Forwards Backwards, Future’s Past is a paradox wrapped in melody, a song that exists both in the present and in reverse, mirroring the way time moves in every direction yet always feels like it is pulling us forward. This track is one of the most complex and thought-provoking pieces on Timeless, bending the listener’s perception of past, present, and future into a single, inescapable reality.

The song begins with a haunting whisper, questioning the listener’s place in time. Are they living in the present? Or are they still trapped in the past, haunted by echoes of what once was? The verses move step by step toward the future, reinforcing that time is a straight path, a relentless force that erases as much as it creates. There is no rewind, no going back—only forward.

However, midway through the song, everything reverses. The lyrics, when played backward, tell an entirely new story—one where the future collapses into the past. In this version, time is no longer an arrow, but a cycle, proving that what was never truly disappears. The same words that once pushed forward now drag the listener back, questioning whether time itself is just a repeated loop.

By the final haunting whispers, the listener is left suspended between past and future, unable to grasp where "now" even exists. It is a chilling reminder that while time seems like a straight line, it may be nothing more than a spiral we keep falling into.

Forwards backwards, futures past
