I think this song is a transition piece attempting to demonstrate the war frontline healthcare workers have endured throughout the pandemic. It is something most will not speak of simply because there are no words, energy, stamina left for the trauma experienced. As a nurse, I have experienced the ocean-like chasm between those in the trenches, and those at home numbing their boredom via Netflix, TikTok, etc. A nurse or doctor will immediately connect the pitch of the faint beeping at the end of the song along with bass drum with the exact pitch and rate of an in-patient monitor of an acutely ill person. The faint beeping here was present throughout the song but it is as if it steps through a veil here at the end and allows the listener to immediately recognize its possibly exact pitch to that of the patient monitor that is always softly beeping in the background of every patient room. This song and subsequent soft beeping is set to 100 BPM which would be a tachycardic heart rate seen in a moderately to severely ill human being.
Taylors abilities in song writting are so masterfully demonstrated in this ethereal, dream-like nightmare composition.
As nurses exit survival mode in this new post-pandemic time we are in, they are and continue to take their own lives across the country. My our hearts and thoughts be with them as the attempt to unpack and process the horrors and trauma COVID has left for them.
