yes this song does refer to a tapastry which shows the taming of a unicorn. A unicorn can only be tamed by a virgin woman, and more then once the words seem to come from the point of view of a woman.
The unicorn being tamed is often a reference in paintings and such to a man falling in love with a lady and the womans chastaty leading to a faithful relationship.
Going on this i will hazard a guess that this is a bout lovers seperated by war from the point of view of a young chaste woman prehaps harking back to medival times.
The general air of the lyrics seem to be about beauty but also sadness as id reflected by the sad but beautiful melody of the music.
Prehaps this is the lady going to see her lover at the front lines and the beauty she encounters along the way. She seems almost intoxicated with the beauty and the thought of seeing her lover again.
But i cant help thinking when i hear this some that the boy is already dead but she travels to see him anyway, prehaps unconciously seeking her own death so that they can be together.
