The reason is in the song."

I had the feeling se was putting the focus on "eternal starting with æ".

Two letters put back to back in a mirrored position... the tracklist mirrored for Jacket A and B... the "Double Trouble" theme... playing around the "W" letter... I don't know how to explain it. I see a pattern here but I feel I can't really grasp its real meaning yet.
Thanks! That's really interesting, it also never occurred to me that when writing a like that, it's like an upside-down e. There's definitely a 'double' theme with this album, I just wish it was more developed.
