Only Lyrics Artist(Band):Nine Inch Nails
Fading away, well you might say I'm losing focus Kind of drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself Sometimes, I can see right through myself Less concerned, about fitting into the world Your world that is, cause it doesn't really matter anymore (No, it doesn't really matter anymore) No, it doesn't really matter anymore None of this really matters anymore Yes, I am alone, but then again I always was As far back as I can tell, I think maybe it's because Because you were never really real to begin with I just made you up to hurt myself I just made you up to hurt myself Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself I just made you up to hurt myself Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself And it worked Yes it did! There is no you, there is only me There is no you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me Only (x4) When, the tiniest little dot caught my eye And it turned out to be a scab And I had this funny feeling Like I just knew it's something bad I just couldn't leave it alone I kept picking at that scab It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut But I climbed through Now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see And now I know why now, now I know why Things aren't as pretty on the inside There is no you, there is only me There is no you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me Only (x8) If you find some error in Only Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Nick Finch for submitting the lyrics. Review about Only my interpretation... | Reviewer: yanga | 2/29/2008 Enjoy the Life, Enjoy the Death | Reviewer: Nathanael | 1/23/2008 Your own life is the ture life that you were wishing for... Live the Life until it ends, and enjoy the way you are leaving it... even if there is no god, no heaven, no hell, it will be a great step for you to die as the way you like and live as you pleased... no matters what the other ones will think about you, just live as you want, and die as you like. (this doesn't had anything about the song, yeah???) Simply stunning... | Reviewer: nailgun | 9/14/2007 Being a slave to corporate America and how we sell our soul for so little... having once stood for something, and now nothing at all... I can totally relate to this song. It's about personal identity. Federico, Vigo , Spain | Reviewer: Federico | 8/29/2007 Es muy profunda y trata de la necesidad de alienarse de los demás para comprender mejor el interior de uno mismo. No love | Reviewer: Roel | 8/19/2007 Well, I just kinda "broke up" with someone and I think this song is about having love for someone who doesn't really love (or loved) you back... So the "you" refers to "the love he thought they had for him, but didn't exist". Just my thoughts... awsome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/14/2007 I was thinking about this song for awhile and suddenly wondered about the meaning. I can see the layer of the song that is referring to freeing your mind from control of others by realizing where and how you see the world (from in your head). At the same time, he starts earlier in the song by progressing through 'being less concerned' to 'it doesn't really matter anymore' to 'nothing really matters anymore', which seems to indicate a progressive growth of apathy. The music even wigs out at this point and gets really intense, listen for the synth. Perhaps he is referring to the mentality of very arrogant and haughty people who see the universe as centered around them, while the picking at the scab of the idea of why and suddenly seeing things may refer to understanding and seeing the nature of such a mindset firsthand. Hence, 'things arn't as pretty on the inside' could be a realization of the beast we carry that often is invisible. The beast being a disconnect from others. This is pretty out there and I was kinda intoxicated when I thought of this so perhaps this is not what hes going for. Just a thought. Awsome song review... | Reviewer: matty | 8/4/2007 this song is so amazing and i can totally connect with it, i also believe that this song can raise alot of questions that people should think about. belief in existence leads to suffering | Reviewer: andy | 7/19/2007 These are great lyrics by Trent. Don't think this track is about God, though it could be considered spiritual. Basically very eastern, wei wu, buddhist, advaita. This is essentially saying that you don't exist, only in a relative sense. Nothing outside of your conciousness exists. You create this world. This life and all you see is just an elaborate dream of your own doing. In fact you don't even need to believe in existence in order to live. Try it and see how much anxiety you loose, when you no longer care whether you exist or not. People make others up just to hurt themselves. Say this World is real and nobody laughs. Say it is a dream and everyone desperately tries to hold onto some glimmer of an objective reality which by its very essence assumes an observer and an observed. The chorus of David Bowie's track from Hunky Dory 'Quicksand' essentially says the same thing: 'Don't believe in yourself, Don't deceive with belief, Knowledge comes with death's release'. Read some Baudrillard or Allan Watts to further your understanding of the greatest illusion of all - the concept of Self! Only | Reviewer: Tekla | 6/15/2007 I agree with Jen the song is about getting rid mind control - whether it's a god or boyfriend GREAT | Reviewer: Vanessa | 5/16/2007 Written like a true poet---full of angst and truth... I've been writing since 1970 so I know when I hear a great, original writer.
