I definately agree that there's much more to this song than just sex, but I don't think it's all romance and sunshine either. It took me a long time to come to any conclusions about "Universe" because by the end of the song you're kind of lost about what just happened. Here's my opinion of what's happening in the song...
Clearly, the girl in the song is a virgin and she and the guy have been in a sexual limbo for a quite a while. What leads me to believe that is the fact that he says "You wanted it so much and now that it's over...". So the guy is trying to coax and reassure her that he'll be gentle and that it will be special and he'll take care of her. But afterward you're left to wonder if the girl wasn't just played by the guy. It sounds almost as if he's trying to tell her how she's going to feel in order to sort of pull a disappearing act after they finally make love. He says "You will only end up lost in loneliness" and then "So I'll let you go", which leads to the speculation that he got what he wanted from her and now he's leaving. Playing a classic mindgame by turning her fragile thoughts into something that works to his benefit.
So basically, we could all be fooled! lol. I always wondered if the guy in this song wasn't just a sweet and gentle guy, that perhaps he was a smooth talker with ulterior motives. Either way, it enhances the sexiness of the song. That the girl lost her virginity to a mysterious guy who vanished into the night miraculously without breaking her heart in the process.
