Baboon Lyrics
While time waits for no man
I’ll be here in winter.
Tear down your baracades
so I may enter.
Your lips are warm
they comfort me.
Open up
and lets begin.
So I’ll lay on this
bed that I have made.
So soundly sleep
and whisper your name.
Oooooh you…you burn me up.
One touch and I am in
a trance like state.
Entwinning our fates to another
the cost of our will now both bound to each other.
What was in your head
when you said
“until death”?
The marks upon your skin
tell tales while envy
mocks without remorse
and ties you up in knots.
One touch and I am in
a trance like state.
Entwinning our fates to another
the cost of our will now both bound to each other.
What was in your head
when you said
“until death”?
Your lies unfold
like lines that were left
in turn and consequently
told all.
I’ll be here in winter.
Tear down your baracades
so I may enter.
they comfort me.
Open up
and lets begin.
bed that I have made.

Seems like it's about intimacy, and perhaps he's questioning if their idea of commitment is the same or not.
Yeah, I think the song is very much about commitment. He sings of absolute wonder and control that this girl has over him "One touch and I am in a trance like state". But he questions her commitment "what was in your head when you said until death". There's definitely some doubt there, but the twist that he was right, "you lies unfold". Which is very very much the amazing climax of the song.
Seems to me that this song is about a woman cheating on her husband/boyfriend/significant other with him.
