Lyric discussion by The Numpty 

Cover art for A Warm Place lyrics by Nine Inch Nails

its the reverse of closer and the downward spiral on the same ablum. In relation to the whole album, is meant to represent the human part of the mind haeping the man in the story make the right choice. Throughout the whole album, the character defied god, killed god, then became god, through sexual and violent acts ("you get me closer to god") As the mechanical voice inside his head tries to take over him and control him, this song reflects where the machine could not reach, could not control . A warm place inside you that reminds you that there is a place inside you that nobody can reach, and nobody can take away from you, the peace and calm in your heart that will stay with you forever. This is the turning point in the album - just as the mechanical side of the mind starts to take over control, the character realises that he can still make a choice to save his soul - death By eraser, he wants death, in reptile, he wants to feel emotion.by the downward spiral, the mechanical side takes over, but as it does, he takes a gun to his head, to save others, and to save himself.

oh and it has lyrics (in the first fifteen seconds or so "The best thing about liife is knowing you put it together" is repeated over and over)

I just put Numpty's synopsis under this song's lyric section on my iPod. That is such a beautiful thing to read while listening to this song
