Description
A lullaby is a soothing song, usually sung to young children before they go to sleep, with the intention of speeding that process. As a result they are often simple and repetitive. Lullabies can be found in every culture and since the ancient period.

However, this movement is slightly more askew and delirious in nature. The lullaby does not a create a nightmare but a profound journey or discovery.

Typically a lullaby is in triple metre, or in a compound metre like 6/8. Tonally, most lullabies are simple, often merely alternating tonic and dominant harmonies: Because the intended effect is to put someone to sleep.

American Complex - Lullaby does hint at these traditional feature but quickly divert into a journey that resembles lucid dreaming.
