I'm glad somebody else caught the Nietzsche paraphrase in the opening monologue to this song. The actual passage comes from the section "The Vision and the Riddle" from "Zarathustra":
To you, the bold searchers, researchers, and whoever embarks with cunning sails on terrible seas - to you, drunk with riddles, glad of twilight, whose soul flutes lure astray to every whirlpool, because you do not want to grope along a thread with cowardly hand; and where you can guess, you hate to deduce - to you alone I tell the riddle that I saw, the vision of the loneliest.
That being said, this song exemplifies NoU's iconoclast attitude toward rock 'n' roll. While a great many bands during the early 90's were focusing their attention backwards (the "good old days" as your parents would say) and trying to recreate the sounds of the past, NoU were focused solely on the future of rock.
