I'm not sure about the birthday deathbed rose besides the imagery, colour, smell.
Birthday makes me think of birthday suit, naked. Deathbed ... Dieing naked ... Also ... Le petit mort ... And red is the most used colour for a rose ... Blood ...
Lots of connotations to be played with but I'm skewing these .... Towards ...
There's a definite religious theme with this album, which needs to be listened in entirety. This is the first song, the beginning, "coming of age". The core is the apple from garden of Eden says wiki.
I didn't like this thought, but I'm gonna put it out there : an older woman trying to seduce a younger guy ... Or, a younger girl, a Lolita seducing a young guy - coming of age. This fits quite well with Adam n eve - eve the temptress.
When she peeks ... Peaks ... Being watched ... Rising ... Not really certain on this part.
"You can't swallow what I'm thinking"
Later in album there's a definite feeling religion has caused shame when thinking about sex, this could be connected to that.
Swallow being a pretty obvious sexual connotation. Thinking lustful thoughts. "its natural."
"walked too softly" a desire to be bolder, bigger, louder, more, flows through the album along with sex and death.
"thinking about tomorrow" makes me think about the opposite "thinking about yesterday". What could be if he'd walk a bit louder, make an impact, ask the girl out etc.
Maybe when she peeks, he runs - when she looks his way, he's too shy, but maybe tomorrow ... Now I'm gonna go comment on next song ;)

"it's natural". ... Lots of things. Sex, nakedness, death, lust, desire, masturbation.
