In Greek mythology, if you drink from the Lethean River in Hades, you instantly forget your past. Keeping that in mind, the song begins to make a little bit more sense, though, we must admit, Tristania can be a bit "prolix" themselves. :p In any case, it seems this person is burdened by his past, and aches to drink from the Lethean in order to forget it. Which would mean he would have to die ("entrancing sleep") and go tohell/Hades. My personal favourite Tristania lyric is in this song: "Time will gather the source of thy secrecies."
