Cute Is What We Aim For: Teasing to Please Meaning

Teasing to Please Lyrics

And so typically
And so typically
Soft, set back and perfectly dropped
Tough and learn, and so perfectly taught
I am as he does
You are as she was
And that's because
And that's because
But you never try
But you never try
Cause conflict...

   This is about a boy (possibly shaant himself) who his positively love struck by this girl and no matter what she does he'll still feel the same. "with that facade you can do no wrong" he is definitely love struck even giving himself shivers thinking about his girl. This girl takes all of his attention that he used to give to other girls. "many will enter but few will win" I think these are girls competing for his attention but not successful as his girl is too special.
   
   "And the dance floor where I do my best is your mattress"
   
   i believe this is simply referring to relations of the sexual nature haha. The flowing movements of there love making resemble dance.
   
   Shaant shows a vain side to himself is this song with the 'mirror' verse and the 'many will enter' I find this unusual and maybe I have mis interpreted it as I get the feel he is a insecure chap most evident in there's a class for this with "I maybe ugly but they sure love to stare" although that may be a subtle way to saying he knows he is attractive haha anyway I'll stop analysing another song lol

   Okay I don't know what all of it means but I figured out some of it. So here goes.
   
   "But you never try
   Cause conflict didn't make your top pick"
   
   He's saying that his girlfriend doesn't try to solve the conflicts between them because she put other things in front of their relationship or not making their problems her top pick.
   
   
   "Restitch my ripped jeans
   And take the old ones
   And Take the old ones out back
   Sew them tight at the seams please
   I’ve got so many ripped knees
   Ripped knees"
   
   This is a metaphor for all the conflicts in their relationships. He's stitching the jeans up on his own but there's too many and he can't fix them all without her help. In other words he can't fix the conflicts in their relationship alone.
   
   "I’m selfish as selfish as comes
   You’re giving me a run for my money
   Honey"
   
   Here he's saying he's a really selfish person but she's even more selfish for not even trying. She's giving him a run for his money in that she out-selfishes him.
   
   
   "This is a hint that you take
   And you pull and you find a way out of what you got yourself into"
   
   This is her taking the hint that there's conflicts that need fixing in their relationship and she just tries to find a way out of the relationship instead of fixing it.
   
   "But when you try
   But when you try to get out you’ll never find
   That most definitely I will be attracted to you
   If you pick my left side"
   
   This is him saying that if she tries to get out of the relationship she won't see how much he really likes her unless she choses the left side,Her heart(as Shaant has stated in previous interviews)and stays with him.
