lyrics - Right where it belongs - Nine Inch Nails

NINE INCH NAILS

"Right Where It Belongs"

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

It's not that popular, because there is nobody that is playing nine inch nails, no MTV, no radios. The industry only shows crap to us humans and we have to listen to this crap and most of the people don't even know this music or they have already only shit that the industry want's us to hear. We need a change, we need the old music that actually means something.

i love the smell of mothballs. cold old sheets. like at the grandparents house. its the smell of honesty and death. i love the smell and the feel of being in a hospital, drifting through the halls just after a blood transfusion, half dead. its the only feelings that are real and sincere in life. call me crazy i really dont give a damn. i'm not some stupid kid. i'm in my 40's and have traveled the world for about 25 years. and what i said is the most comforting things i know.

[MegaUnicornBeliever]

What song is at the end?

[sniffercatfreak]

im 14 and been through a bit. attempted suicide, cutter, bipolar. i know i don't have much to be upset about, but when you're this young, everything seems like the end. i miss being simple, not complex. i miss having no such things as stress, backstabbers, bullying, and just generally mean people. this song has remained simple since i started listening 3 years ago. whenever i get upset, i go to this song. it makes so much sense. wish there was more things like this in the world.

@thunderscratch66 Weird I'm 17, and all I can say is I'm kinda the same way. But I also enjoy the smell of fruit snacks, glue, water colors, crayons, and sanitation wipes. It reminds me of being a child, I really love your comment.

[Sp4c3monki3]

Both versions are beautiful!

[awake352]

@TwiddleBugParty It's the song Head Down from the album The Slip, which is free for download on the official nin site.

[abbazabba2091]

@wazzup5222 NIN is viewed by the ones that listen to them.

i wish this track had 6 billion views.

[TwiddleBugParty]

What is the other song mixed into it? I really like it but haven't heard it before.

[TheLucion666]

@TheMrSlater Do you agree or disagree with yourself?? Sometimes you wonder in your head with yourself. Sometimes you have like a split personalities, it's like having the second yourself... Isn't that cut you in the half? Isn't the agreements with other ppl dont connects you as one? Think more phylosophically...

[lateralus528]

@wazzup5222 Because there is no soul, or true feeling left in the world. 

[TheMrSlater]

how are we all one?! that would mean that every comment i've read is from me. if were all one we wouldn't be having this argument.
