Eternal return (also known as "eternal recurrence") is a concept which posits that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. The concept is found in Indian philosophy and in ancient Egypt and was subsequently taken up by the Pythagoreans and Stoics. With the decline of antiquity and the spread of Christianity, the concept fell into disuse in the western world, though Friedrich Nietzsche resurrected it as a thought experiment to argue for amor fati.
In addition, the philosophical concept of eternal recurrence was addressed by Arthur Schopenhauer. It is a purely physical concept, involving no supernatural reincarnation, but the return of beings in the same bodies. Time is viewed as being not linear but cyclical.
The basic premise proceeds from the assumption that the probability of a world coming into existence exactly like our own is finite. If either time or space are infinite, then mathematics tells us that our existence will recur an infinite number of times.
Eternal return to the hatred
You can’t deny what ever is this
Bound to fulfill our destiny
Just close your eyes and leave none behind
None
No regrets as you’re ok my friend, no regrets
No regrets for the blood that we’ve spilled no regrets
Once you’re in it, no way out
You cannot run from your self
No way out [x2]
Meaningless
Senseless
There’s no other way don’t pray for a saviour
The answer within, within you.
The life that you’ve killed, the life that you’ve
inhale
The answer within, within you.
As higher as deeper the fall
Burn them all to feel the warmth
Of the innocents souls that we’ve slaughtered
Just close your eyes and leave none behind
None behind [x2]
No regrets as you’re ok my friend, no regrets
No regrets for the blood that we’ve spilled no regrets
Once you’re in it, no way out
You cannot run from your self
No way out [x2]
Meaningless
