The Big Come Down Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lodair 

Cover art for The Big Come Down lyrics by Nine Inch Nails

The song, according to the Nine Inch Nails Wikipedia (www.ninwiki.com/The_Big_Come_Down), is an unofficial sequel to the song “March of The Pigs”. In “March of The Pigs”, Reznor sings about people whose greatest goal is to watch you fail, people who are willing for you to fall. In “The Big Come Down”, he sings about his decay and addresses a message to the same people who was referred in “March” when singing: “the big come down, isn’t that what you wanted?”; Basically, the song is about failing at some point of your life, having to deal with it and having to bear people who are actually glad for your fail.
