This song is simply a result of depression, stress, anxiety, and just being a lyricist trying to manifest one's feelings into art. But, as with the rest of the songs from my EP, "The Darkling Plain", there are references to Greek mythology.
"Child of time, mother of all"
This refers to the actual cosmological concept of Chaos, the void state preceding the creation of the universe. In Hesiod's Theogony, Chaos was the first thing to exist, predating the gods themselves, hence the term "Mother of All".
"Guided by the Oneirai"
The Oneiroi were primordial deities, children of Nyx (night), and taking the form of black-winged daemons were the personifications of dreams.
Morpheus- god of dreams.
Moirai- the Fates.
Nyx- the primordial deity and personification of night.
Erebus- the primordial deity and personification of darkness, and husband to Nyx.
