Nine Inch Nails Lyrics

    ------ About the song Closer performed by Nine Inch Nails

when he say's "I want 2 f--k u like an animal' He refers 2 himself as an animal,because he see's himself as soulless.When he has sex w/her, she brings him closer 2 God. She is pure and godly to him. He feels souless(most religions believe that animals are souless). that is why he say"s (like animal.) The closest he can get to God is when they become one. He wants her to help save him because she everything he is not. In his eyes she can help save him from despair, loneliness, and self hatred. This is very sweet, the way he feels about her,even if
the lyrics are crass.

    ------ About the song In This Twilight performed by Nine Inch Nails

My daughter read an interview with Trent Reznor regarding the meaning behind "in This Twilight", and though I don't have the actual text, it is loosely based on a Nuclear Holocaust and the aftermath. Or something like that.

On a personal note, when my father was ill, I always seemed to have this song playing in the car, (The Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D Version) while I was making my daily drive to see him in the hospital. He passed away two days after his 79th birthday. As I listened more closely to the lyrics, I noticed that it (in a roundabout way) could also be interpreted as a sort of funereal farewell. He was cremated and the "ashes in your hair" part holds a particularly closer, deeper meaning to me.

He passed away almost four years ago, but every time I hear this song, I think of my dad.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

    ------ About the song Closer performed by Nine Inch Nails

yeah okay cut the bullshit guys this song is about what ever speaks to you. Some might say its deeper than just sex, some might say it isnt. I think that its about fucking with hate, fucking out the pain. A "stress-reliever" if you will, like said earlier drinking, doing drugs, etc.

    ------ About the song Hurt performed by Nine Inch Nails

This is one of the best NIN songs I've ever heard. I particularly like the quieter NIN songs, but this one in particular is so relatable that it's in a way of its own. I've found that this song has actually helped me through times when I've been suffering from serious depression, and the messages I've picked up from this song have helped me to move on - make the pain part of you, and let it make you stronger.

Thank you so much, Trent Reznor

    ------ About the song Every Day Is Exactly The Same performed by Nine Inch Nails

i started really getting into NIN like last week and i already learned most of the song off "With Teeth" on guitar and memorized the vocals. Trent Reznor can write some fucking lyrics, man. i'm surprised he hasn't written a fiction story. i'd buy that shit in a heart beat haha XD

    ------ About the song The Great Destroyer performed by Nine Inch Nails

Although "god given" is probably my fav song from the album, 'the great destroyer' is also somewhere at the top of the list. Toatally sharing Trent's vision of reality, I always get the feeling that I couldn't name things any better than he does. Wiose bloke.

    ------ About the song Every Day Is Exactly The Same performed by Nine Inch Nails

I just recently was told i should look at taking antidepressants. Started taking them a few days ago. Starting to feel the effects. For the most part it is a numbness. Feeling no love feeling no pain. Sort of just......meh. Cant wait for the full effect.

    ------ About the song The Fragile performed by Nine Inch Nails

This song is great. The way Trent Reznor harmonizes his voice in the chorus almost makes you feel like he's screaming at this girl, but helping her at the same time. If you have not heard it, look it up. It. Is. Spectacular.

    ------ About the song Burn performed by Nine Inch Nails

This is one of Trent's best of all time. The blood-curdling screams. The scraping distortion. The resentment. That tight snare beat. Yum.

And of course, visions of Micky and Malory ripping that redneck cafe to shreds doesn't hurt.

    ------ About the song Wish performed by Nine Inch Nails

I bought this on MC (that´s an "oldschool" cassete tape for the iGeneration) back in ´92 when it first came out, and to this day it gets regular play.

To be honest I don´t particuularly like LP´s or Iconoclast´s version. They´re completely lacking in the "ultimately pissed off beyond all salvation" vibe of the original, and that´s actually a good bit of what makes it so badass.
