Somewhat Damaged Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Droop 

Cover art for Somewhat Damaged lyrics by Nine Inch Nails

In co-dependent relationships, especially with the inclination of drugs, there is always that mushy pseudo-emotion "we'll always be here for each other no matter what" which becomes a blanket of comfort. Trent seems to be expressing when that blanket is ripped off and cold water (truth) is suddenly and overwhelmingly thrown upon him. The end to this song is such an emotional release.
