Cover art for Quicksilver lyrics by Roper

I'd assume this is about simply being less than what God wants us to be. It's about us attempting to be satisfied by things much less than what God has planned for us.

When he sings, "We take the crumbs like our hearts are at peace We are far too easily pleased"

Reese is most likely referring to the book of Matthew 15:21-28. I assume he's talking about how we settle for crumbs when God has a whole feast planned for us.
