Lyrics
I'm nurse and nun.
I identify as both a nurse and a nun.
Undertaker of men.
Describing oneself as someone who takes care of the deceased.
All men cry upon my table.
Men express their emotions while on my table.
I'd give you the balm but you're unable.
Willing to provide comfort, but the person is unable to accept it.
I'm the worst nurse,
Acknowledging a deficiency as a nurse due to a lack of empathy.
'Cause it ain't in me.
Expressing an inability to feel deeply for others.
I tie them down. I feel no pity.
Tying people down without remorse.
And they cry until they're empty.
People cry until they have no more emotions left.
I'm nurse and nun.
Reiteration of being both a nurse and a nun.
Undertaker of men.
Reiterating the role of caring for the deceased.
All men cry upon my table.
Men express their emotions while on my table.
I'd give you the cross but you're unable.
Willing to provide spiritual solace, but the person is unable to accept it.
He was a bad man. They had to lift his energy off me. It was dark like a cloud, like a wisp of black smoke. They had to lift it off me like it was a net of black hair. And I arose.
Describing a dark and burdensome experience of dealing with a negative energy.
My name is Prunella. I'm at the height of my trajectory. I saw his face and I'm not scared. They said show it to her, she's ready. I said show it to me, I'm not scared. I heal the sick. I raise the dead. I am Prunella. If you're hurt, I'll take my revenge.
Introduction of the narrator as Prunella, confident and unafraid, capable of healing and resurrecting.
The day isn't cold enough for this to sting. They laid me out on the table. What's this light? What's this rustling? It's time. I rise. I take my revenge.
Reflecting on a moment of transformation and the readiness for revenge.
Maybe I was twelve. Maybe fourteen. Maybe I was eighty-two or eighty-three. I carry it through this life. I bear every bit of that weight and I will not let them shatter me.
Recalling a past age, carrying the weight of experiences, and vowing not to be broken.
My name is Prunella. My name is Prunella. And I'll have my revenge.
Reaffirming identity as Prunella and expressing the determination for revenge.
