Something I Can Never Have
Eraser

Definitely... The Great Below. I wish trent would make more songs with these kind of abstract lyrics more often.

 

08/20/08 10:54 PM

Right Where it Belongs is a moving song, lyrically and instrumentally. It makes you think.

 

08/21/08 7:31 PM

Favourite line is:

"My lips may promise but my heart is a whore."

that's a good one!

Rapping Trent is Pure win

I agree with previous mentions of Somewhat Damaged. It might be my favorite overall.

I also love Only and THTF...I know they're not *great* lyrics, but in the context of my life at the time With Teeth was released, they were (and still are) perfect.

 

08/21/08 10:47 PM

Gave Up
Suck (I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstasy! - might be my favorite NIN line ever)
Mr. Self Destruct
Somewhat Damaged
The Fragile
Sunspots
Capital G (temperature in Guatemala and me inside you lines are epic win IMHO)

You're the queen and I'm the king
Nothing else means anything



Too beautiful.

In This Twilight
Watch the sun,
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like,
Like it was a friend.
It is watching us,
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder,
If it feels the same?

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better a place
In this twilight

Dust to dust,
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person
If I could only do it all again

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
You will find a better a place
In this twilight

ITT...my favorite. at the moment anyway.

I think my absolute favorite NIN phrase is: Nothing can stop me now.

And others:

I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally
Thought he had it all before they call his bluff,
Found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough.
Wanted to go back to how it was before.
Thought he lost everything,
Then he lost a whole lot more.

The Downward Spiral
He couldn't believe how easy it was.
He put the gun into his face.
-Bang-
(so much blood for such a tiny little hole)
Problems do have solutions, you know.
A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash.

The Way Out is Through
All I've undergone,
I will keep on.

 

08/23/08 12:20 PM

Oh i have tons of favorites!

Something i can never have:-reminds me of my husband back when i couldn't have him
Right where it belongs:- describes the world today
Head Down:-i just feel these words as he sings them
Non-Entity:-beautiful


The piano is the strongest instrument i believe that he plays in his songs and gives them the feeling that makes them beautiful. that and his voice. i wish he could teach me how to play.

 

08/23/08 7:24 PM

As it's the last NIN track I listened to today, I particularly love this;

Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there...We will be there

 

08/23/08 7:40 PM

Right Where It Belongs
Zero-Sum
The Great Below
In This Twilight
The Line Begins To Blur
Lights In The Sky
Reptile
Meet Your Master
Sunspots
Closer
You can have my isolation. You can have the hate that it brings.
You can have my absence of faith. You can have my everything.


Beside you in time.
Now that i've decided not to stay I can feel me start to fade away. Everything is back where it belongs. I will be beside you before long...


I might have to go with almost all of them.

edit: and the collector...
yeah i have to say every single song has meaning to me.

-The Fragile (entire song)

-The Wretched (during the chorus)

-The Day The World Went Away (In his voice I heard decay, the plastic face forced to portray.)

-Right Where It Belongs (entire song)

-The Perfect Drug (chorus...."You are the Perfect Drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug" repeating)

-Head Down (chorus)

-Head Like A Hole (chorus)

-Happiness in Slavery (Slave Screams!)

-Underneath It All (entire song)



I think that covers most of them.

-the becoming
- i do not want this
-hurt
-the great below

the entire fragile album and TDS as well

Hell everything he writes is gold, it's hard to pick out certain songs....

 

08/24/08 2:20 PM

"Nothing can stop me now."

 

08/26/08 1:34 PM

"Head Like A Hole"

"Black As Your Soul"

"I'd Rather DIE Than Give You Control"

"Bow Down Before The One You Serve"

"You're Going To Get What You Deserve"

 

08/26/08 2:04 PM

Head Like a Hole's lyrics are really kinda weak.

That's fine that YOU feel they are weak, so what are you're favorite lyrics?

Or are you just here to criticize other people's personal opinions?

 

08/26/08 7:40 PM

I actually like the lyrics to Head Like A Hole. It's been one of my favorites since the beginning.

I also like...

Reptile:
"Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease
My infection
I am so impure"

"Devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress..."

...

The Perfect Drug
Echoplex
In This Twilight
Heresy
Only
God Given
Somewhat Damaged
Wish
Terrible Lie
The Hand That Feeds
Head Down

I agree with both of you. RWIB is a very beautiful song. And rapping Trent is a win. I have to listen Down In It now. grinning smiley

Too much great lyrics! The list of my favourite lyrics would be 50 songs long. grinning smiley

I think I can connect to that song more than any other NIN song. My secret wish is that TR create a 'Still' rendition of this track.

I'm really into The Wretched right now. My favorite part is...

"The clouds will part
And the sky cracks open
And God Himself
Will reach His fucking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down"

Have to agree with that one. There's been times when it feels like that's happening.

09/01/08 7:33 PM

And All That Could Have Been.
My favorite lyrics forever.

 

09/03/08 5:17 PM

"God is dead, and no one cares! If there is a hell, I'll see you there..."
~Heresy

Those lyrics are so fun to say in normal conversation...

"What if the whole world is inside of your head?"
~Right Where It Belongs

"So much blood for such a tiny little hole..."
~The Downward Spiral

There's more but those are the ones that stick in my head the most...
