As the second stanza suggests, not even lovers can sustain an absolutely open relationship or break through the inhibitions and the masks that people assume in order to hide what they really feel.

However, that would mean that I would never have an opportunity to go back in time and kill my mother, because I wouldn’t exist. So, my mother would be alive, which means I would be alive, which means I could travel back in time to kill her, which means she would be dead- and on and on.
Question 3: I’m not sure about the answer for this one. Synchronization is harmony, or movement at the same time; for example, I want to achieve synchronization in my cheering routine with the rest of my teammates- this means that we would perform the cheering routine at the same time, in harmony with each other.
