Seems like an ironic song about how love isn't very lovely. "The young man is weakness in a lover's disguise" a guy who wants sex and not love. "The woman is strong in her warm bed of lies" a woman who wants control and not love. "How will they hold what they can never perceive" it seems impossible that such greedy people would ever produce a love that survives. "And how do they love what they fail to deceive" the girl and guy see through eachothers lies and disguises. "One second in your memory is a miracle of lies" people devote so much thought and time to thinking about people who hurt them with lies and deception. "One heartbeat in your body is a miracle of love" it's a miracle that anyone stays alive when love is this dark. "One lonely moment in your arms is the miracle of love" people's selfish intents converging at a point of a physical intamacy is as close to love as anyone's ever gonna get.

Seems like the word love is defined less as a pure and fantastical feeling that makes the world a happy place, and more of a curtain that we use to throw over a very painful, carnal, and emotionally taxing experience that we were all born from and all go through.

Sad song that isn't entirely untrue, but it's all about perspective day by day.
