| Nine Inch Nails – Gave Up Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
@[doctorsdolittle:8575] This part of the song is about a learned, repetitious behavior, trowing everything away by lying constantly. "Look through these blackened eyes, You'll see ten thousand lies" |

| Nine Inch Nails – Gave Up Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[Kilaelya:8574] It's using sexual terms to describe something different, just like most of Trent's music. Trent often uses themes of sex, domination/submission, and loss of innocence to describe, well, just about anything really. In the 90s it was drug use to escape from the truth, now it's more political. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Gave Up Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| This song relfects an overall attitude towards life. How the main character always gives up on everything, throwing everything away. The repitition of "I tried, I gave up" demonstrates this to us. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Last Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Trent is singing from a personal perspective here, I think. He's fucked up and he knows he's getting back to the bottom, it's about a bitter joyride to the bottom. The last part is how he feels he needs to be treated, since he's obviously such a piece of shit. |

| Icon For Hire – Only A Memory Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This song comes across as a heated conversation between two people who have lived the exact same history. In many ways it reminds me of many of my experiences with DID. The accusation and denial that the others are there, against the quiet but increasingly frustrated reassurances that they are really there and they've got my back. | |
| Icon For Hire – Pieces Lyrics | 11 years ago |

This comes across as the accusations of those around her combined with the voices in her own head. When you're dealing with a mental illness, a person in many ways can hide it very well and look so put together to everyone around them. But when a person is with themselves and they only have their internal voices and people to talk to, shit can get very accusatory. In addition, the worst thing to tell a person dealing with a history of abuse is "get over it". As though it's just that easy, just miraculously healing from years of trauma and decades of the aftermath. |
