on the fragile... i heard that Left was about the death of Trent's grandmother, Clara. So, my interpretation of this song must fit the enterpretation of Left. Trent said himself on the NIN site a couple of days ago, You don't build a house a room at a time, you design the whole thing, then get to work. If Left is about the death of his grandmother, TDTWWA is about the day he found out that she was terminally ill. The plastic face is the doctor revealing to Trent and his Clara that she is going to die. When he knew she was terminal, nothing else mattered, the world went away. I can only imagine that a moment like that would burn deeply into Trent. He would write a song about that moment. The albumn moves on to The Frail, a song devoted to his grandmother...
