Meaning of "Loreley" by Blood Ceremony

The river flowing endlessly without a clear direction represents the futility of trying to escape a cyclic pattern in life. The idea of circling back and feeling stuck in the same place metaphorically signifies being trapped in a repetitive cycle of actions, thoughts, or emotions. The Loreley's command keeping everyone dreaming could symbolize an acceptance of being stuck in a subconscious state, unable to break free from the cycle. The imagery of going deeper into the sea represents a descent into the unknown and possibly into a state of surrender or resignation, finding solace in this deep, unseasonable realm where the rules of the surface world do not apply.
