This is an amazing song. For a few nights in a row, I would fall asleep listening to it.... and as i layed there, i started to visualize a video and what it meant to me...... It is amazing.

  • In the first verse you hear a car driving followed by silence in the second verse, in the third a muffled crowd, and in the last verse a screaming crowd. Is it just me or is this song Trents thoughts on the way to a concert. Also backing this up, his voice if muffled until the last verse when he "gets on stage," listen you'll hear it. I think if this is true it make this song a powerful look into that man head.

  • yeah, i've heard the sounds you're talking about, but i have a different theory...trent had a really bad cold.... he was on his way in the bus in the first verse (the car sound), then in the second verse, he's in the store and you can hear in the background, a distant siren down a tunnel somewhere (its hard to hear it), then he takes the meds, and his congestion clears up (no longer muffled) and his body now feels better again (the cheering crowd)... lol... i'm just being silly...

  • lol I like my profound theory better. =P

  • lol... so you think its his ride to a concert... so pairing it with the words he's saying, he's basically saying that he being on stage is like an animal on display. he's kinda caged in a way if you think about it. did you hear the siren thing that i mentioned... its hard to find, but its there...

  • Dude. This video is awesome, I'm amazed it hasn't got any honors.

  • thanks... but fuck it... don't care for any honors. its the comments that i appreciate best...=)

  • I'd just like to add, that I first heard this song about 2 years ago (when With_Teeth came out) and fell in love with the lyrics.

    This song says to me that "Ignorance isn't bliss", that whole idea surrounding the red and blue pill. Yes, you can see the truth ("see through the cracks") but would you be able to go down the rabbithole, knowing that you would leave everything behind? ("Would you find yourself afraid to see?")

    Maybe Trent had the matrix in mind when writing this song.

  • my take is that the human species places himself on a pedestal. Comfortably ignoring the problems we create in this world and hoping they go away. We create cages of ignorance and it is our choice what side we are on...we can either see ourselves for what we are or we can live a life of lies and self-appreciating visions of granduer. Most of us are too scared to look at ourselves and what we have become.

  • I love the Animatrix especially Kid's story. I also love love love NIN. I give the ultimate of props to you for putting this together. FOR EVERYONE ELSE: If you have seen Kid's story then you know that this fits perfectly.

  • Very fitting video

  • Awesome video.

  • ive been looking for this song 4 ages i heard it on a game , great song

  • Friggin great video. Maybe a little heavy on the effects.

  • NIN is the shit, life experience man

  • bravo, i rather enjoyed this video. se chanelyah

  • As though climbing a stair only to fall time and again.

  • Great video. Something about the last few notes from the piano and the words on the screen, "you are not alone" kinda gets me choked up. Good job with the video and a great song choice.

  • Also, you should have had the Kid hitting the ground when the song finished. then a five second black screen for impact (no pun intedned there)
