Something I Can Never Have. fairly obvious why eh? I prefer the studio version. the ambience makes the song so much more powerful.

at this moment the fragile is personal because it reminds me of someone dear to me and whenever she goes through something i feel like i don't want her to fall apart. i want to find that place where we can run and hide.

But them motherfuckers need back off my wall brah

Discipline is another because of a diet I'll be undergoing for surgery. And I'm bad with willpower. my friends are what's gonna get me through. And as cheesy as it sounds, i need their discipline.i simply can't do it on my own.

Echoplex gets me because of my unhealthy love of being isolated.

That's too difficult :c

It sounds stupid, but I feel like I have the most personal connection to Leaving Hope. It has no lyrics, obviously, but the sounds and textures are so rich and emotional that it feels like it's coming from the inside.
Speaking of, The Big Come Down would be my second one because it describes almost perfectly the way it feels to be cognizant and self-aware while suffering from a mental illness.

All That Could've Been

Sunspots

In This Twilight

Wish

We're in this Together Now

Hard to pick one. So I picked 'em all.

La Mer.

There's just something about that song that makes me feel alive. It's the most captivating song I've ever heard, and the lyrics just so beautiful and mysterious. I can't help but daydream when I'm listening to it. It just takes me away. I love it so much that I'm considering getting 'La Mer' tattooed on the back of my neck someday.

Head Like a Hole, the first NIN song I ever heard and still love it and rock out to it even though it's as old as I am

Closer, has significance in my relationship it was also the song that allowed me to introduce my girlfriend to NIN and she's now almost a bigger fan of the band than me.

terrible lie. definately terrible lie.

The Great Below and Even Deeper.

For once in my life, I feel complete...and I still want to ruin it.

that pretty much sums it up.

Ooh...The Great Below...

That song...gives me goosebumps, in the best way. This is another personal song to me. I still remember the first time I listend to it. I was laying in my bed, with headphones on, staring at the ceiling of my room and I was listening to The Fragile for the first time...all the way through of course. When I heard this incredible masterpiece, I got chills. When the song ended, I was speachless. Stuck silent by what I had just heard. I knew then, that Nine Inch Nails was going to be a BIG part of my life from then on. I mean, the lyrics (also used in Underneath It All, another personal song to me) were just SO HAUNTING. "I can still feel you.."


The reason Underneath It All gets to me, is because it reminds me of my first serious girlfriend. She was a huge part of my life, and she really left her mark on me...literally. The first time we were.. *clears throat* in bed together..she left a scar on my left arm with her nails, and it's still visible to this day. I can't get rid of it. She was also a huge part of my life emotionally because she was the first girl I ever "loved", so it's like no matter what I do, I can still feel her and she'll always be a part of me, but I wish she wasn't, hence Underneath It All getting to me. It's like she's imprinted on me, but I'm still trying to forget her. I've definitely moved on since...but I'll never be able to erase her from my memory.

The Great Below is a song that I like, tho. It make me think of something better. A love that I hope to have in the future.

big man with a gun.........i just feel like the protagonist of that song all the time. (sorry at my feeble attempt at humour)

And All That Could Have Been

Where is Everybody?

And what best supports the above mentioned song? 1,000,000.

For me:

In This Twilight, no contest

No explanation, just hits the equivalent of the g-spot in my ears.

Were In This Together comes to mind before anything else because it reminds me of all the hard stuff I got through in the past and makes me feel like I can get through anything else thaht might happen. I also just loved the song to begin with, especially how it shifts from heavy to the light instrumental ending.

Everyday is Exactly the Same.

I wonder if he ever thought that this song (for whatever reasons he wrote it for) would greatly appeal to a depressed house wife.

hahahahahaa.

I sing it to myself when I do the laundry.

Looks like we're singing to each other, sister. lol

I'm telling you, I swear Trent wrote this with housewives in mind.

Somewhat Damaged evokes the greatest emotion with me. Sometimes, especially in the car for some reason, I'll be singing this song and suddenly find tears running down my face- not remembering when i started to cry. It is my biggest request to see live, I never have. hope I get my chance in June

I actually think that has happened to me too, and with the same song, "Somewhat Damaged"

I think the fact that this song seems so...direct...makes it seem so angry, and the lyrics are so amazing! I love that song. I think it's my favorite opening track off all of NIN's albums.

"How could I ever think it's funny how everything you swore would
never change is different now like you said you and me make it
through didn't quite fell apart
where the fuck were you?"

(So incredible.)

I relate with many of the songs by NIN, but I'd have to say the most with:
"We're in this Together"
"The Fragile"
and just recently "Reptile" and "Sunspots".

"We're in this Together" is very personal to me. It actually gives me chills listening to it. Of course, I was in a relationship, with someone I really cared deeply for. But we were constantly getting torn apart, and we eventually did unfortunately. But I would go to this song for some sort of optimism, "YOU and ME, we're in this together now, none of them can stop us now, WE will make it through somehow." The part that really touches me is the last verse "even after everything, you're the queen and I'm the king, nothing else means anything", leading in to piano, which then leads into "The Fragile". Ahh.

I don't exactly know what TR was feeling when writing this song, but this what I get from the song, and it always takes me back to that time of my life. I won't forget it.
