yeah...BUT, I get my food stamps FOR FREE and goofball dude you talking 'bout had to go and pay for his houses, just like a little sucker! I WIN plus, if you count how much i stizzeal, um...aquire I mean, I win even more! How can you say I'm poor when I haven't even paid for anything? Five Finger Discount!!!
make way to much of this.. how many folks look at the mona lisa and wonder what her chichis look like? in the end niveks twin wants YOU to buy his shirt... when you check how much you got left in food stamps... he checks out how many houses he owns
Even before Trent Reznor helped produce the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack, I always thought this song fit Fincher's personality to a tee. Hell, ALL of NIN's music is good for a Fincher film!
I grew up to this music..My dad constantly had NIN playing away on home and car stereo. When I listen to NIN now, it takes me back to when my Dad was alive and I was safe with him. It touches me somewhere inside this music. Love, Love, Love it!!!! (This is my partners you tube acc!) Taara :)
this song is about who is trying to suck his own penis but he cant reach so he has his ribs removed and still cant reach and he realizes its not his ribs, his dick is too small
This sounds EERILY like Public Image Ltd.'s "Vampire," an unreleased track from Flowers of Romance. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself. Youtube "Public Image Ltd. Vampire." And get this: Trent Reznor is good friends with Martin Atkins, who was the drummer of PiL. Coincidence? Probably not.
No the song is about realizing and actualizing the "I Am" god or goddess within. I Am the be-coming. Maybe people go manic for a reason... Just hand yourself up to the Lord of Hosts and he will manifest positive change in your life.
And the truth is everyone is a little bipolar, if they weren't they would be an everyzero.
Music is not bad today, you need to look in the right places. Its not the same system as it was in the 1990's. The industry has changed.
Lots of people doing exciting things trying to move things foward. there was a dip for a few years last decade.
Things have not devolved, in the late 80's and early 90's saw true birth of electronic music and equipment was being produced. everyone began to see and take advantage of all its potential. This just happened to be produced during that time.
seriously whats with all the guesswork about what the song is about. trent has said this album was about him. he was suicidal. there is nothing to guess about, and if youve ever truly been on the brink of suicide this than the nature of the whole album becomes obvious
the song is about being lost inside yourself, destroying yourself mentally and realizing that your losing your sanity. the subject is suicidal and this song is a sort of cry for help.
@hundhun17 because most popular music sucks today and there's been no progression or evolution in music all this time. If anything, everything has devolved.
Being exposed to too much pain can create an immunity to it.... it's not the right way to go, try and prevent the suffering of yourself and others, don't turn a blind eye to it.
@turkeygod I think, despite the negative sound and lyrics of this song, it had a very positive message. He is overcoming physical things, like pain and fear. He is becoming something greater.
@lucapomi No way, dude..Absolutely not. Last, Happiness In Slavery, Eraser, Reptile, The Downward Spiral title track (just read the lyrics), and Somewhat Damaged blow the level of violence in this song out of proportion. This song sounds more paranoid than violent to me.
This song is about a man who has been gravely harmed (emotionally) and has changed as a person. In order to cope with his pain, he has become 'machine-like.'
This song is about the tinnitus that Trent Reznor suffers, as do I.
It's about how it's trying to kill him, and he feels that it strengthens him. It has tried to kill me as well, but in the end I have become stronger; a savage.
FUN FACT!.....the screaming sound clip in the song starting at 0:24 is from the movie Robot Jox.....the scene is just after the "hero" crashes his robot into a crowd of people crushing them all and the surviving injured are screaming JUST like how they are in this song
Proof: /watch?v=vUxDmKFCD2o&feature=related
or "Robot Jox Fight Scene (Achilles vs Alexander)"
@Mersault1988 Yeah, he references Nietzsche several times in the album. The most obvious is in "Heresy" when he says "God is dead and no one cares." This is a direct reference to the first time Nietzsche declared God was Dead in the square of St. Petersburg.
Anyone else think this is a Stephen King reference- Tommyknockers? Strange machines, "becoming", people who are not themselves anymore, and a horrific sound?
K so he starts the verse off with "I beat my machine", right? Then later on the verse at the end of the verse he says "I am becoming". This song is definitley about masturbation.
@cheetos2579 Yeah didn't Trent say that himself? The whole album tells a story of a man losing his mind and ridding himself of those around him through drugs, religion etc,.
I can tell just by looking at a lot of these comments that these people really have no clue what his songs are about.. they just listen to it for the sound.
To all industrial fans, I need some help: I'm looking for music that sounds essentially like I'm trapped in a dark factory of sorts. You know, the sound that NIN perfected--lots of warbling, clanking, beeping, etc. Very mechanical.
Are there any other particular bands that specialize in this? A LOT of industrial that I hear is very, very dance-oriented, and doesn't sound as dark as this (i.e. "The Becoming," which is the epitome of the sound I"m looking for).
@JeggFilms I'm actually a bit familiar with his work (Analogue Bubblebath, Drukqs, I Care Because You Do). I certainly have not heard all of his stuff, but I know a bit of it.
While I'll say that Aphex Twin is incredible, it's still not what's in my head here.
(I don't mean to sound like a picky jackass--sorry).
@veryangrystorks Richard D. James is an amazing musician. Definitely one of the most unique individuals in electronic music. I'd highly suggest you pick up his debut "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" and "Selected Ambient Works Volume II" Those are ambient classics.
@metalgodess81 Hey. Thanks a million! "War" was awesome. I think an ex-girlfriend introduced me to a few minutes of Wumpscut about five years ago; I didn't think much of it. Now that I'm getting back into industrial, it's time to take a second (and third, and fourth, etc.) look at their work.
@JeggFilms Definitely. "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" and "Selected Ambient Works Volume II" are classics. "...I Care Because You Do" is another good album. Most of what Richard D. James has done is damn good. He is one of the very few artists out that is all by himself. I cannot pinpoint anyone that sounds like him
@timmy11171979 me too...it had a cool sleeve instead of the traditional case. even back then, with something as minute as the packaging, Trent found a way to be abstract.
It was 1993-4 when I bought this CD. This is definitely the standout track for me. I'm a freak in that it still gets my blood pumping; I don’t know why & I know it’s not normal. I’m also like this with plenty of other music from 15-20 yrs ago. Music addiction? I don’t know & don’t really care
Man. When I was a wee-lad, I fucking loved NIN. Yep, way back in ninety two. I was like.....6. And I still love this shit. God damn sometimes I amaze myself with my sheer awesomeness. Most people I know could never listen to the stuff they did when they were 6 yrs old.
@UnitedDiscord LOL! Yeah, by 'killer' someone's probably killing them. Believe this was taken/sampled from ROBOT JOX. Right where a huge robot was falling down a crowd, I think.
@Bostonian91 LOL! Another one told me they sounded like they were having a great time. Either way it was still a negation to my statement, though in totally opposite directions=)
@Kaligulasucks Us holier than thou fans of Trent Reznor can't stand you neither. And yes, we DO still don fishnets beneath our ripped jeans that are tucked into our knee-high boots. That's howz we's rivet it up yo!! ;D
Hi , do you know any album similar to this? , I mean an album with topic about hopeless, despair, hate , were atmosphere is about - there isn't much to do, this is the end-
The most similar I remember is Pornography by the cure , but it's a very overrated album in my opinion, Although it has the darkest song I've heard to this day"One hundred years".
@Tengocuentadeyoutub I actually like Marilyn Manson from the 90s to early 2000s. Twiggy was a good songwriter and Manson himself was quite a good lyricist. Also, Trent Reznor himself was of course closely involved early on.
@Tengocuentadeyoutub I know you didn't ask me, but if you're looking to music to kill yourself to (metaphorically or otherwise) I'd listen to, like, Coil: Horse Rotorvator, Mars Volta: Frances the Mute, Alice in Chains: Dirt, Serj Tankian: Elect the Dead, Type O Negative: Slow, Deep, and Hard (or) Bloody Kisses, Skinny Puppy: Too Dark Park, Ministry: The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, Amen: Amen, Tool: Undertow and although it's nearly unlistenable, Throbbing Gristle: 1st Annual Report
@Tengocuentadeyoutub Try the goth band Lycia and their albums "A Day In The Stark Corner" or "The Burning Circle And Then Dust". And then there's Joy Division's album "Unknown Pleasures". Or even Morrissey's "Vauxhall And I". Plus Stabbing Westward's "Darkest Days", and maybe even Mazzy Star's "So Tonight That I MIght See", and Cocteau Twins "Tiny Dynamine" EP. Give those albums a listen dude. Cheers!
i love how it just goes acoustic in the middle of the song :D

losing ones self
my opinion is that this song is explaining one who made their mind of life
to die, get over it or stay alive a little longer
the later in this case may leave one devoid of emotions like a machine
as for the trouble with the voices that is your self thinking only it sounds unlike your normal thoughts

It was 1993-4 when I bought this CD. This is definitely the standout track for me. I'm a freak in that it still gets my blood pumping; I don’t know why & I know it’s not normal. I’m also like this with plenty of other music from 15-20 yrs ago. Music addiction? I don’t know & don’t really care

Man. When I was a wee-lad, I fucking loved NIN. Yep, way back in ninety two. I was like.....6. And I still love this shit. God damn sometimes I amaze myself with my sheer awesomeness. Most people I know could never listen to the stuff they did when they were 6 yrs old.

those badmouthing the social network soundtrack deserve to join the crowd in the background of this song.

@komunista94 I dunno, man, they sound like they're having a killer time.

@UnitedDiscord LOL! Yeah, by 'killer' someone's probably killing them. Believe this was taken/sampled from ROBOT JOX. Right where a huge robot was falling down a crowd, I think.

@komunista94 nothing wrong with the OST, the movie and Facebook itself do suck though.

@komunista94 That movie, and its concept is flat out gay. It does not deserve to contain the awesomeness that is NiN.

Great way to endure 5 1/2 minutes of a workout in order to disconnect from the environment surrounding you & become the machine you strive to be.

I've never heard anything darker than NIN. Trent Reznor goes above and beyond. I love it.

@nataliemb89 I give velvet acid christ props in in the dark genre but musically NIN is superior.

@Tengocuentadeyoutub I agree. I started listening to this when I was 13, it is by far one of the darkest tracks I've heard to this day.

Hi , do you know any album similar to this? , I mean an album with topic about hopeless, despair, hate , were atmosphere is about - there isn't much to do, this is the end-
The most similar I remember is Pornography by the cure , but it's a very overrated album in my opinion, Although it has the darkest song I've heard to this day"One hundred years".
I would love a recommendation mate

@Tengocuentadeyoutub I actually like Marilyn Manson from the 90s to early 2000s. Twiggy was a good songwriter and Manson himself was quite a good lyricist. Also, Trent Reznor himself was of course closely involved early on.

elgaed69 1 year ago
@Tengocuentadeyoutub I know you didn't ask me, but if you're looking to music to kill yourself to (metaphorically or otherwise) I'd listen to, like, Coil: Horse Rotorvator, Mars Volta: Frances the Mute, Alice in Chains: Dirt, Serj Tankian: Elect the Dead, Type O Negative: Slow, Deep, and Hard (or) Bloody Kisses, Skinny Puppy: Too Dark Park, Ministry: The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, Amen: Amen, Tool: Undertow and although it's nearly unlistenable, Throbbing Gristle: 1st Annual Report

@Tengocuentadeyoutub Try the goth band Lycia and their albums "A Day In The Stark Corner" or "The Burning Circle And Then Dust". And then there's Joy Division's album "Unknown Pleasures". Or even Morrissey's "Vauxhall And I". Plus Stabbing Westward's "Darkest Days", and maybe even Mazzy Star's "So Tonight That I MIght See", and Cocteau Twins "Tiny Dynamine" EP. Give those albums a listen dude. Cheers!
