| Fujiya & Miyagi – Collarbone Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I had the weirdest experience to this song. I was all alone in this gigantic room with a guy, and he puts on this song and asks me to sit down on the couch. It felt like I was trapped in a porno. I'm pretty sure the lyrics are wrong though. The band posted them on Myspace, and I'm sure they said "First time broke collarbone", not "her". |

| Nine Inch Nails – The Only Time Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"I'm drunk. And right now I'm so in love with you" I'm seriously working up the courage to say that to a stranger one day. It has to be true of course, if it isn't it's no fun. I'm in love with every atractive person I talk to while drunk, so it shouldn't be too hard. The song reminds me of the greatest sex I ever had. He actually turned out to be quite similiar to the devil, but he didn't have a car. |

| Nine Inch Nails – We're in This Together Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I have a friend (The Fragile type of girl) who deals with the same sort of problems I've dealt with for a while, and as mine continue in the same intensety her's are only getting worse. I was thinking about this friend while putting my iPod on shuffle, and this song appeared, and I got blown away and teary eyed. I never really cared for the song until then, now I absolutely adore it. Yes, I am kind of a sissy, but this song means so much to me as it gave me hope. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – The Fragile Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
To me this song is about having to stay strong to help someone you care about. She is the most beautiful creature in every way, but is filled with selfhatred. To me it seems that he wants to save her because he never got to save himself. It's a truely beautiful song. I know someone exactly like this. I told her as soon as I made the conection, and in true Fragile-style she is still refusing to see how it could be true. Every single day I try to tell her how utterly amazing she is, because I know she, more than anyone, needs to know. |

| Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
For some reason I seem to be one of the few who took an instant liking to this song. The first time I heard it it hit me hard in face, stomache and chore and I thought "Man, that's exactly how I feel!", and this was after only 30 seconds. To me this is NIN's My Sweet Prince. Yes, I prefere With Teeth, and it has a lot more to offer when it comes to power, intensety and emotion, but they're both often mistaken for love songs (I compare With Teeth to MSP and not the other way because I found MSP earlier, not because it's better). Now I don't really find this strange, as love, in many cases, is just as easily addictive as drugs, and almost easier to abuse. As Trent is a genious, I don't think he was oblivious to this, and used "she" instead of "it" so more people can relate to what he was going through. Now I don't claim to know anything about losing a drug habit, but I do know how fucked up you can get on love, and I know how hard it is to quit. To me, being in a relationship ment not having to be alone with myself. You never have to handle anything on your own, and the world seems less terrifying. Hell, while in a relationhsip you don't even have to love yourself, the other person does. What I'm talking about is the fear of facing the world alone, and while in a relationship or on drugs you don't have to (well, while on drugs you don't have to face the world at all). Now I'm not saying that this song is about fearing the world, because it's obviously about how hard it is to get out of a drug habit. It's holding on to you with teeth. Another absolutely genious thing about this song is how it's devided into two extremely powerful bits with one weak and vulnerable part in the middle. To me it seems that the vulnerable part represents how weak Trent felt while realizing he had to quit, or while quitting, and the intense parts represents the power the drug had over him. The last part might represent both the power of the drug and his own though, it could be a real combat scene for all I know. Still, this song is incredibly sexy. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Meet Your Master Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I am perfectly aware of the consept, and I see political views and messages shine through, but while listening all I can think of is Reznor and bondage. I'm not saying that he was asking for it... but he kind of was. That being said I can see how the bondage conection might have been put there on purpose as S&M has everything to do with degrading another person and making them "a lesser man". Again, I am not saying that I believe Trent wrote this about sadomasochism, but I think he chose to make it sound like he did. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Closer to God Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I always detected a hint of jealousy in Closer, and after hearing this I'm convinced I was right. I never thought of it as a love song, but I think he might have mistaken it for love. I think he idolizes her and is somewhat addicted to the way she makes him feel. To him she is perfect, or at least he sees her as perfect in comparison, and while fucking her he becomes her ("taste you", "feel you", during sex you're so close to a person, if you're not a part of them then, you'll never be. Basically, while you're at it you melt into one, and this is what I mean when I say he's becoming her). He is deeply depressed and can't give her anything but shit, and I think he is aware of the fact that he's using her, and not necessarily just for sex, but for everything she does to make him feel better. I might have lost myself in my own trail of thought back there, but basically (and roughly) I think this song (and Closer) is a more complicated (please, I'm not complaining) way to tell us that he does as Peaches tells us to and fucks the pain away. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Closer Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I remember getting pissed at an old friend for telling me the lyrics were shallow. I never rejected that the subject was sex though, but to me this song is about using sex as a way to handle depression. I've interpreted it as finding someone pure who'll let you "violate" her/him with your own pain, someone you need to make you feel better about yourself. You see yourself as pure shit, basically you hate yourself, but whenever you're fucking this person you forget. While fucking this person she/he let you become her/him, and you believe you're perfect. And no, I don't think he loves her, I think he's jealous of her purity. It's a well known fact that while having sex you produce endorphines, and therefore sex can help you out of depression (to a certain degree), and what might be my favorite lyric of all time "You get me closer to God" might just be referring to a good old orgasm. I beg you not to shoot me for that one, I'm not ruling out any other interpretations and alternatives, it's just the way I see it. It might just have been the part about orgasm as a way to reach God in The DaVinci Code that got to me 5 years ago. No matter what Trent is really singing about (when it comes to him, you never really know, it might have been written about candy canes), whenever I hear this song I think "Been there, done that". |
