Discover the story of the song > The Nurse Who Loved Me – A Perfect Circle

The protagonist is talking about the things he sees and feels inside his head. He talks about a rug that has some interesting things on it when he puts his face down, and he says there is a feeling of something shrinking in his head that he can't see but knows it's there. He tells his partner that he's going to take her home with him because she has everything he needs, like keys to a pharmacy. He says he can see that she is falling in love with him in her eyes, and she acts like a nurse with other guys. He also talks about the things he has left behind, like apples that used to be in his eyes but he sneezed them out in his sleep. He says those things are even more important to him now that he can't touch them. The song ends by talking again about the rug.
