"The "Bearded Barley", a song, and the rapture"


There's a Christian group called Sixpence None the Richer. Their biggest hit "Kiss Me" has always stood out to me because of some potential hidden meanings within the lyrics 

About 10 years ago I was studying the significance and meaning of the barley, wheat, and grape harvests. That was the first time I "heard" the lyrics "bearded barley" from the song and wondered immediately if it meant something. I feel like the Holy Spirit alerted me to other verses within the song. One is "We'll take the trail marked on your Father's map", another is DOWN by the broken TREEhouse (Jesus died on a "tree" or cross---scripture says cursed is the man who hangs from a tree. Jesus never sinned, but took on the curse of sin for all of us). Then the line "Kiss me, out of the bearded barley, nightly beside the green, green grass" caught my ear.

Is this a clue to the timing of the rapture hidden in plain sight? If so, that would support a spring rapture.
