Nine Inch Nails – Even Deeper Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is so easily related to and can carry an infinite amount of meanings. To me it has it's own meaning about my own life.


I woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of my footprints
from where I ran away
(To me is like when I delved into the world of alcohol, parties, drugs, and sex I one day kinda reflected on it and realized where I was and there were like key events and moments that defined my path to this point in my life, like footprints from where I had come from basically.)
it seems everything I've heard
just might be true
and you know me
(well you think you do)
(Partially like everything I've heard about why you shouldnt do what I was doing and how bad it was was true and how everything I told myself really was true. Also, about how my friends thought they knew me, but it was just a drugged up shell.)
sometimes, I have everything-
yet I wish I felt something
(I have everything I made myself believe I wanted, and I'm too numb and apathetic to feel it at all.)

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper
(About me not really understanding how far I had fallen or how bad things had gotten and about how whenever I thought I wanted to get out, I let myself fall back in)
and in a dream I'm a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
and for once in my life I feel complete-
and I still want to ruin it
(About a bad relationship that when i ruined it, was the reason i delved into all these vices where when I wasn't the way I allowed myself to be and he was perfect, i felt complete, yet I still ruined it)
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway

I hear them call
I cannot stay
the voice inviting me away
(I was afraid to face my pain and deal with it and the call of drugs and partying I couldnt refuse.)

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on?
it runs..
(About being hopeless and empty)

Nine Inch Nails – Sunspots Lyrics 17 years ago
"Peel off our skin, we're gonna burn what we were to the ground
Fuck in the fire, and we'll spread all the ashes around"

I think this means shed who they once were, like transform, metamorphose, etc. As in shed our skin, or our past selves, and destroy what we were or who we used to be.

I think Fuck in the fire means like procreate in a sense(not literally) and create something new, and spread it around in place of what was destroyed(what we once were)

I hope this makes sense.

Marilyn Manson – Tourniquet Lyrics 17 years ago
Also at the end it says:
What I wanted, what I needed, what I got for me.
I'm surprised no ones said anything about it.

Marilyn Manson – Tourniquet Lyrics 17 years ago
My personal take on the song, which does not seem to have been offered on here yet, is that it's about a self-destructive, fragile girl the the narrator fins beautiful and wants to help. I think that instead of the love he has wrapped in foil being spoiled, it's about the girl being spoiled and the world ruining her, but he still loves her. He would rather have her destroy him and make her victim his head than to continue on this path of self destruction and no matter what he says to try to save her, she doesn't believe him, so he just continues to allow her to take it out on him rather than herself, and in turn, is her tourniquet.
I know it's not his meaning of the song, but it's mine.

Kidneythieves – Arsenal Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is about a girl who is mad at someone or a group of people or perhaps the world and she waits to exact her revenge. She sits there, cold and calculating, waiting for the opportune moment, and they don't believe her and that she will get back at them. Like:
"quiet and protected
slightly anorexic"
I think she's spending time just plotting her revenge and perhaps forgets to eat.
"(She Waits)
she's a time bomb, with her vibe on
she's gonna use it and surprise them
she's a time bomb, with her vibe on
they'll never know where she got her weapon."
She waits to get revenge till the perfect time, she's waiting to explode and thing's are going her way. She's going to have her revenge one day and it will surprise them. They won't know where she got her weapon is like they won't know how she got back at them so bad.
"they really don't believe her
she keeps it all a secret
found the Golden Muses
doesn't need to prove it"
PErhaps she's told them she will get back, but they don't believe that it will happen, that she's all talk.
She's found inspiration and perhaps is getting what she needs to get back at them, and she doesn't need to flaunt it, she's just going to get them without warning.
"naive little pieces
she thought that they could see her
but soon the Desert Pigs will know
she's holding in an arsenal."
She thought they understood that she was going to get revenge, but they really couldn't because they are too naive, but soon they will know she has sat quietly and gathered up all she needs to get back at them big time and she has an arsenal of ways to get back now and soon she will.

I don't know, I could be wrong, but it's my take on the song.
