Listening to this song, the story of "Little Mermaid" comes to my mind. The music of "Ever Dream" sounds like thunderous ocean waves, very powerful, feverish and desperate at the same time, while the lyrics speak some words expressing longing, burning desire to someone unknown?

Could this be about the mermaid's reverie, as she imagined the prince she once saved from that bad, stormy shipwreck, the "castaway of a lonely day", "so lost in your sea" (drowned unconsciously?)... Admiring his handsomeness "my song can but borrow your grace", "your beauty cascaded on me"... and finally saying a wish to unite with him "in this white night fantasy"...

Ah, we always wanted to be dreamt by the one we love, don't we? "Ever Dream of Me, Dream of Me..."
