There is no longer any turning back is an excerpt from ”The Aphorisms of Zürau”, a posthumous work by Franz Kafka. The work represents a path without obstacles, a descending abyss toward ourselves, toward the roughness of our deepest selves that we cannot explain and probably cannot confess.

The individual track titles make up another excerpt by David Foster Wallace from an interview with David Lipsky: «The part of me that thought I was different or smarter or whatever almost killed me.»
