"Turtles all the way down" is an expression of the problem of infinite regress. The saying alludes to the mythological idea of a World Turtle that supports a flat Earth on its back. It suggests that this turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, which itself is part of a column of increasingly larger turtles that continues indefinitely.

Lyrics turtles all the way down sturgill simpson
The saying holds that the world is supported by a chain of increasingly large turtles. Beneath each turtle is yet another: it is "turtles all the way down".

The exact origin of the phrase is uncertain. In the form "rocks all the way down", the saying appears as early as 1838.[1] References to the saying's mythological antecedents, the World Turtle and its counterpart the World Elephant, were made by a number of authors in the 17th and 18th centuries.[2][3]

The expression has been used to illustrate problems such as the regress argument in epistemology.

I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire 
That I was standing in
Met the devil in Seattle 
And spent nine months inside the lions den
I met Buddha yet another time 
And he showed me a glowing light within
But I swear, God is there 
Every time I stare in the eyes of my best friend
Says "My son it's all been done 
And someday you're gonna wake up old and gray"
So go and try to have some fun showing warmth to everyone
You meet and greet and cheat along the way

There's a gateway in our mind that leads 
Somewhere out there far beyond this plane
Where reptile aliens made of light 
Cut you open and pull out all your pain
Well tell me how you make illegal 
Something that we all make in our brain
Some say you might go crazy 
But then again it might make you go sane

And every time I take a look inside that old and fabled book
I'm blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the sky
Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT they all changed the way I see
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life

So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
It's turtles all the way down the line
So to each their own 'til we go home
To other realms our souls must roam
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
