I think it's about hitting on a girl/or a hookup/one night stand
I think the male in the situation is more emotionally vulnerable possibly with not much experience.
he wants her to "see the future and tell it to you"
shows nervousness and/or lack of experience.
the next set of lines get's a bit deeper
I love the "everywhere we look we see ourselves"
this is a comment on a humans basic psychology of simply ALWAYS seeing the world from their own biased perspective. everything that happens or someone does is interpreted by the individual from their own experiences.
I'm not inclined to think in braided sprirals, I know I always wasn't this way.
the mental image of strands weaving in and out (braided)
back and fourth from a lover to separation
she probably has done this before
spirals= but never really connecting
"is it really worth it"
everywhere we look we see ourselves though...
so it's like an inner conflict in her mind, she enjoys it but is sort of conflicted like is there really more to it anyway?
same with the guy (also conflicted) but in a different way it seem
sexual metaphor aside, on a deeper note i feel like the song hits on the whole balance and duality to things in life (as cliche as that sounds)
it's not intended to shame sexual promiscuity I don't believe
it's not intended to be preachy
it's just kind of hitting on a deeper level of a realistic interaction.
that's just my interpretation, kind of late and abstract thoughts so I may not have gotten it 100% (i'm just going to post this because I know if i re-read it I will chop it all up and end up deleting this)
