i think this speaks about the gender role and identity of a woman in society.
the word "normalize" is used to describe what happens when a woman settles down, falls in love, becomes a wife and starts a family.
"I felt the earth/I felt the time" refers to that societal ideal of when one should do all those things.
"In the crowd/I'll find you/On your lapel there's a red carnation" i think refers to the groom.
To me, it seems as though the entire song is a transition. in the beginning she is feeling the signs around her pointing at domestication, then "i got the urge for penetration." i think that is a reference to the bachelor/bachelorette/casual sex mindset and then the transition happens when they meet and now the song starts talking about falling in love, building a house and having a baby.
