Meanings of elements
EMERGING SHAFTS with MATING DANCE and CAVITY WITH TWO SETS OF LIPS
…or: STEALTHY PREDATOR and MINCED
…or: SEXUAL PREDATOR with CAVITY HAVING TWO SETS OF LIPS
「Emerging shafts in mating dance with cavity having two sets of lips」describes the OPPOSITE sexes, engaged in a「mating display」that has been the means for sexual pairing (momentarily) for hundreds of millions of years by many animal species, and not only humans.「Sexual predator」with「ground meat, cavity with two sets of lips」as a reference to worn-out or abused genitalia, the old way of doing things, as OPPOSITES (opposite sexes, perhaps, which was/is no longer the norm).「Stealthy predator」with「minced meat, cavity with two sets of lips」: an EX-MATE or EX-SPOUSE, OPPOSITES.
「Crested bird, owl」with「two claws together, minced」that refers to a particular trait of these raptors: owls seldom, if ever, build their own nest, instead using hollow cavities FORMERLY used by woodpeckers, or the abandoned nests of hawks, eagles, herons, or squirrels. Owls often use the same nesting site year after year, meaning WORN AND USED, FORMERLY, and AGED. Lower element of「snatch, minced」ready to grab something, perhaps a reference to the owl's huge talons snatching prey, or taking something to use as its own, and also appears to be in disrepair. Not building a nest of their own, instead relying on hollow cavities used by woody peckers, seems to refer also to the shaman's place with service-providing raptors.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: old; opposite: new 新; former; worn (with age)
Japanese EDRDG: old things, old friend, old times, former, ex-
Unihan extended: old, ancient; former, past

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
