This song reminds me of the NDP's evolution over the last 30 years. From becoming a small party with great values and a lot of support. To the progressive conservatives new lap dogs.
Truth is independent of our individual madness. A force in & of its self, beholden to no master, she grants us to explore her. Whether as a tool or weapon, she is the only reason one needs to step into the maelstrom.
So why should we tolerate superstition, mysticism, dogma? I, for one, will not allow those asserting their empty beliefs to be as valid as applied sciences. Vertias Vincit.
"I don't know what I am. I don't know where ive been. Human junk just words and so much skin. Stick my hand through the cage of this endless routine. Just some flesh caught in this big broken machine."
I did a performance art bit where I changed the lyrics to "I'm a mess, I'm obsessed with Ciaran Hinds and Beverly." No one understood what I was trying to say... looking back, that's a good thing.
YEAH... all you cheap fuckin hookers, thought you knew... but this shit is FUCKIN old SCHOOL. and u just gettin in on this now? FUCK OFF YOU FUCKIN posers!
So wait, all people seem to remember this song for is the video which no one apparently gets, or the heaviness. No one pays attention to the lyrics. Awesome
@dazadestroy .............except...Marilyn Manson...isn't.....AS rich as this stuff...sorry.......I mean I'm not sorry. NIN fans are cooler ',:^D just kidding, this is my oppinion
@dazadestroy This was a lil before Mansons time.Trent coached Manson & signed him to his record label NOTHING, so technically Manson would play like NIN -.-
When we were in college we had some annoying neighbors in our dorm that were often loud late at night. One night we delivered some "payback" in the form of this song on a large boombox at FULL volume at approximately 3am.
I also did a same thing to my dorm's fuckin noisy neighbor around same o'clock just in my college days in Japan. it's Like "Take this shit!! " : I was really mad for NIN.
...and i think there are so many people in the world who have the same beautiful& crazy memory (L).
Has anyone seen the video for this song? well my sister showed it to me when I was 11! Basically some dude puts himself in this mechanical torture chair. the video show's some fuckd up shit! Still gives me the chills!
If anything in regards to this specific track, it's one that archetypically defines Trent Reznor's character in this particular time in his career; with his heavy drug addiction - and his aesthetically, artistically and well-crafted musical material - he did indeed find "Happiness In Slavery". I am happier he's in a better place, but I doubt he'll make anything as well-crafted, and musically, aesthetically, artistically and conceptually significant as "The Fragile".
@DJReveerb - Mordum is crap. It's so low-budget it's not believable.
Granted the video for "Broken" is crap too. *As much as I love COIL and Chris Christopherson... it's still shit. Even something as hardcore "Philosophy of a Knife" is a bit weak to me. None of it compares to actual real life.
@KitanaOne I disagree. The special effects at the disembowelment scene, but I would have to say the rest was spot on. It is made to look like it was shot on an old camcorder. Although I agree for a movie made in 2005, they should have used a lower end digital camera. Rather than a 90's camcorder.
@TheNineinchsnails Agreed. Most fucked up thingk I have ever seen. Followed by Pain Olympics, then Broken Movie, then Cannibal Holocaust and Faces of Death.
@TheNineinchsnails Just recently discovered Guinea Pig 2. Although there are things that make it phony (There are points at which I would think blood should be coming out with more force.) You can see bone, and shit. The sound effects also add another level, but I wish they would have been mixed quieter because they are so loud that it is not realistic.
