - 3.3.2011

Yesterday, I was sitting here
And suddenly, I had a strange idea
I reached for some paper and a pen
Before I would forget it again
I wrote down the exact time and date
Followed by my hallway's coordinates
Finally, above the things I wrote
An underlined big sentence as a note

Travel back to this scene
When they invent the time machine

Behind the time I wrote a small +5
To control the moment I arrive
Just recall the film with Michael Fox
We don't want to cause a paradox
I pasted the note into a book
In which I would occasionally look
Feeling as excited as a kid
I closed my eyes and let go of it

The noise of an explosion
Followed by sudden silence

Hello, hello
Anybody home?
Hello, hello
Anybody home?

Those moments of weakness I try to hide
Fear of the future, not willing to decide
If I don't hold onto the present day
The tide of progress will sweep me away

From the hallway I heard someone shout
I recognized the voice without a doubt
But between his loud words I could sense
The subtle sound of fading confidence
'Though I still asked myself how could we
Play a trick on relativity
I gradually began to understand
That science fiction came true in the end

I opened the door
And introduced myself to me

Took a walk around my future self
Checking out my shape and state of health
Whispering words of Old Doc Brown again
Look at me, I'm an old man
I excitedly chewed on my thumb
When he told me 'bout the days to come
I could also tell you what he said
But I don't want to burst your bubble yet
