Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space. Time travel could hypothetically involve moving backward in time to a moment earlier than the starting point, or forward to the future of that point without the need for the traveler to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Any technological device – whether fictional or hypothetical – that would be used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine.
Although time travel has been a common plot device in science fiction since the late 19th century, and the theories of special and general relativity allow methods for forms of one-way travel into the future via time dilation, it is currently unknown whether the laws of physics would allow time travel into the past. Such backward time travel would have the potential to introduce paradoxes related to causality, and a variety of hypotheses have been proposed to resolve them, as discussed in the sections Paradoxes and Rules of time travel below.
And i looked back upon my back
Through my book of memories
Thinking of all the things
That i used to do
How i missed it so
So secure in their arms, in their arms
No harm, no distractions, always laughin’
Oh i do love to see
One day, one time, a reunion of what was
[Refrain]
I want a place to stay
Somewhere far away
[Chorus]
If i could be away from me
Then i would be with you
If i see the way from way from me
I’ll play safe for me and you
If only, if only
Picture this, walking down this dark alleyway
There’s a sunset up ahead, silhouette of buildings
Enclosed in a maze
And as the hands of time, it ticks away
In a subtle but righteous way
I try to find more peace
I try to stand at ease
Cos we’re runnin’, runnin’, runnin’
In no direction
