Poppy Lyrics
I'm not looking for a mommy
Don't seem like you need a poppy Plenty of time till you're an old lady And the same for me before I'm an old man We could celebrate it monthly How we stayed individuated Oh kid, congratulations You held on to your dear dear dear identitiy Even while spending so much time with me I see two blackbirds in the yard They are paired together They are feeding They are flying They are fucking I see two dragonflies do the same in midair There is something Special in the air We wake up in the same bed But with different bodies God bless our separate heads Oh desire will run about That's what the geese were all roaring about The fact that our love Is not that kind of love Not that selfish love Says what's yours is mine And what's mine is yours I don't need to turn you out You don't need to turn me into your whore We are not some rutting pair of wild boars We're just psyched so psyched So psyched so fucking psyched That's what the geese are all roaring about That's what their hearts were all open about Our love That kind of love Unselfish love |

But that it doesn't mean they don't care about each other... on the contrary they may love each other more than a traditional couple does with all the labels and expectations and the whole gig. They're unselfish with one another. They don't demand time or fidelity. They enjoy the company when they're around, and when they're not, they live.
"I'm not looking for a mommy... Don't seem like you need a poppy" - neither one is seeking a relationship. And it goes on to talk about that neither one is old yet, and has a while until they are - so why settle down?
"How we stayed individuated... Same bed... different bodies... bless our seperate heads"
He's thankful for what they have. They both are. People in relationships tend to meld together in some ways, and loose the outer edges of themselves in the person they're with, but because they remain seperate beings they keep themselves. Unselfishly, they don't demand to have anything of the other person that isn't already given. They don't take on their traits, and don't expect a call. It is what it is.
That kind of love.
Unselfish love.
But I could be totally wrong. Its just how I saw it.

I think the mommy/poppy bit reads "we don't need the other to care for us in the way a parent does." a childish sort of need. sometimes in a relationship one partner becomes the more responsible one, helping support the other (through money or what else) and the other becomes like a child, completely dependant. since he mentions there's a long time before they get old (and would then perhaps rely upon the care of the other), i think this makes sense.
when he's watching the animals out in nature, eating together, flying together, having sex... he feels like that's them. just living life together. without complex drama or need. just a quiet, content way of life.
throughout the song he refers to how they have their own "individuality" and i agree with what whispersoft interpreted here. their love says "i don't need to turn you out, you don't need to turn me into your whore"... they respect, and love eachother's unique personalities and views on life. animals don't change for eachother. it seems "natural" to him for them to just be, and be together (nicely said egotrippen).
