The day my world went away, Dec 18, 2009. I lost my job, then after caring for my dad the whole year of 2010, lost him. The world is a harsh place. If you havent worked very long you are considered unhirable. What do you do then? Instinct takes over. Its 2012 now and close to the ends. You suck the world in and take it for what its worth.
This song (to me) describes the way the world has, and always will be. It's the realization that the world never was.. and that awakening is the day the abyss steals the world you thought you knew. I don't know you, and you dont know yourself-- I don't know myself. All I know is that I don't want to fall in with the Others.. so how can you Be and not fall in with the Others before you know who you really are?
@mirnersa- relax.... no one really cares about who you really are.... there so busy trying to manage their lives that they have no time to consider anything else.... red waters....
in which record is this version? this is in my opinion the best of all versions....has the quietness of the still version....the voices in the last verse sounds like the walls in my room came to life....
@MyArcady Check out Steven Wilson and the entire catalog of Porcupine Tree. You may not like everything but you will most certainly find something that will suit what you are looking for.
@MyArcady Start your search with Steven Wilson's "Harmony Korine" track from Insurgentes. Listen to the track 5 times and you will never look back. Stay thirsty my friend!
I heard this song after my dad died in iraq when i was like 11. I couldn't help but cry. That was the day my whole world went away. That is when i started to realize how corrupt our government really is. Look at what Bush accomplished. Look at Obama Now. America is falling apart. We hide behind this small insignificant thing we call our life while our world is going away. What sucks is we cant do shit about it. Fuck politicians.
@darian617 course we can do shit, you having the notion in your head that you cant do shit about it is what politicians want. You go on the news all the time and they will say NO its not possible, NO this , NO that. Fuck it man, just take a risk, be smart and do what u gotta do.
@kingsmiles1 hey man, if he's gonna come here and bitch about not controlling who's in power in a democracy, i think he's entitled to a little criticism
@darian617 im sorry for your dad..we can do everything about it. let the passion take you higher. use it as a stepping stone to accomplish things that others cant. let other feel what you feel and lets start this game over *reset*
@darian617 We're all victims of ignorance. Educate and arm yourself with true knowledge and use that against the corrupt corporation currently known as the World Government.
Saying that you can't do anything about it, and not doing anything about it just puts you on the side lines, waiting for the firing squads once everything else has been taken.
@bmgsantos There was no disrespect. I understand. this is the one thing that makes me hate our government the most. From my POV it was insignificant to begin with. I understand "american pride" and the hate for insurgencies after 9/11. But we have technology, that they don't. Why sacrifice irreplaceable human lives? Be that life physically or mentally? Im not saying nuclear devices are the best route, as many other innocents could be killed.
@darian617 Let's leave one each other with their own beliefs.
We can't have democracy or incute democracy just because we think that is the perfect way of living.
Every time we make conclusions like that it's because we are not seeing the real consequences of making that decision.
One of mine POV is... There isn't a perfect way of living and that's the truth way to see people and what they are as society. We are not perfect nor everybody has to be or live into the American spirit...
@bmgsantos If you think about it, there are consequences for EVERY action we take part in. Be it good or bad. And i agree, there is no "Perfect Way" to live whatsoever. When people say "The American Dream" it makes me sick. What a joke that is. There are people all over the world living with so much less and still getting buy without complaint. We find democracy as the perfect way of life because we were born into a country filled with capitalism. The way i see it, our Gov. Is all about lies.
But why US keep thinking that has to police the world...?
If the US keeps on doing "wars" without a real cause, those actions will seem always meaningless to the true valor of the any army and what be should pursuit...
The latest conflicts that US have been, your government has used the "peacekeeping motive" to disguise what really want to obtain, which is profit and control.
@darian617 Ron Paul 2012 is all I can say about that. If they had listened to Ron Paul then your father and thousands of others would still be alive today.
This song can mean so much...For me it speaks about how folks can say thing like they'll be there for you , but in the end those words were empty , and the world they lead you to believe in shatters when they stray away...
new poem Demons come and take my heart Admire the scars in my arms my soul is dressed in red let my cold lips chant your calling one more time my broken wings flap one last time as I crawl in my emptiness let my blood be the road to you let my soul seat next to me penitently as I wish this blood flow would not to stop a tear and a decaying body left behind are the only marks of my time
Can we not just enjoy this for what it is, and let the song stand on its own, without all this squabbling, musical snobbery and classification.

new poem Undress the star Like a razor caresses a vein Your screams fill the air Like a leaf shaken by the wind Fresh smell of blood Fresh lips unfed Your arms turning red like a sunset Their lips shaped like a raven diving into the sky Their rage tamed and dressed By your scar
What are you going to do about anything you weakling. Your not worthy of being called a pansy! If you had to live the life I was born into you would have killed yourselve/s and how could you know? Don't tell me to calm down unless you can give me life,through coin or love or some salvation... can you give me that? Don't be so eager to deal out judgments on people with your suggestion/s. I could say "fuck you what,do you know?" or I could take solace in that ur another idiot lacking understanding
new poem Mirrors on fire My images are opaque Wings of razor I bleed each time I reach for the sky I turned the sky into stone The altar of my anguish The stars my bleeding wrists Under their dust I spread my wings This constant pain Is keeping me discolored
I don't know how Christmas day started so well and is ending so badly. If this day turned out this way... this most meaningful of days... I can't bear to think about what the rest of this life is going to burn like... I dont think its a matter of importance wether I live or die... and death I welcome soon soone as it may lay hands on my body! in the way of the Lord that is just. He must choose one of 100000 reasons why to condem me. Or he has begun to condem me with all.theWhole worldSucks
@dracosummoner No sir it is not.... but indeed I thank you for asking,if you ask truly and this is not a sarcastic remark. I'll choose to believe your genuinely curious about the fact,so therefore I return the care upon you;how are you... is everything ok?
you know i had no idea thta this was the first version. I thought the one used for the terminator movie was the original. i like this version! its very relaxing! :)
Sadly, the best part is AFTER the lead singer shuts up. APC and Nine Inch Nails are "good" bands.... not "great." They fuck up a lot of what could be "great" songs by being whiney assholes. Fuck 'em.
@fbrdj thats because 'emo' WAS a terrible fad... most emo kids weren't even born when trent was rocking pretty hate machine in 1987. this man is a musical hero to anyone with ears... he will forever be the heart of 'dark' music, forever.
@tohellwithpurplepeop if we're talking about those black eyed kids, then yep. But real emo was/is great and has survived these copycats. Btw. this song is killer, so are nin.
People do not listen to Nine Inch Nails to listen to how great or bad Trent Reznor sings, Its like complaining how a Disney animated movie doesn't look "realistic". For all you who are only interested in a cult of personality, there's tons of others you can look up here. Let NIN fans appreciate the MUSIC that Reznor creates.
new poem Kill me Erase me Allow me to be the star of this oblivion Bury me Hide my desires with a scent of a rose Cry for me as if you knew me In tears acknowledge what I have achieved Justify my departure As the mannequins know what they are selling Throw me like I was a spit Erase me from your busy life Like an elderly object in a nursing home
@Fernandoandretn Nope, it's a quiet version, from Halo 13. The one that starts of with Trent singing NA NA NA NAH. LIke the guy below said, it's just past that singing section.
If you can find the Quiet version that starts out with trent going NAH, NAH NAH, NAH NAH its the same song past that part. I havent found this above version without the singing in the beginning, (which i find annoying)
new poem Life paved by superstitions Abandoning the pain this body has endured The tears are finally drying Cutting flowers before they bloom I have the razor among my wrists As your voice still whispers in my ears Slowly warm water turns red Like the sky during sunset You can mock me and insult me again But I have finally closed the door from you You better pray that nothing exists Because if it is does I will be The self mutilated demon Haunting you tomorrow
Trent Reznor is an absolute lyrical genious......not to mention he is a one man band (except for live) He plays guitar, sings, drum machines, and bass, all by himself....and he has been around since late 80's thats more than 20 years.........there is noone else like him. He is complete Industrial to all of those who question it. He was out way before "EMO" was even heard of. Yes his songs are EMOtional, very emotional, but that is where the line is drawn musically. musical genius. :)
new poem My hate goes deeper then the hole I am digging Sweat like a morning rain is gently falling down As the dirt is covering your lips We were never meant to stay alive The bruises on your neck Look like a necklace of falling scars As I make a wish upon each one of them While you are going to the silent place I am here pushing dirt Can you still hear my voice like A cloud would hear a prayer Gasping for happiness With a rope I am going to the silent place
Can we not just enjoy this for what it is, and let the song stand on its own, without all this squabbling, musical snobbery and classification. Gothic/Industrial/Emo - the're just words and are so vague people can barely decide what they even MEAN - never mind what actually falls under which catagory.
Let's just call this "The Day The World Went Away" and appreciate it for what it is, not what it 'should' be called....
new poem So many opportunities Are gone like dry leaves So many dreams We have forgot to dream Tell me tears If you were sincere Did you come out to the world alone? Were you dressed up with anger? You did not reach the ground Was it a caring hand or a fist that grabbed you in the air? Always looking down Are the shadows of people friendlier than their masks? Turn on the TV again Do we always have nothing to talk about?
new poem Like a cold statue I present myself to the sun Angels made of lead Are sinking in the sea of my emotions They lay at the bottom Trapped in the dark With the images of what I wished to be Waiting to be buried under dreams’ dust Meant to be forgotten like An old picture from a cemetery never replaced When hope is burning Instead of candles And people are buying their salvation Fear their interpretations Resell their salvation It is not the sky that I fear
This Album... "The Fragile" was the last thing that my brother Anthony gave me before he died. He gave it to me on my 21st birthday... exactly 7 days later my grandmother told me Anthony was dead, chased a bottle of pills with a bottle of a Tequila Rose. This was November 11, 7 years later, my grandmother died November 11th, which was also her birthday. Sometimes the music is more than just the words and the lyrics. I must have listened to this song on repeat for a month strait. Phoenix do rise.
@stolkalforhire shit happens for a reason. take it from me, in and outta jail, on my way to prison for heroin possesion. figure out who u are, your experiences make you. be real. be safe.
@stolkalforhire Ya know....I feel yer pain bud....Dun sweat it. your grandmother and brother are in a better place...I know it's been over 7 years but the pain will never subside...
My brother's best friend who basically I adopted as a brother ended his life back in 2000 and the pain still lingers with me and my older brother, considering he saw him...
@stolkalforhire im sorry, this may sound crazy, but maybe your family is being linked together in a certain fashion, kind of like a reunion, somebody joins another that is passed on November 11, coincidence or fate, this song touches me and it sounds like you too, stay strong brother, make sure to take good care of this album and hold it as a memory of your brother
@stolkalforhire So sorry for your loss. My sister gave me this single for Christmas years ago. It was the last thing she gave me. She didn't die but she is a took a different path in life and she is very different. So in a sense part of her did die and that sisterly bond we had is gone too. I too have listened to this song on repeat for hours on end.
@niggahigga123able Linkin Park is not emo, it's Nu-metal and Rap Metal, emo is something like My Chemichal Romance or something like that but Linkin Park is Rap Metal or Nu metal.
new poem Sleepless night As I confront myself in my bed of pain I take each morning as a razor As with each morning The sun rays cut a part of me away I want to cut a little deeper And bite my lips a little harder As I suppress what gives me relief Removing dirt from my memories As I gently wash away my scabs Like an old picture almost forgotten I watch them bleed again I would engrave all the reasons on my chest So you don’t have to hear me explaining
For inspiration on this song he recalled the day his dog past...you all know the one in the Perfect Drug video...skip to my lou bitches and eat some truth.
When I read the lyrics, it sounds like he's talking about a particular person. Though, I think when he refers to "he", he's talking about society itself.
A greek philosopher once said " I will not die, it is the world that will end." Perhaps Reznor is portraying a collective perspective of humanity in a existentialist metaphor.
new poem I want to spit on the sun I want to stab your heart Until my arm gets numb Admire you like a TV channel Delete you Erase you to bring you back To watch your tears coming back in colors again Each feeling an actor of my subconscious As they play their roles in each dream Devoured night after night My digested limbs come back to you
new poem Wasted sun rise Running after other people’s expectations Unreachable dreams Like stars always shining in my face And my screams their sky A confused mirror Is unsure of what to reflect in front of me Glimpse of self-awareness in pain Happy seconds buried by the hours of torment In a road away from light Any moment of happiness Has been chemically induced I took more than what I could handle As I crawl in a pavement made of nails Towards my emptiness
Anyone who calls this emo music needs to go shoot themselves in the foot. Just because "emo" kids listen to this doesn't mean that is what it is. I agree with every last single fucking word jusca419 said. Don't ever call this emo again. You want emo, then take your asses to listen to Fagout Boy. Thanks.
All this talk about NIN being emo or not, does it even really matter? If you like the music then keep on listening to it. But if your going to listen to a certain type of music because of the label it has, then in my opinion theres no point of music at all. Music is the noise that explains the emotions and feelings inside of you. Honestly I don't care about labels or things like that. If NIN really is emo music then I love emo music!
i can't find the mp3 version of this song anywhere! any got a link i download from or a site i can go to. i don't even mind coming out the pockets for this version.
new poem Your need for me Was nothing more than a passing winter My feeling migrated to a warmer place Frozen the parts of me that chose to stay My emptiness will be their grave Bruises under each caress Each time you notice me I shiver Will I believe to the point I bleed? Will I believe in heaven so desperately? Even though it will condemn me The taste of blood In a glass after being purified I pled to take more As long as I belong to something
new poem Your need for me Was nothing more than a passing winter My feeling migrated to a warmer place Frozen the parts of me that chose to stay My emptiness will be their grave Bruises under each caress Each time you notice me I shiver Will I believe to the point I bleed? Will I believe in heaven so desperately? Even though it will condemn me The taste of blood In a glass after being purified I pled to take more As long as I belong to something
new poem I would burn everything Under a rain of ashes I would wash away my thoughts With a razor among my lips I softly kiss my skin As my tongue tastes my metal Lips are dripping life like the first spring bloom I never cared for the panorama of life More than once its beauty has pushed me away Like a piece of dirt under someones nail Pieces of skin are falling into the ground Hidden cuts never have to explain themselves Even if they burn like a familys silence
i remeber the ice storm here in kentucky it was pretty extreme short on gas and food no stores where open and if they were they had nothing you needed yep that was the one time we had to keep our guns loaded cuz things was getting out of hand
You don't find original sounding bands like NIN anymore. Bands these days are so generic and unoriginal that it's difficult to tell them apart, and they have no substance.
yeah, 21th century sucks if u compaire ith with movies&music from the 90's, 80's etc. nothing is original annymore and almost everything these days is with computers.
Well, that's only true with the bands that are marketed to mainstream consumption. There are a couple select bands around today that don't sound like shitcock.
@Markohoppis Well, it depends on what you mean by "today". If you mean active bands that are actually still producing music at this specific point in time, I guess you could include Cage the Elephant, and Stone Temple Pilots (which will be releasing an album in May).
Stone Temple Pilots was more famous in the 90's, and they broke up for a few years, but they're back, which is goddamned awesome.
god is an astronaut, mogwai, this will destroy you, jesu, explosions in the sky. if you're looking for original and fantastic bands of the 21st century.
@Markohoppis Get out and look...Thank you douche bag for just proving the point if it ain't easy then why bother ...right? Get out on look for music it might be the one thing fucking MySpace is good for...
@Markohoppis For the most part, I agree, but there are some stellar gems out there. Coheed &Cambria and Muse are the first two that I think of. Of course they're not in the same style or anything like that, but their talent can not be disputed. But, yes, I would love to hear a group come around and bring something unique and powerful to the game like NIN or Tool again.
Will somebody please make the original non-quite one? It would much appreciated

What are you going to do about anything you weakling. Your not worthy of being called a pansy! If you had to live the life I was born into you would have killed yourselve/s and how could you know? Don't tell me to calm down unless you can give me life,through coin or love or some salvation... can you give me that? Don't be so eager to deal out judgments on people with your suggestion/s. I could say "fuck you what,do you know?" or I could take solace in that ur another idiot lacking understanding

Sadly, the best part is AFTER the lead singer shuts up. APC and Nine Inch Nails are "good" bands.... not "great." They fuck up a lot of what could be "great" songs by being whiney assholes. Fuck 'em.

People do not listen to Nine Inch Nails to listen to how great or bad Trent Reznor sings, Its like complaining how a Disney animated movie doesn't look "realistic". For all you who are only interested in a cult of personality, there's tons of others you can look up here. Let NIN fans appreciate the MUSIC that Reznor creates.

Would you mind sharing a dream
Teaching me a true smile
My heart is an inhabited planet
Grab my hand and let’s go there

Undress the clouds
Handcuff the stars to the moon
As we lie down staring at the ceiling

Trent Reznor is an absolute lyrical genious......not to mention he is a one man band (except for live) He plays guitar, sings, drum machines, and bass, all by himself....and he has been around since late 80's thats more than 20 years.........there is noone else like him. He is complete Industrial to all of those who question it. He was out way before "EMO" was even heard of. Yes his songs are EMOtional, very emotional, but that is where the line is drawn musically. musical genius. :)

Can we not just enjoy this for what it is, and let the song stand on its own, without all this squabbling, musical snobbery and classification. Gothic/Industrial/Emo - the're just words and are so vague people can barely decide what they even MEAN - never mind what actually falls under which catagory.
Let's just call this "The Day The World Went Away" and appreciate it for what it is, not what it 'should' be called....

This Album... "The Fragile" was the last thing that my brother Anthony gave me before he died. He gave it to me on my 21st birthday... exactly 7 days later my grandmother told me Anthony was dead, chased a bottle of pills with a bottle of a Tequila Rose. This was November 11, 7 years later, my grandmother died November 11th, which was also her birthday. Sometimes the music is more than just the words and the lyrics. I must have listened to this song on repeat for a month strait. Phoenix do rise.

When I read the lyrics, it sounds like he's talking about a particular person. Though, I think when he refers to "he", he's talking about society itself.
A greek philosopher once said " I will not die, it is the world that will end." Perhaps Reznor is portraying a collective perspective of humanity in a existentialist metaphor.

Anyone who calls this emo music needs to go shoot themselves in the foot. Just because "emo" kids listen to this doesn't mean that is what it is.

All this talk about NIN being emo or not, does it even really matter? If you like the music then keep on listening to it. But if your going to listen to a certain type of music because of the label it has, then in my opinion theres no point of music at all. Music is the noise that explains the emotions and feelings inside of you. Honestly I don't care about labels or things like that. If NIN really is emo music then I love emo music!

You don't find original sounding bands like NIN anymore. Bands these days are so generic and unoriginal that it's difficult to tell them apart, and they have no substance.

@Markohoppis Well, it depends on what you mean by "today". If you mean active bands that are actually still producing music at this specific point in time, I guess you could include Cage the Elephant, and Stone Temple Pilots (which will be releasing an album in May).
Stone Temple Pilots was more famous in the 90's, and they broke up for a few years, but they're back, which is goddamned awesome.

But, yes, I would love to hear a group come around and bring something unique and powerful to the game like NIN or Tool again.
