"She may be young but she only likes old things
And modern music it ain’t to her tastes
She loves the natural light
Captured in black and white
She sees mirages of mountain ranges
Within the blink of her eye it changes
Back to the open plain
Oh no she can’t explain"
Pretty simple, but extravagant and indescribable at the same time. This is just a scratch on the surface of his perception of love.
"I cry out love keep your arms around me
I am a bird that’s in need of grounding
I’m built to fly away
I never learned how to stay"
Another self-explanation. It's not hard to interpret, but to truly describe and understand the concept behind this is impossible.
"The night is gonna fall and the vultures will surround you"
Probably a metaphor for those times we stay up at night thinking about life and how far we've come. I'm sure everyone can relate to this.
"And when you’re looking in the mirror what you see is gonna astound you"
Getting older, noticing different features, etc.
"But all these lines and greys refine, They are the maps of our design
Of what began on a Monday morning"
He seems pretty keen on the idea that life and humans are essentially genetics. Our bodies progress and our minds learn based on different branches of our DNA doing different things. As far as "Monday Morning" I'm guessing he is using this to represent the start of all things, as that is when the week starts, on Monday.
I'm not entirely sure as to why the song shifted gears from talking about love to genetics/evolution, but I'm almost certain he is saying we should appreciate the people we meet given that they became people we know and love and it is absolutely fascinating, the chances of finding someone who so complements and benefits your own genetic "map".
