I tripped on shrooms to this song. Changed my life. I definitely get a whole new meaning to this song after tripping and listening to it. |

ubertalldude, Strippers dance to Closer.. slowly.
I love this version, it's an angrier, more aggressive version of Closer. I like the different chorus "I wanna fuck you, I wanna taste you, etc." most of all ^_^ |

| Nine Inch Nails – Adrift and at Peace Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
From my view, Trent tends to associate the ocean with death. Analyze the lyrics of The Great Below without listening to the song or imagining it in your head. Do the same with La Mer. Then think of the title of this song. Listen to this song after that. You should realize he's finally at peace from all the pain he endured from his addictions to drugs that he finally got clean of before With Teeth came out. Adrift and At Peace really just seems like a "release" from his pain, or I guess, life. You could compare this to the meanings of other songs on The Fragile, for example, I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally. Much of this album is about betrayal, loss, and pain. In conclusion, this song really seems like alleviation of pain through death and how that finally feels. |

I laugh at you all who think this song is about cops. Going with the concept of TDS, it makes much more sense if you think of it as being about conformity and such.
Mr.Way, I fucking love the BYiT DVD version, except towards the end when Trent just belts out "Whoa-ohhh-oh-ohhh-ohhh" and it sounds like his voice might crack. You can tell he's getting old. But it's still one of my most favorite songs. |

I had halo eight DE and halo eight DVD-A (that's the deluxe edition and the DVD/CD of The Downward Spiral) and neither of those booklets have the lyrics "I am an exit" nor "I am an insect," but the further would make more sense, and after listening to all versions of this song that I have, it sounds most like "I am an exit." My bad.
P.S. MrHahnKitty, calm the fuck down. |

| Nine Inch Nails – In This Twilight Lyrics

I think this song has a surface meaning, a deeper meaning, and then and even deeper [pun not intended] meaning. The surface meaning is dirty bomb in Hollywood, ash and dismemberment and such. The deeper is perhaps references to "The Presence." The lines "and it feels like/like it was a friend/it is watching us/and the world we set on fire/do you wonder/if it feels the same?" and "and the sky is filled with light/can you see it?" suggest that he could be talking about seeing the presence and it's watching us. The lines "all the black is really white/if you believe it" and "and it feels like,/like it was a friend." suggest maybe the presence is actually here to help us or isn't going to harm us, people are just scared of the unknown. Now for the even deeper meaning. This is about perhaps the last day on earth, and he knows this day has come. He speaks of the sun crawling across the sky one last time, and then "and I won't feel again/night descends/could I have been a better person/if I could only do it all again." Finally, he's saying that he can find a better place for his head, he can soon be at peace. |

I agree with Tarcus's interpretation, especially "the individuals psyche turns to an animal like survival instinct of himself/herself at any cost and refuses to see others." |

As for my feelings for the song, I never skip this song, I absolutely love it. I've felt this way about a girl... I won't go into details. At the end when he's screaming (muffled) "No" over and over, it feels like all his emotion and being are being poured out because he knows what she has done to him and what he has done with her have all been wrong: "I am so impure."
The final chorus of the song is my favorite part, the feeling I get when I hear it is absolutely indescribable. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Reptile Lyrics

In the first verse, he speaks of "her" as an evil that let's unsuspecting people into her life and destroys them (in a mental or emotional sense), and then sends them out into the world to breed more hate and deception: "Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within."
In the chorus, it seems as if he is praising her and what she has done for him, but in a mocking sort of way. Let me clarify this: he is being sarcastic in his praises, saying she is precious and beautiful (how she makes him feel about her at first), but he calls her a whore and a liar (what she really is "underneath the skin"). In the third line of the chorus, "My disease, my infection," he is proclaiming her to be the reason he is so disgusted with who he is. In essence (in the final line of the chorus), he concludes that he is truly impure and has been corrupted by the "reptile" or the "liar."
In the first two lines of the second verse, he explains how "devils" praise her and how "angels" are hurt by him. This is showing that the reptile is deceptive, she has twisted people around her finger so that she is thought of and seen as good, while he is seen as the evil one. In the next two lines, he realizes he has reached a point where he can no longer recover from the wounds the reptile has inflicted in him. He is falling into despair and the only way he can lessen the pain is by hurting others.
The chorus repeats three times through the rest of the song. It climaxes at the end, you can hear the pain and emotion in Trent's voice: he is pouring his whole heart into making the truth of the reptile known.
This is just my take on it, line for line. |

pinion7, I find this song has quite a different meaning when I listen to it.

I saw Self Destruction, Part Two on here, so I figured I'd add in "Final" as well.
It's basically "The Art of Self Destruction, Part One" combined with "Self Destruction, Part Two" into a longer, final version, which is over 9 minutes long.
As for the "Falls wanking to the floor" and "Wanking" parts... well it's just some random line from a David Bowie song that's thrown in there. |

Ragnarok2128, I don't hear "I didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me."
In he parts just after the first and second verse, during the chorus, and in the part just before the ending "You didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me" lines, in the industrial segments of the music, it sounds like "didn't you, didn't you, didn't you, didn't you" in reference to "you had all of them on your side, DIDN'T YOU?" etc, etc, etc. |

I love the lyric "Flew too high and burnt the wing," alluding to the Daedalus and Icarus myth, in which Daedalus creates wings for the two to escape from Crete with. Icarus flies to close to the sun, and the sun, in turn, burns his wings, and he falls crashing to the sea. |

I skip this song 95% of the time, I really don't like it for some reason. It seems rather out of place on Halo 9. I like .Three.Lefts.'s interpretation of it, but it just doesn't meet the standards of Trent's other instrumentals. |

Though the music sounds industrial, I get the image of an endless snowscape when I listen to this song. Everything is white, a nothingness really. I feel myself completely alone in a cold, desolate land. That's what I get out of it at least... |

I love the video:
The camera slowly moves into a public bathroom, then down a toilet, into the pipes, flowing deeper and deeper into the sewage system, then when the music peaks we see the pipes flow into a man (who looks like he's wearing a full body scuba suit). The reason is reminds me of a scuba suit is that the pipes look like his snorkle--he is breathing in all the sewage and shit of the world.
Absolutely brilliant. |

I get definately get the faceless army of evil feeling from this song, but not so much related to the Nazis, more so in a middle east sense. If you've ever seen the movie "The Mummy," when Imhotep has that mob of followers flooding the city looking for the main characters makes me think of this song. |
