I'm not so sure that this song is explicitly about sex, despite the fact that he says the word "sex" in the 2nd stanza.

"Soft skin starts to shrivel" seems to be referring to aging, but I'm really not sure about the rest of the meaning.

What do you guys think about the significance of eyes, claws, metal and all the flower-related metaphors?

The orchid and petals could indeed be about a sexual experience, but the song just really doesn't seem to be able the beauty of sex, if anything perhaps a more general view on the beauty of the world? I'm not sure
