	Damn, that acoustic interlude towards the end is just beautiful...

	hey scuzlup are you on drugs by any chance :p and its not about sex. its about a guy who cant forget his dead love. he sees her in his dreams because he cant let her go. and the last sentence indicates that he even sees her when he is awake. so its about not being able to let a lost love go

	Regardless of what the song's about, Nectar has some seriously great riffage. It's easily my favourite Opeth song.

No Picture chris Average	#9 by chris ovari at Apr 22, 1984 at 5:44 AM EST
	Oh and its also my 2nd favourite song ever And what i meant by evil was a women who he despises for some reason or another (abusive or sinful?) but still loves Everybody sing along with the 'mine is yours' harmony!

No Picture Doolittle Lead Player	#10 by Doolittle at Apr 14, 1986 at 10:00 PM EST
	yeah , its just too bad that the actual sound on morningrise is so damn bad the bass riffs are really cool en very creative but the bass player they had at that time has such a terrible basssound, its simply irritating. i mean hook up a squier bass on some mini amp and you would almost get a better sound that he has :s, its really terrible. not that mendez has a great bass sound ( i mean a fender jazz bass for metal ?? ) but at least its better than derfalla's sound

	I personally think this song is about a sperm. No reall, look. . . The first stanza shows the sperm being awakned by interactions between the man and woman (lullaby=music, tale=conversation, embrace=intercourse) "Cursing me with every glance" means that the parents don't want a child, but with "I swear I will always love you", the sperm says that they won't regret having a child. The second and third stanzas (Bring me through. . . fall inside) detail the sperm's feelings about release and getting to the egg. In the fourth stanza, the sperm witnesses so many of his fellow sperms dying. He regrets that they had so little chance to survive and feels pain at their passings. "Mine is yours, mine is yours In the wake of dawn The mist of morning linger before it leaves Invisible eyes, red reflection It is you Smiling in the midst of the moor" Here the sperm is talking to the egg as if together they had already made a child, hence the "invisible eyes". He is happy at the end the end result.

No Picture adrian Average	#14 by adrian zamora at Mar 16, 2001 at 11:56 PM EST
	hmm,,, It is about nightmares, especially the last sentences, it sounds to me like the appearance of a ghost. And yeh, its about love too.. I dont even care where its about, Opeth just rocks :D

	I belive I recall Mike saying this song is about nightmares, although I agree with Paradox that it sounds more lusty.

	I'm not sure exactly on the complete meaning, but it is clearly sexual.
