We should keep in mind that the members of the band changed their name from the comparatively nonsencisal Kunek to Other Lives for a reason. To me, the band is about exploring various probabilities in life, yet not just in the direct sense of what different paths in a single life that one can take. Yet something relating to the more esoteric aspects of past-lives. Which I think that this song is about.
Imagine a couple that meets again and learns that they have a past-life connection. Yet It's overwhelming for them both and they go back and forth on believing in the power of their connection and denying it. Hence the first two verses. "Turning Black Tables" would refer to the magic of how they both contribute to the awe and fear surrounding their relationship.
