Joined: 01/10/08 Location: Minnesota Posts: 36	Non-Entity The sky is not the same shade of blue Every single thing I believe isn't true Missing in the maze of monochrome How did I get here, how can I go home The echoes in my eyes, of all they used to see Burning down the world, the ashes and debris And all that's left to me, non-entity... Try to stand the line, try to obey The ghost of what I was keeps getting in the way Staring at the sun, I'm blinded by the light Now I'm afraid I'm fading out of sight The echoes in my eyes, of all they used to see Burning down the world, the ashes and debris And all that's left of you, and all that's left of me All have washed away, non-entity...

unknown_entity member dreams of my death Joined: 09/06/08 Location: somewhere Posts: 352	My favorites are all of Trent's references to disbelief of reality and alternate perceptions of reality, the possibility of simulationism or other What The Meaning Of Life Turns Out To Be questions. Not to spam the thread with full song lyrics but I will call out some to illustrate this. please- the world is over and i realize it was all in my head getting smaller- and now i can't tell the difference... between what i've been trying so hard to see and what appears to be real home- and it's hard to figure out what's real and what's pretend non-entity- every single thing i believe isn't true -another version of the truth- head down- this is all a dream and none of you are real On it's own merit: everything that's part of Still disc on halo 17 and, Maybe Just Once... pure amazing And lastly, since it comes in many songs, and is perhaps my favorite mantra nothing can stop me now Edited 1 time(s).

Althought i'm not 100% pleased with: Keep on looking but you can't fint the woods while your hiding in the trees Sounds a little too, i don't know, physical or non etheral. I always thought it was: Keep on looking bu you can't find the words, are you hiding in a dream? Does not make it less awesome though! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/16/2009 12:49PM by MrBeast.

Kid IRA1 member kill yr idols Joined: 09/03/08 Location: formerly some antiseptic Posts: 3,380	Closer's lyrics are brilliant. Never heard a more intentionally hideous love song in my life. The Good Soldier comes off as the most interesting perspective on Year Zero, and Year Zero's equivalent real life situations. Just Like You Imagined could have been as big a hit as The Hand That Feeds or Closer, but instead Reznor chose to work thematically on nothing but the song's title, which I believe are more power than any lyrics could have been.

venusflytrap member Joined: 12/22/08 Location: Leeds uk Posts: 395	I really like the more abstract lyrics...(e.g The great below) but also love the idea of everything being part of a broken machine (Gave up) and of course the sense of decay and sorrow of what life has turned into...any of that, total win!

WhiteOrder member Mr. Self Destruct Joined: 01/25/09 Location: Athens Posts: 17	The Way Out is Through on The Fragile All I've undergone, I will keep on. Underneath it all, We feel so small. The heavens fall, But still we crawl. All I've undergone, I will keep on. These have got to be my favorite Nine Inch Nails lyrics of all time. So simple, yet powerful. It also helps that the song itself has an incredible build up to it.
