The song seems to juxtapose a relationship (presumably romantic given other Biophilia tracks) to plate tectonics. Actually quite an accurate comparison when you think about it! All healthy personal relationships require a level of compromise, push-&-pull, give-&-take, reciprocity. And much like how the plates must shift, collide, and subsume, striving for a perfect fit, we must do the same for a relationship to be successful. Even when everyone tries their hardest, things can go wrong (erupt)! Yet, things may be recovered, stabilize, and breathe new life into a relationship/landmass as sparks fly, feelings are expressed, and problems are dealt with.
Wow, that was a lot longer than I thought! Just my thoughts on this excellent song.
I thought your interpretation was spot on although I conceived the line "This eruption undoes stagnation" to be a reference to sexual release. Great interpretation!
