This song always makes me think of being 7-8 years old and specifically some of my core trauma moments. In sort of the "Hey, young me, that's messed up, but it's gonna be okay." so of way.
So here's a quick animation I put together of Present!Rae dueting with Past!Rae and I made a few designs of cartoon me with some of my old fits and hairstyles I've had growing up. My hair has a tendency to get a little wild when it's short, and a nickname I had in my teen years from my peers was "The Birdnest", because it would resemble one during humid weather.
I also wanted an excuse to animate some mouths moving.

I am entirely delusional anyway here are the lyrics to Oh Klahoma by Jack Stauber broken down line by line based on my memories
Set the phasers to rot
This can be a commentary on the way the ministry is run, with all good things soon rotting away and being replaced.
What has got you distraught?
This absolutely sounds like something Primo would say, you cannot change my mind.
It's negative attention at best
In this case he is likely talking to Secundo, as he has always been perceived as mean and angry.
But call it nothing
This is mention of how Seco will bottle everything up so he doesn’t have to show emotion.
Maybe it's something, a little bit, a little bit
Maybe it's something, do a little bit
Primo. He knows. He has seen it all before.
It's all about ascension, I guess
Ascension to papacy, possibly talking about how the younger (soon to be) Papas have so much pressure put on them to succeed.
Don't put me to rest
He likely didn’t get much sleep, seeing as he had to like raise his younger brothers.
Go on and hand me your clothes
Here is Sister talking to any of the Papas, likely for a photoshoot.
(oh, here you go)
Copia specifically, polite as ever, complies with whatever sister asks of him.
Take a picture or two (two or three?)
A photoshoot, with the others questioning things rather then Copia who follows along.
I can see you
Primo can see Copia for who he is as a young Cardinal. He likely knew that he was next in line.
(oh)
Copia isn’t used to having the attention on him, as he was just a cardinal at the time and was always outshined by the papas.
Tears falling down at the party
Saddest little baby in the room
Fears, tell me fears, don't get me started
These sound like things Nihil would say, condescending and dismissive to the things Copia experiences.
I get a little grey hair for every scare you share
Here is Nihil also teasing, using the same words that will later be repeated by Primo.
Tears falling down at the party
Saddest little baby in the room
Fears, tell me fears, don't get me started
I get a little gray hair for every scare you share
This is repeated, but by Primo with genuine care and love.
Those aren't meant to bend
No, those aren't meant to bend
Those aren't meant to bend
No, those aren't meant to bend
Here we have Primo talking to the youngers again, whether it be about boundaries or bones is up for interpretation.
I hear your eyes and I see those cries
I hear those eyes and I see those cries
I can't be the only one who hears you
Primo once again wondering how nobody sees the mistreatment to younger clergy members.
Tears falling down at the party
Primo talking about Copia.
Saddest little baby in my eye
Primo’s genuine concern for Copia and his problems.
Fears, tell me fears, don't get me started
I might die
In contrast to Nihil’s response to Copia, Primo cares about what he has to say and is concerned for his wellbeaing.
