This is my first Nine Inch Nails song and is definitely one of the BEST songs ever made both musically and lyrically as a whole song!!! It had such big impact on me that first time I listened it I never before felt such strange(great) kind of impression ever before!!!
Its just a TRUE artistic masterpiece!!!
I so understand Trent's feelings in this song, its like really 100% by my taste...
Now, I think that this song is simply one artistic and symbolic way of describing the life...At least I think so cause I think this song is living description of my mental life...
He is depressed so badly that's indescribable and all the hopes and prays for better days, for far aways, are lost and then he sings to someone else whom he hate(who's btw responsible for one piece of his depression) "NOW YOU KNOW! THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE!"(god such a phenomenal chorus!!!) and kinda symbolically revenging to him..
And then that:
"and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be"
It describes sudden and strong sign of hope where he finally is kinda freed but that person which he hates is just started to go through what he went and he again revenges to him when the chorus starts again...and as the song goes to the end everything backs to normal and he's life 'started again'...
You all should definitely watch the anime music video with The Wretched its called "The Cursed" thats where I first heard this song...and it impressed me sooooo much its indescribable(ok I said that already once :D)
