Lyrics
Time travelling is selfish
It only benefits the person who travels back in time
You cannot go back and write a wrong
And assume that everything will course correct itself in the future
And everything will be perfect
This isn't Bill & Ted
This isn't Quantum Leap
If you go back in time then you simply cease to exist
In this world at least
Time travelling is selfish
Hypothetically speaking if you were from "Timeline A"
And you travelled back to 1920
And shot Hitler in the face
When you returned back to the future
You may have changed history for the better
But you are now existing in a new timeline
"Timeline B"
Time travelling is selfish
But everyone in "Timeline A" still exists
And everything that happened still happened
And the only thing that is different is that
You no longer exist in that timeline
You now solely exist on this branch of reality called "Timeline B"
And both realities are running parallel alongside each other
So what about everybody else?
Time travelling is selfish
Everything that happened in "Timeline A"
Up to the point of you travelling back in time
Still exists as you carry it across with you
And it can never be removed from you
Because it made you, you
And it made you go back in time in the first place
And change things
And so changing it will either erase you or
Wipe out all of existence
Or you won't even be aware that anything bad ever happened
But the likeliest of scenarios is that you're creating fractures
And doubling the amount of suffering
For every single person in both versions of this planet
It's just selfish
Time travelling is selfish
Yes, you may be sharing this new timeline
With another version of you
And yes, they may look exactly like you
And everyone you know may or may not exist
But the universe is far too chaotic and
Every single thing is a lottery of random magnitudes
And so the chances of you being born the way you currently are
Are 1 in 400 trillion
So it stands to reason that
Creating any form of quantum interruption
Then meeting the same version of yourself
In another timeline is basically ludicrous
You're most likely a different gender
Different height, different face
The only thing that will remain is that you now have to carry
Two separate histories of pain and
Horror
And human suffering
Time travelling is selfish
