Текст песни: Infinite Regression + перевод

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
