To me, this song is about consummate love. (Fully expressed intimacy, passion and commitment in a relationship) After I'd read all the lyrics, this song became really meaningful to me and I kind of view it as the kind of love I strive to keep/have.
I think the mommy/poppy bit reads "we don't need the other to care for us in the way a parent does." a childish sort of need. sometimes in a relationship one partner becomes the more responsible one, helping support the other (through money or what else) and the other becomes like a child, completely dependant. since he mentions there's a long time before they get old (and would then perhaps rely upon the care of the other), i think this makes sense.
when he's watching the animals out in nature, eating together, flying together, having sex... he feels like that's them. just living life together. without complex drama or need. just a quiet, content way of life.
throughout the song he refers to how they have their own "individuality" and i agree with what whispersoft interpreted here. their love says "i don't need to turn you out, you don't need to turn me into your whore"... they respect, and love eachother's unique personalities and views on life. animals don't change for eachother. it seems "natural" to him for them to just be, and be together (nicely said egotrippen).
