This song... oh my god. This fucking song. Definitely on the list of my top 5 favorite NIN songs. One of the absolute best I FUCKING HATE YOU!!! songs I've ever heard. I've been there, Trent, oh I have been there. This song reminds me of my ex every time I hear it. Reminds me of how much I admired him at first but then his dazzling glow began to slowly fade as I saw him for who he really was. He always promised that things would never change but they suuuure did. I fell apart too, and where the fuck was he?!

The music on this track is absolutely mindblowing. It starts out with a simple guitar riff that's very misleading as to what direction the music is actually heading in. It morphs into a heavy drum beat with industrial bassline & guitars. The entire effect once everything comes together is very visceral and angry and gut-wrenching. I LOVE the sound effect of the blades in the middle of the song too. God, this song still gives me chills everytime I hear it even after so many years, truly one of Trent's finest works :D
