I see a separation of not living from dead, but of those with potential to live, those that have seized that potential, those that live.
what has the potential to live = beans
what has seized that potential but hasn't planted = sprouts
what is living = tadpoles
i have a feeling all of the above are persons and people never fully become. we are always in process of becoming.
the one's that have actual names point me towards those that do not change and exist i
God and Jesus. The king, and the one who councils those that come to being.
I believe she identifies herself as a bean that wants to be a sprout. i found it interesting that she uses the process of growing as farming is one of the few professions that so directly involves both God and man.
so the first verse is her frustration in seeing the difference between potential and action and the intrapersonal difficulty.
the second verse is about the enormous amount of hope for what might happen and is ready for whatever outcome there is to be.
the second prechorus is tricky. it seems we have a rower in white as she is bean in a lake amongst tadpoles. again, we have God and the voice of God (white coat, white throat, white being a pure color, or maybe the rower is less defined but is interpreted as God) and we have the talking of the tadpoles. the voices of all of these pull you in directions that can confuse you and frustrate you but still these are only held in the mind, the imagination.
What is needed is a simple question to the love interest of "should we go outside and break some bread?" Outside just means to seize reality and to step into what is tangible rather than theoretical.
I do resonate with the idea of the bread being almost sacramental communion. Like how we are intentionally involved with those we commune with, the singer is asking the other to join in a relationship that has the body of Christ to initiate it.
