The Width of a Circle Lyrics

To me, this song envelopes several of the parables and themes in Also Sprach Zarathustra. Especially the second half of the song. "Turn around go back" is the spirit of gravity. "Do it again, do it again" overcoming once more, eternal recurrence. But, as it appears, it is seemingly a sexual encounter with a "devil". Regardless, Nietzsche's work did influence parts of this album.
