Thank you, Blue Kephra. Your comments have lead me down new roads... There is a definite tinge of Spare-ness to the lyrics of this song. Sort of an early-Coil manifesto, this one, and a personal favourite of mine.
I believe that the primary theme of the song is that of transmigration and projection, by lucid dream and esoteric ritual alike, aided by the restriction of prior sleep, both the initiation of the "travel" and the induction of state via deprivation of sleep itself being pure exercises of will. True magic, if you will, black as night but not "evil", per se, just dark...
