Sometimes it is impossible for me to explain to people that he isn't merely referencing police as "pigs" in this song.Trent's music isn't that shallow.
I figured out why Trent has so many references to pigs in that album. This one he recorded, and lived, in the Tate house, where the Charles Manson murders took place. I was reading about Manson on wikipedia and after the murders happened Manson said to leave a message "something witchy". He wrote "pig" on the front door in Tate's blood.
I called my ex Ms Piggy because well, she was a stuck up self centered bottle blonde bitch kinda like the muppet. Loved her to death, drove me nuts... Play this song every time something happens with her that pisses me off. And it always makes me smile.
A lot of stupid people would call today the drummer * emo* but back then that was true gothic/industrial style, just don't giving a fuck, just my opinion, don't like it, eat a dick (must be the mood of the song)
@largepitt Stupid people indeed, cause after all, it's not just about your make up our your appearance, but about your attitudes and your behaviour too, and that's where "emo people" are quite different from "industrial people".
Fact I know I am standing for as long I exist here in the reality. OK
Hello to all.
My own web site is always all-free for all to see informing about some of my life, and also how I got to know about this honest fact about the reality that we all are part of. OK
All is and all will always be all-free for all to see in my web-site at:
You might be bisexual, dontbesuprised. And as your name suggests, I wouldn't be suprised. One of my fav NIN songs. This version tops the album version by a million! It's too bad they never did a mtv unplugged session:/
@skotnva An MTV Unplugged session would have been really cool. I absolutely fell in love with Piggy when I first heard it. I love the bass in it. It sneaked its way into my soul and planted in there. And I'm actually female, but since I hate gender and sexuality roles anyway, I suppose that doesn't matter.
Be careful what you write - it may become reality. I wrote songs years ago (fictional songs) only to have them become a reality in my life. Trent Reznor, in an interview said the same regarding the songs from this era - he wrote them and then later watched them happen to him. John Lennon and Tupac Shakur said the same things. Some my say it's crap, but I've seen it happen. Ronnie Dio wrote "Don't write by starlight or the words may come out real". For some it does.
Everyone watching this vid seems to be on a path to destruction or something. Most of of us a re so f***king lucky its unreal. Think life is s**t and hard now?
by the time it takes you to read this fucking post three children!!!! THREE will die of starvation. (I'm assuming it takes nine seconds in its entirety) and we bitch day in day out about how hard life is! fucking pathetic.
@Dunny5000 Totally agree with you. The new generation in particular has no clue what hardship is and they have even less clue on how to deal with life and situations.
id just like to say my lifes good..actually great now...sometimes you gotta walk through hell to see the beauty in living anyways id also like to add that im a girl..i guess there may be a toughness to the way i talk maybe its the city in me i dont know but id just feel like id say that so ppl can stop calling me man or brother..
i remember singing this while walking through train cars in nyc..high on dope...just wishing for someone or something to take me away from the life i was living..
@6Bene well years..of running from life and destroying myself..until i finally got tired of running..and faced it all and got clean....but i still love the music..during those years i felt like trent was singin for me i know cheesy just the feeling in his voice and the words its like he understood me even though i didnt fully understand myself
@JustCallmEJaX I have similar memories of this song, i would roam around my home town of Fillmore<CA at night high as fuck slinging dope and hideing from the pigs at the same time. I also relate to Hurt wiyth those days. I hope something did help you out of those dark days. I am clean 3 years now and got a degree and am an addictions treatment counselor working with at risk youth. By the Grace Of GOD!! Jesus Saves!
@JustCallmEJaX And then you woke up and realize the wanker you are...nice by publishing it you seemed to have grown up!! Cheers man. I dont smoke dope anymore cause I am a bigger wanker than you :)
~The healthiest 'Heroin Addict' i ever seen....have been around heroin, heroin addicts...he is not far into addiction...that's for sure!!!...puts on a good show though!!
people don't seem to get what's going on here, by this point in the tour Trent's in a lot of pain. this is about a year maybe a year and a half into the tour, he's struggling with that alcohol and heroin addiction, he's tired and manickly depressed. he feels like he's stuck in a black hle of misery and there's no hope. sre this performannce is orgasmic to us but he's suffering. he hates to think about this or see it now, cuz he remembers how bad he was then and the memoreis are so painful 4 him.
@GutterFlower90 ~The healthiest 'Heroin Addict' i ever seen....have been around heroin, heroin addicts...he is not far into addiction...that's for sure!!!...puts on a good show though!!
@padrepeado um, fool! this is the height of his addictin. in fact, less than a year after this, he got himself to rehab (thank god) and started on the road to recovery. he may have relapsed on the way but he's ok now.
@GutterFlower90 The healthiest 'Heroin Addict' i ever seen....have been around heroin, heroin addicts...he is not far into addiction...that's for sure!!!...puts on a good show though!!
