The whole song is a critique of neoliberal capitalism and consumerism and our need to run after new things and more and more of them. At the end we don't get it because basically it's a wrong race. And gives that message in the title Episode 2 - Neither new, nor better. 😍
New, better.... it's too similar on purpose. We all expecting something new and better but year after year nothing is changing or very little is changing. Making bread. You know how you have to wait for dough to grow (she's watching the dough singing "it's coming"), also metaphor for "something better is coming". And at the end she's desperately screaming for doctor while we hear in the background "it's coming"! And song finishes by her alone on stage convinced that "it's coming"! We are all sheeps believing in political promises that better times are coming and we're waiting to happen but it actually never does! This woman is a genius

At the beginning she has two Biblical scenes - The Calling of St Matthew and Adoration of the Shepherds.
She's baking bread. 😍
