Cover art for Even Deeper lyrics by Nine Inch Nails

I think Trent, has a place to get away from things, bad things in his life, troubles and hassles, this being 'the other place' and he ran away from his life. however this place has become 'contaminated' with this thing that runs 'even deeper' and now he dreams of a new 'different' place to get to and get away from things, the end describes his journey there.
