Gotta say I <3 Reznor and all his work. He's an amazing dude. But I can't say I fully agree with this one. Life feeds on life. Show me one form of life that doesn't consume from another form of life. I'll bow to you in apology. If we didn't take from our earth we would die off. You all need to stop hating on humans and maybe hate the creator. How could we foresee? But it saw...And we bare the consequences
@AkiaKnox Pardon my late entry but I just looked up this song to see if it had a video on Youtube (I have all of Reznor's cd's on my laptop so I don't use Youtube as much). Anyways as to your challenge, wouldn't plants fit the category? Being photosynthetic the get the majority of their food (sugars) from light. Just a thought.
@TheTernion Plants "eat" carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide is created by living beings. Though, volcanoes do create carbon dioxide..and other stuff that burns. Maybe we need to just become plants <.< all hail herb
@ej646ej Sir, you are gay. and YOUR TIME IS TICK TICK TICKING AWAY! Open your eyes buddy. It's symbolic for the way our country is being run and where things will eventually go. There aren't going to any future children or civilizations. We had our chance and look how ignorant we are? OH, and don't forget about how we are killing our earth.
@ej646ej Everything is about you is gay. Your Mom is Gay. Your Dad is Gay. Your dad jizzed in a turkey baster and shoved it up your mom's pussyhole. That's how you were born. Your whole family is fucked up, dude. Go kill yourself.
@dudeitsjoe wow dude u must think ur real bad dat u can talk shit over youtube pussy!! anyone who gets that offended over an opinion has no fucking life AT ALL!!
@dudeitsjoe dude are we animals or what who talks like that...man is anybody give a shit about their fellow man anymore , watch someone will curse me out for this too. we're mad at the wrong people. We the many need to stand up the few hat run this world and make this place right. They got the guns but we got the numbers yet we stay paid slaves, wake up we , each other , r not the enemy. Man kids see this...nice language
@dabu funny tho.sometimes it is the complete lack of self control and lawlessness that makes us grow.all the activists that helped end segregation and opened up rights for women didnt care much for self control or lawlessness because they had to be seen!lets just hope for better direcion in our youths minds to better society.we cant rely on gonvernment social standards to progress our culture. through our actions does government policy change. social love should always change and progress.
On the day of the warning, the air became unusually chill and cold, death itself whispered in the northern wind. As for all man to see a great cross could be seen across the world and death then came.
This song is in reference to whatever celestial being *(or otherwise) that may have been prophesied to come. Whether it be God or whether it be nothing but man.
@Capaloso18 No, its about The Presence, the god like figure on the front of the album. The Prescence you could say is a observer of Humanity. If you read the viral comic it shows it in the sky aswell. The leaked songs off Year Zero also show it in a spectrometer.
@Capaloso18 I think he's implying that they could possibly be one in the same in this song. Even if not, look at God. Supposedly he flooded the earth to get rid of all the imperfections once before.
just listened to this for the fourth or fifth time today, and then stuck my wireless headphones on, due to not wanting to upset the neighbours, wasn't expecting much when I wzs nicely surprised by this outstanding effort. Cheers :)
Great, BIG lyrics! Thank you NIN once again. I will try with all my strenghts to mutate into human again.
