Hmmm... IMHO this song is about sexual, and also emotional, abstinence. About people who, perhaps after a broken relationship or a bad experience, refrain themselves from the good and bad things love can bring, and choose to live in a state of blissful apathy.
"There's no contracts binding,
No bad scene beyond repair,
But when you're dead from the waist down,
You're too far gone to even care.
We stole the songs from birds in trees,
Bought us time on easy street,
Now our paths, they never meet,
We chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability,
I caught a glimpse and it's not me"
I think those lines prove it... Btw, don't mix politics into the bag, I'm not saying i'm seeing pro-life issues in this song!. In my oppinion, she's singing about the 'bah-I-don't-give-a-damn-about-sex-n-stuff' kind of abstinence rather than about the 'god-says-I-must-remain-pure-until-marriage' one, if you know what I mean...
