Lyrics Infinite Regression - Quantic
Here
is
the
painting
of
a
landscape.
But
the
artist
who
painted
that
picture
says,
- Something
is
missing.
What
is
it?
It
is
I
myself
who
was
a
part
of
the
landscape
I
painted.
So
he
mentally
takes
a
step
backward
- Or
'regresses'
--
and
paints...
...a
picture
of
the
artist
painting
A
picture
of
the
landscape.
And
still
something
is
missing.
And
that
Something
is
still
his
real
self
Painting
the
second
picture.
So
he
'Regresses'
further
and
paints
a
third...
...a
picture
of
the
artist
painting
a
Picture
of
the
artist
painting
a
Picture
of
the
landscape.
And
because
Something
is
still
missing,
he
paints
a
Fourth
and
fifth
picture...
...until
there
is
a
picture
of
The
artist
painting
a
picture
of
the
Artist
painting
a
picture
of
the
Artist
painting
a
picture
of
the
Artist
painting
the
landscape.
So
infinite
regression
is
It
is
the
moment
when
our
artist,
Having
regressed
to
the
point
of
Infinity,
himself
becomes
a
part
Of
the
picture
he
has
painted
and
Is
both
the
Observer
and
the
observed.
Well,
in
that
peculiar
condition,
What
would
he
be
observing
if
he
were
observing
Time?
He
would
perceive,
Mr.
Bonds,
that
Time
is
like
A
freeway
with
an
infinite
number
of
'Lanes'
All
leading
from
the
past
Into
the
future.
But
not
into
the
Same
future.
A
driver
in
Lane
'A'
May
crash,
while
a
driver
in
Lane
'B'
Survives.
It
follows
that
a
driver,
By
changing
lanes,
can
change
his
Future.
Mr.
Bonds,
i
think
that
time
can
Fully
be
understood
by
an
observer
With
the
Godlike
gift
of
infinite
Regression
Do
you
believe
that?
Absolutely!
I
think
it
is
the
only
explanation.
