Donny & Katharsys - Cause & Effect lyrics

The universe is deterministic
It's godless and neutral and defined only by physical laws
The life we lead, with all its apparent chaos, is actually a life on tramlines
Prescribed, undeviated, deterministic

I know it doesn't feel that way
We fall into an illusion of free will
And we feel so certain about our subjective state
Our feelings, our opinions
Judgments, decisions

But if we live in a deterministic universe
Then those decisions could have only been a result of something prior
The marble rolls because it was pushed
The man eats because he's hungry
And effect, is always the result of a prior cause

Cause and effect

The universe is deterministic

We fall into an illusion of free will

Cause and effect

I know it doesn't feel that way
We fall into an illusion of free will
And we feel so certain about our subjective state
Our feelings, our opinions
Judgments, decisions

But if we live in a deterministic universe
The man eats because he's hungry
And effect, is always the result of a prior cause

We fall into an illusion of free will
