  • Just ........ Amazing

  • I love this song.. but the people in this audience need to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • this song to me is about looking within ones self and reflecting

  • my dad passed away as i was coming home from work and this was what i was listening to,,,, a beautiful song  but disturbing at the same time i have a hard time listening to the entire song... 143 REW eternal

  • I absolutely love this song, and Trent Reznor. Whenever I am down I come to this song. My very good friend has been suffering in his hospital bed for months now. Today, at a very very young age, my wonderful friend was weakened, and he passed away. I want to play this song at his funeral, I'm going to miss him so much.

  • @kevo795 ...very zenish...but absolutely true

  • No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself

  • sorry :( i cant find original video of this song . . .

    please help me?

  • such a great vocal performance here. thanks for posting this!

  • First time I heard this song, I cryed. Second time, I cryed. Third time, I cryed. I didn't know why but now I think I know. it maybe because this song comes from the heart of the greatest musican ever and because it pierced my heart. When I'm listening to this, it's like all the sadness, the melancoly and the affection of the world are next to me. I know it's strange but that's this song makes me feel like !

  • When I first heard this song I thought it was about recovery. And later on I take it to be something much deeper and more real.

  • The first time I heard this song, I felt like the secrets of God were revealed to me.

  • @ClintonSwaim Same here, and about two years later when I finally really understood this, the secrets were truly revealed

  • on hell of a video that reveal an ex-president..and how people react to it

  • Love this song

  • I Love this song and the video

  • @hammer201game The fact that you stated "I love how people hate on Bush" shows that you stumbled upon the wrong Video. I think it's funny that with a song with such a powerful message you focus on the few images of W. Open your eyes Jack*ss

  • @Vicmackey311 the reason why i stated what i did about bush is because i watched this video for the great song. And i read all the comments about Bush. it just makes me mad when people are commenting about Bush and not the song. i just want people to comment on the song itself and Trents emotion he puts into it

  • The "dream" is each individuals own perception of the world and why things happen.. but if we live in this moment right NOW we can escape this dream!!!! That voice in your head is NOT you...realize who you really are and you'll wake up...Thanks Trent, this song changed my life!!!

  • i love how people hate on Bush. But they fact is that Obama hasn't done shit in office!

  • @hammer201game This is from 2006-2007 you idiot.

  • @patsfan753 im aware of that... i was talking about the comments on the video, not the people in the crowd

  • @hammer201game

  • So(¯`♥´¯)•♪•*•♫♥Love'z♥d(-_-)b­♥Music♫•*•♪•(¯`♥´¯)

  • The 4 people that disliked this probably thought it said: dis-i-like

  • Melody is simple, but touching. Lyrics...it's just, there are no words to describe it.

  • In my opinion.This is a better song than "Hurt".

  • In other words you can take the blue pill or the red one...

    Why are they giving that monkey the finger at 3:35? Oh wait, thats George Bush. My bad

  • Amazing... ♥

  • I never seen an artist put so much emotions, genius, quality, meanings in one song. Trent Reznor did it... Thanks to him. This is for this kind of things life deserve to be lived...

  • i still cant believe that how purely a person can define a truth with such an awesome lyrics..

  • REZNOR IS NUMBER ONE

  • awsome just does not even come close to what Trent is words can't dicribe

  • trent is a genius and an amazing artist.

  • would those people stfu please

  • great video!

  • it's weird, nine inch nails changed SO MUCH from the fragile to with_teeth, but I love them both, everything trent does is perfect

  • All we need when everyone is tranced is for some monster face to pop up LOL that would be epic

  • @Venddenta would be fun ^^

  • Comment removed

  • Dang chills!

  • best version, of this song. the sounds and additions in it,.

  • Chills.

    Every time.

  • amen to choking, this song gives me chills after years of listening to it, it's perfect.

  • Great fucking song. Make me choke in my own saliva every time I listen to it. Seriously man, I feel like crying every time I listen to it.

  • he is putting again a stick in the shitty live we are living. But this time really deeeep. The meaning of this song is so powerful, timeless. This should be the last (and the only) song on my funeral.

  • @adambus77 Though I´d still go with Clint Mansells "Death is the road to Awe" on my funeral yours is a good choice :-)

  • @caveman0110 Personally, I'd break the curb of sound and say I'd rather have "The Times They Are a Changin'" by Bob Dylan. But both are good as well. :)

  • 2:40 TO LIKE 2:60 IS PRETTY COOL

  • GREATEST SONG EVER ID SAY

  • one, this is fucking awesome quality, two, this just proves how much of a genius trent really is..this live performance is fucking golden.

  • fuckin AMAZING!!!

  • im going to say this like a man i almost cried when i first heard this song the feeling in the vocals is just so powerful like getting punched in the heart in till this day i still get the same feeling

  • @shiftyshorty12345678 I agree! but what gets me most it what the song is about, its scary in a way how we all forget we are really just animals, not this god like perfect being we imagine ourselves to be. Society needs to wake up

  • Trent at his best!

  • I <3 it !!!

  • just plain fucking awesome

  • AMEN...

  • Makes me chill from beginning to end. I can't even begin to describe how this song makes me feel.

  • @UnknownShadow718 Like a fucking pussy!!

  • @quiquelechuga Yet another asshole who doesn't understand the song.

  • Very thought provoking song.

  • I concur davedarave01uk

  • theres alot to be learned for all of us in this song... this song really touched my heart.. one of the best ive ever heard

  • Chills... Tears... More Chills... Trent Reznor is a lyrical genius... Truly amazing, probably the greatest song I have ever heard.

  • @coryminnig  you are so right

  • God man this song is so fucking awesome. Gotta be the best song I have ever heard.

  • me too

  • makes me cry... =)

  • almost everytime for me. totally brings out anything im suppressing.

  • Even I flipped the birdie to that asshole at 3.34..

  • This song is just unbelievable. I start to shiver when I listen to this o.o

  • love the all the fingers when yeah show bush lol like if he was the one person who make the world shit. people need to start looking in the mirror and ask how did We let it get this far.

    END THE FED

  • I agree with your statement, but we are totally controlled, it would take so many more people to end the fed. Good statement though, Ron Paul all the way :)

  • this man is not of this earth. <3

  • What if all the world's inside of your head

    Just creations of your own?

    Your devils and your gods

    All the living and the dead

    And you're really all alone

  • What if everything around you isn't quite as it seems...

  • This song fits so exactly to "Matrix" =)

  • ... no

  • Can anyone tell me which is this video coming from? From any published live concert I can purchase in a shop or online? If is like that, can you tell me the name of it please? I love it! =D

  • the DVD is called beside you in time

  • "You can live in this illusion...You can Choose to Believe...

  • still one of my absolute fav NIN songs and this live performance just give me the chills! AMAZING!

  • 3:29 is the best

  • haha that's probably my favorite moment of the dvd.....

  • Just wow, amazing.

  • "There is a place in the back of my mind"

  • 3:33 :)

  • goddamn

  • D C Bb

    Gm Bb F C

  • can't wait to see them live in Poznań! I hope they will play that song, because I love it. That;s my favourite NIN's song, it's so beautiful!

  • He Has Changed his style But its Both BADASS, Love this song, Kinda makes you stop and Look back in the past and think about what you want to do with the rest of your life

    ty for posting

    Trent Is a Badass and Will Never Be Topped

  • did anyone besides me attend one of these with teeth performances? at the detroit show, everyone in the audience winced at the sight of bush. it was an odd and surreal moment.

  • the audio boost in crowd is from the original studio track... but the middle fingers are clearly being directed towards bush. now stop debating. lol

  • This song is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

  • its amasing hes still such a great writer after all these years...

  • A little of both- any live recording is going to have things added/removed or else it's not going to sound good. They're also high.

  • The reaction is pointet at G.W, all the fingers pointing to the screen got nothing to do with the studio version, they hate Bush... and for good reasons.

    I love this song and Trent Reznor is GOD to me.

  • yes but what i'm saying, showing the Bush, is something that would certainly make the crowd react. which could then lead to making it sound like the studio version.

  • if i'm not wrong, the reaction to Bush, is a reference to the studio version no? ( pre-recorded crowd kicks in)

  • whoa i NEVER thought of that. that is an amazing connection and i have no idea but good thought.

  • Amazing...

  • Beautiful song and i love the reaction to G.W.Bush

  • This was so beautifully performed. I never get sick of this video and I've watched it over and over for the past few years.

  • actually this is beautiful

  • this song is amazing.

    its not scary... it just brings out those things you push to the back of your mind you don't think about unless you want to think about them... or you avoid thinking about because you would go insane.

    his songs are so philosophical, it's one of the things that makes NIN so unique and amazing.

  • ya weird thing is...i was thinking about life and some other weird stuff about it, after hearing this song, it kinda made me depressed for a month.

  • I get the same way when I listen to this song which Is why I love it I think it explains so many things to me even though it makes me sad in some ways its a relief to know that im not the only person who feels so strongly about life and is not afraid to express that

  • when i first heard this song i thought he was a load of crap but now im in love with it cause i know its true....

    powerful song :)

  • Just creations of your own

  • it is.

  • what if all the world is inside of your head.

  • It's very cool, and of course you can find a deeper meaning to it.. As you can with everything, just as an act of adoration....

  • 3:34 wow hahaha, this song is just amazing n i wish i was in this concert!

  • the man has a powerful approach, he is kinda mean, but he is really good, DUde

  • Trents songs have a message deeper than politics, its something that most of us are afraid to talk about. We fear death so we create these illusions like religion, and gods, and fairy tales. All we can do is hope that theirs something better waiting for us on the other side.

  • this song itself is questioning reality, of course, not even the end, the afterword. this is a frightening look at the absurdity of reality, and a beautifully written one.

  • It's only frightening if you hadn't already figured it out before hearing this song.

  • Well it gave me goosebumps when i figured it out.

  • sooooooooo FUCKING great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • one of the best songwriters to ever live. True poetry for the voiceless

  • Genius!

    Amazing :)))

  • woah.

  • i don't know what you did, but the audio on this is awesome!

    this song is disillusionment unveiled, beautiful and painful at the same time.

    NIN ur makin' us think !

  • theroman (or however you spell it) music adds so much more to it by the way :D

  • I've had nightmares about these lyrics before I even heard this song....an it's still my favourite song!!

  • "Keep on looking but you can't find the woods, while you're hiding in the trees"

    Genius

  • I'm not gay but I'm in love with nine inch nails.

  • i think thats pretty common

  • lol

  • Its amazing how Trent can write crazy fast songs like March of the Pigs and then write a song like this. He is such a versatile musician and one of the most talented and meaningful songwriters ever

  • Grossartig....gänsehaut!!!

    Amazing....

  • this song is amazing:]

    even more amazing live:]

  • this is magic.

  • In a lot of ways this is probably Trent's best slow song. I think the lyrics are even better than Hurt. Everyone can relate to this one. It's just so real and timeless. What is reality, what is possibility and what is time. This song, this is time. This is real and this in Nine Inch Nails. Thank you Trent.

  • it takes a lot to really upset me but when i first saw this the weight of the song against those images made me bawl!! the little girl with the gun to her head just tore me to shreds.

  • this is the best nin song...what an amazing performance. that acoustic sounds exactly like the one used on the downward spiral, too. i don't think this song is really about solipsism- that's a metaphor in the song. it's just about life and the world around us. something for everyone to interpret for themselves.

  • Solipsism ( as it is apparent in the song ) is the idea that the only thing that you can be sure to exist is your own mind.

  • i love this version sooo much

  • I'm really into this song lately. With everything going on in this country today...I just can't seem to listen to this song enough.

  • The video and song make the hair in my back stand.

  • i love nin cds but the songs dont really come to life until you hear them live

  • Who are you to tell that ?

  • oh no! a devil symbol!

    please stop being a bitch \m/

  • That video was perfect. I would like to taake this time to ask that monkey fag (Bush) as now that his presidentcy is almost (finally ) done of what he would like to respond to Trent.

  • oh and im sorry i cant spell to save my life

    (the last comment belongs to me)

  • holy shit this is a good song.....

    iv listened to nine inch nailes my entier life

    ya thats right my entier life...im only 13

    my mom listened to it a lot and iv alwase loved it

    and yes me and my mom like the same music...dont ask

    but ya GO NINE INCH NAILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^,...,^

  • damn, I feel old.

    But NIN is the shit, so I'm alright.

  • Amazing songs...

    Does anyone know how the images are projected?

    It looks like a hologram to me?

  • oh.i get it..seems thrs a thin screen infront of the stage...

    Anyway, this song is sooo amazing...

    I believe its about solipsism...!!?

  • Yeah, that's what i thought...solipsism. But I'm not sure, that seems too dark. I keep listening.

  • whats solipsism?

  • the belief (philosophy) that you are all that exists and all that is truly knowable.

  • what a beautifule song,this version is awesome. trent reznor is a fucking genius

  • Trent majored in philoshpy (spelling?)

    he took a few years just to write that song.

  • 2:31 - 3:35

    Did that not remind you of "Fake Plastic Trees" video by Radiohead?

  • oooh que cabron no tengo palabras... sss solo es mas que un sentimiento

  • i just love the last part, with the monkey. it reminds me of "earthlings", how beautiful things in nature are fucked up by people. and yeah, i know that this doesn't has much in common with the song :)

  • or how beautiful earth is fucked up by a fucked up elite.

  • one of the best nin songs.

  • amazing...better than the album-version imo

  • this isn't the voice i remember

    he sounds different

    great song though and brilliant visuals

  • Solipsism is the meaning of this song guys, please look it up

  • hahaha. Yeah, go anarchy! Not.....fucking degenerate

  • Can anyone tab the guitar part ??? Please tell me, I NEED to play it!

    THANX!

  • My fav part is when Gerorge Bush comes on the screen and all the middle finger goes up!!

  • AMAZING! the video kind of reminds me of the hurt video.

  • Great!!!

  • This song is so beautiful... I cant stop listening to it.

  • this song always gives me goosebumps

  • would if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream....

  • he has been screaming for an hour by now so yes he can my friend

  • Wow, how can you even say that? You obviously don't listen to Nine Inch Nails very often at all.

  • Thats what the song is actually about but Trent Reznor was quoted as saying something to the point of " you can decipher the meaning of this song in two ways, the actual meaning, or the real meaning, your meaning, the meaning out of the window, the meaning of us all"

  • I don't get what are people's obession with finding the exact meaning in every song, like a good poem I think it's better to take it for what it is and interpret your own meaning, Instead of reading what other people tell you what it means.
