The Drapery Falls has many parallels with Edgar Allens Poe's "The Raven".

This is by far my favorite Opeth song. After the second "Pull me down again and guide me into..." is probably the most intense part of the song. That part just gives me chills. You know. That static feeling that goes through your entire body. Also "Spiralling to the ground below, like autumn leaves left in the wake to fade (away). Waking up to your sound again, and lapse into the ways of misery." Love that part. This song is incredible.
