Hypnos is the Greek god of sleep.
Hypnos would rise every night carrying a horn filled with opium dust and a branch dripping with water from the river of forgetfulness. The water from the river of forgetfulness was to make you forget and the opium dust was to put you to sleep.
Hypnos resided in the lands of eternal darkness. His mother was the god of night and one of his brothers was the god of dreams. A another brother was the god of peaceful death (Thanatos).
I don't know what it is about the song, but I really like it. It is a dark lullaby. It is like Hypnos has induced the opium state and you are trailing off to sleep.
Now have a listen to Hypnos. http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/song_2219314
As always, it is best to listen with headphones, but a quite environment will also do. Maybe before going to sleep? Hmmmm.

Know yourself, every thing else is relative.
