@ crazymiles.......the point of sex is to kill ourselves in the creation of another...that is why the french call orgasm "le petit mort" the little death......look into the face of your partner when they come....he/she is not there.....they have totally trusted and surrendered their body to you....male and female.....they are closer to God......maybe crazy you never have had good real sex......if not about sex what is it about?
@crazymiles Because it is, loosely. Closer derives on the basic desire we have as man, and the unnamed character in Trent's album is using sex as a healing method, as it had made him happy again. We can relate to it, because the Downward Spiral is an album almost everyone can relate to.
if God would put all the love songs in the world on one half on weighing scale and 'Closer' on the other half, all the love songs in the world would suddenly find themselves flying through the air.
I find it amusing that so many people only latch onto the chorus and don't realize just how vicious and self--loathing of a song this is. Yes, it is wonderful for having sex, and yes it's a very sexually themed song, but at it's core it's about using sex as a gateway to attempt to relieve yourself of the self-hate and anger you carry. It's about trying to lose your depression by being with someone else, and becoming emotionally dependent.
@awake352 Get used to it. Idiots always latch onto the chorus of a song.
For example, most people think the song "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins is a light and happy song about a perfect day. They totally ignore the darkness in the rest of the lyrics...."Pink ribbon scars that never forget etc.."
Congratulations on being a more cerebral consumer of the arts.
@awake352 it's always encouraging to see there are still intelligent people out there. intelligently worded, spelt correctly, and punctuated properly. you sir or madam, are quickly becoming a unicorn. by which i mean a creature of legend. here's to hoping you're the one that's breeding, and you're progeny inherit our planet. otherwise...we're fucked.
@awake352 Aren't you a shiny cup of sunshine dust! *pinches cheek* After reading your comment I googled the lyrics and yea.. it's like a really dark description of a relationship. I used to get really turned on while listening to this song and so what? If others want to relate this song to something good instead of something dark and depressing then let them.
love how this guy that I picked up told me he wanted to fuck me like an animal. kept saying how he wanted inside me. It was one of the best nights of my life.
trent reznor is a clever man ...... the electronic scene will never be the same.....

Above the trees

Scraped off my knees
