The Nurse Who Loved Me (Failure cover)

One way the song could be interpreted... The narrator is an abusive asshole, and the nurse is his fiance. "Say hello to the rugs topography It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it Say hello to the shrinking in your head You can't see it but you'll know it's there so don't neglect it" Here, and whenever he mentions "you" he's talking to the nurse. He beats her. That's why she's lying face down on a rug, and he takes great interest in seeing this. The pharmacy keys, and the pills in a little cup are a reference to antidepressants that she's taking. The song is a parody basically of how deluded the man is. (It's also a wakeup call to people who are in relationships like this). "Say hello to all the apples on the ground They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping Say hello to everything you've left behind It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it" This passage is about how the woman has lost so much of herself in this relationship. She's become a shadow of who she used to be. In the end of the song, she's married the narrator, she's been beaten again, and she says hello to the rug's topography. It's a valid interpretation, especially if you're like me and you found out about this song by listening to the 13th step! Right after it Pet starts, and it seems like a continuation of this song. At the beginning of the song, she's about to commit suicide, but the narrator tells her to "step away from the window." lol That's how I interpreted it when I first heard it, and it DOES work, all though I'm pretty sure neither APC nor Failure intended that interpretation.
