still watch it all the time, it's just right for this song and I never thought I'd find one for this song...it's really perfect for me. Who's the (A) that signs the video? is it you or are you just reuploading the video?
Pretty cool shit, man! At first I was just like, "Oh, it's too blurry", but no - it just got better and better!
Sounds like kind of a stupid question, but where's the Permission Department for Trent Reznor?
I mean, damn, then it's like, why would Trent take the time for lil' ol' me, but . . . yeah . . . thanks in advance if in the future I get an answer . . . I talk too much AHHHH
exactly. my AP biology teacher from years ago said she was good friends with him in high school and that he was always an amazingly talented artist as well as actor. random, but she said he was truly an amazing person
This song is so profound. It has great meaning, but that meaning is left for each person to determine, because none of us have lived the same life, so the meaning is not the same for us all.
so... da in den ersten 2 kommis ein paar fehler waren, fang ich nochmal von vorne an.
aalso:
an alle die so sachen wie "besser als das original" schreiben, ein großes "äääähm".
Weil, ob ihr's glaubt oder nicht, das hier das ORIGINAL ist. Das, was viele als "Das Original" kennen, ist "nur" V2, also Version 2. Ich persönlich finde V1 um längen besser, auch wenn V2 um einiges ruhiger ist.
The song is essentially about "Solipsism" the belief that the only thing somebody can be sure of is that he or she exists, and that true knowledge of anything else is impossible
Um, the people who are implying it was called a remix are ignorant. Reread the title, it states "Video Remix" not "Remix". Meaning that the video is the difference not the song itself. And it even says so in the uploaders comment box.
In any case 'tis an awesome song. Maddeningly haunting.
this is not a remix Im so sick of trying to find this damn version ITS THE REAL ONE IT WAS THE ONE ON THE CD GOD DAMN call it the real version not remix. All the other ones are just someone playing the F#KING piano at their home
This is most definitely NOT a remix, unless by remix you mean you slapped a different vid on the song. Still, it's NIN at their best, IMO. Love this song... it's highly existential and solipsistic.
There were two versions of this song. This is version 1, damn near impossible to find on youtube. For whatever reason version 2 is more popular. I like this one more.
As do I. For years, I had existential/solipsistic thoughts, but was never really able to put my finger on said thoughts. This song helped me put those thoughts into words, and subsequently expand my horizons a bit.
DONT STOP OR ELSE SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN MY NAME IS JENNY I AM 7 WITH RED HAIR MY MOTHER BEATS ME I LIVE IN A CELL WITH NO WINDOWS DOORS AND NO LIGHT I HAVE RED SCARY EYES AND IHAVE NO NOSE OR EARS I AM DEAD IF YOU DONT SEND THIS TO 15PPL B4 U GO TO BED I WILL APPEAR 2NIGHT WITH A KNIFE AND KILL U THIS IS NO JOKE SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U AT 10:22 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERES THE CATCH Send To 15 vids sorry i don't want this.
this song rocks, and this for notwsproductions, you have to stop and think, yes their maybe no heaven or hell but look at the universe as a whole, nobody knows everything about it, non the less anything about it, there is so much to be discovered. There may or may not be another end to life but death but thats the journey we all take to find out for ourselves thats what i believe.
I would conclude that death is similar to what your world was like before you were born, only I cant seem to remember being 3 years old, so that remains inconclusive. Seeing as how I cannot remember my own beginning, my end is still a mystery to me.
Call me what you wish, this song is about people being scared of the truth, we are all goin to die one day and rot, their is no heaven or hell, just death. The second message is to just live your life and dont worry about death until that time comes, because it would be a pitty to waste your life thinking about it. Trent Reznor should be awarded someday in the future for making us see what religion, and our societies tell us not to.
This song reminds me of capitalist American society and how it robs 3rd world countries for their resources and distracts so many people from true happiness.
It reminds me of Solipsismoh wait Solipsism is exactly what the song is about.
its not a song "capitalsit American society" Purchasing recourses at going commodity prices from third world countries How can it distract people from true happiness considering that happiness is purely subjective.
Some people get caught up in the latest gadgets and designer clothes to fill some empty void. Maybe "going commodity rates" wouldn't matter much if people respected other countries and theirs by not shipping jobs over seas in the first place for a better price at walmart. The truth is there would be no reason to fuck over some poor Chinese children or Mexican family, or Taiwanese children, or where ever the best profit would be. We should live within our means and not be so greedy.
did you write this song? Do you go shopping at KMART with Trent? Most likely NOT. So then, how do you know what this song is EXACTLY about? You completely missed the whole point of the song: Reality is just a shared illusion" Quit pissing on others reality just because your suffering from lack of oxygen from being on your high horse.
Um wrong, the entire point of the song is not that reality is a shared illusion, is a song based on the philosophy of solipsism, which is basically The belief that all reality is just one's own imagining of reality, and that one's self is the only thing that exists. Solipsism remember that word kiddo solipsism
Ya, you can call me kiddo if that makes you feel better..(children have an admirable sort of innocence that know-it-adults lack anyway) Like I said, once again- unless you wrote the damn song-(well even if you did for that matter) you've got no basis for telling anyone they are wrong on how they perceive the song. So quit being an assklown and pissing on others parade you old nasty hag of a scrooge.
the visuals are beautiful, man. it reminds me of, i don't know, being trapped in a scarlet womb of your own head, and then it turns out to be a flower. i love it.
This song is talking about everything, about how people put animals in cage's whe God has placed us in one.
That this is all our thoughts, all unreal, but it feels just the same regardless...
though when he's talking about looking through the glass, it always came to mind about the death sentence, because the room is built like a triangle with two windows, on the other side are the 'viewers' watching a man react as a man to whatever his problem is being fed chemicals to "humanly" end his life.
there is a real a really good point to this song if u look up lyrics for it then study what the world really is this song is all about the world being in ur head and it is true
I cannot agree - for me the song is about the fear of life - fear of seeing it as it really is. That is what I have experienced almost marrying the wrong women. Thanks to many people and this song I did not make the mistake.
funny story about reverse solipsism. a college philosophy student went away on vacation. when he came back, his hallmates had sealed up the doorway with plaster or something (and had apparently done a really good job). the student thought he was the one who didn't exist, and everything else around him was real.
great song , indeed, but i must say, if you did that picture, its amazing, and, i draw alot, and i consider myself realy good, but that is just amazing
He probably used a clip for it, but none the less; really good! This is my favorite song, I want it played at my funeral, except the UK version, it's more mellow.
One seconds that motion. Trent's piano pieces work better mellow. Check the Piano version he did of "Non-Entity", it's floating around the ether somewhere...
Beautiful, at the point where it shows a leaf and the lyrics goes "your reflection" (1:24), it somehow made me picture the moment in the animated movie "The land before time" where Little Foot sees his own reflection on the watered leaf. The orange layers remind me of the desolate landscapes of that mentioned film.
All in all, the movie along with the soundtrack create an eerie echoe of sadness, and I love it. Good job on this! ^^

some people dont realize what this song is really about
basically
just think about the matrix
that strange feeling that you feel like nothing exists except in your mind
all the people you know
all the places you've been
its talking about the feeling that everything you know is a lie
