| Nine Inch Nails – Only Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
My interpretation: The protagonist is becoming an individual (or someone unique) and getting out of the mold society made for him. He begins to see all the other people and realizes that they still live their lives in conformity in "their world" and how most of them fail to realize or understand how they were limited by the system. That's why he feels alone. He's the only "real" one, the only one that sees that. He doesn't want to fit into this world and have his creativity and potencial limited and live a life how the system wants him to. We're all part of the system, we created the rules in our society, that's why he calls it "your world" by the way. He kinda gets solipsistic for a moment there ("there is only me"), because it kinda looks like everything but him is fabricated, perhaps not by his mind, but by someone. So by getting out of the mold and realizing that, he sees himself as the only real one. The last part makes me think of someone picking at a scab that is actually a doorway, entering this doorway and getting inside of himself. And by doing so, seeing himself like he really is and realizing it's not that pretty. |

The correct lyrics (just a few minor corrections): Wherever you're going I know you knew That nobody cuts me Quite like you do And i'm gonna crawl Not that it matters Nobody bleeds the way I do Wherever you've gone I can follow The path of destruction You leave like crumbs And i'm gonna crawl I'm gonna scratch and claw Though i am broken, i still breathe Whoever said? No wind, no rain, no conversation Can bring you back alive I got it bad and i won't sleep Until i breathe the sweet perfume You love You're gonna crawl, my precious I'm untethered Waving in the wind like feathers Feel you near me, disappearing If you take me, you better kill me Break me, steal me If you don't kill me I'm gonna crawl, til you crawl Crawl like them all, my precious I'm untethered Waving in the wind like feathers- Crawl, my love- |

| Nine Inch Nails – Vessel Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I believe the title "Vessel" stands for blood vessel, and the lyrics talk about some drug or something taking the person from within and transforming the person into something else. Something like ascending to the heavens maybe. Or perhaps it may be about suicide, because the person don't care if it is right or wrong to do it. I found it interesting that the song contrast with "Me, I'm Not", which is the next song. It contrasts in the way that the person in vessel wants the transformation and wants it quickly (Can it go any faster), but the person in me, i'm not seems to not want it to happen, altough i think he doesn't want to stop it either and just accepts it, but asks himself if it can stop. | |
