In keeping with the theme that a person lives their life repeatedly in eventful succession over-and-over again for eternity, Trent is aware of this and has chosen to use new-found knowledge of this to chose a different path this life. I personally think this song, like many of the others on With Teeth, is about overcoming his addictions and taking a new path this time around. However, he can still feel his other self and the grips that life had on him. "Places parallel, bleeding through." He is all alone this time without drugs yet he refuses to "stay" in that recurring life. This new life is "right where it belongs." And this will go on, and on, and on.... (recurrence).
So folks, become aware of this philosophy on the meaning of your life, make choices to choose paths that make this recurring life worthwhile.
Yes, I agree! Eternal return was the first thing I thought about when I heard this. You could even loop this song into one seamless, neverending song due to the fact that the song begins and ends on that same synth note. Interesting.
