To me, this song is about my sexual predator half-brother. He is The Ruiner. He ruined me…my life…my future. All while ensuring everyone would follow him like stupid blind cattle. He had them all on his side. To this day, I’m just the crazy compulsive liar girl. No one believes what he truly is. I won’t be the last victim…evil like that never stops. The only way to end this…is to end HIM.
@TheNightsMoon the album is about religion, the chorus "how'd you get so long, hard etc." is basically a different way of calling all religous figures dicks"
@ParasiteS27 srry i didnt mean this album, i actually meant this song.......but the album is mostly about religion too, often using sexual metaphors as irony.
@wikiporno2 no it is a metaphor to describe the people who fucked him over, he is calling them a bunch of dicks and describing the human aspect of why to his former employers who thought they could put his music in jingles and boss him around. this is what he thought of them.
@wikiporno2 acutely i think the song is about rape so yes he is talking about that howd you get so big how did it get so hard how did it get so long the ruiner fuckin ruins everything if someone raped me i would kill that mother fucker
one of my favorite songs by NIN, yes its about rape. Horrible topic but brushing things under the mat doesn't make them go away, unfortunately.

@ almost everyone If you think that trent reznors lyrics are mostly about religion and sex, you might want to stick to emo rock.

it sounds like it's from the prespective of a rape victim. some people claim trent was raped, as well.
anyway, always one of my fave nin songs, since my early teens. i always thought it was kind of beautiful.

I think this song is about a penus.
"How'd you get so hard? How did you get so long?"
and other suggestive lyrics point towards this.

Based on the lyrics, I think it's about the Obama administration.
