Lights in the Sky - The Slip - NIN

The lights in the sky, off of the new Nine Inch Nails album "The Slip"


lyrics:
She's mostly gone,
some other place.
I'm getting by,
in other ways.

Everything they whispered in our ears,
is coming true.
Try to justify the things,
I used to do.
Believe in you.

Watching you drown.
I follow you down.
I am here,
right beside you.

The lights in the sky
finally arrive.
I am staying,
right beside you.

I tried to stay away,
just in case.
I've come to realize,
we all have our place.

Time, time has a way you know,
to make it clear.
I have my role in this.
I can't disappear,
or leave you here.

Watching you drown,
I'll follow you down,
and I am here right beside you.

The lights in the sky,
are waving goodbye.
I am staying right beside you

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

I just heard this song for the first time... I have to reconsider the newer stuff... This is beatiful.

This is my theory on why Trent made this song:

His Grandmother. Who had raised such a fine human being.

[awake352]

Simply beautiful. The loud but calm piano, his soft whispers, the intimacy of it. Just gorgeous. Out of all of Trent's work, this is one of the best things I think he's made.

The lights in the sky didn't wave goodbye to 5 people.

Sorry, I had to make one of those lame comments you see on every Youtube video!

Went out with a bomb. This song is sick, you can palp the darkness as he speaks of lights. Very intelligent, able to manipulate notes like no one. Using silences in his musical writing (des silences), don't really know what you call it in English but Trents' music was always good. I am going to see Alessandro. If you want to drive to Montreal, FEW TICKETS ARE LEFT. Telus Theater. Got my ticket almost 2 months ago.

@p00ned0wned Agreed! That was my thought as well. He always was good @ double meanings- allowing the listener to form their own opinion (something he has gotten exceedingly good at over the years)...

But, I thought this was about his grams as well

Time...

time has a way to make it clear.
