echoplex. it's like, the story of my life.
lol.

Piggy has always been my favorite all time NIN song, it was the first song I connected with. I bought TDS in highschool and that track really stuck out for some reason, any time I felt sad or depressed or upset, I'd put it on repeat and just listen over and over.

The becoming, the great below, I do not want this, even deeper, underneath it all are also all very close to my heart.

but honestly it's hard to just pick out a few songs i love.

i love them all.

Even Deeper.

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

that pretty much sums it up.

I was about to write exactly the same thing

The Becoming because so often I find myself completely lost as to who I am and what I'm doing, but for some reason listening to this song among others makes me feel as if we're all a little lost and confused and angry in our hearts. Being fucked up is part of being human.

Kinda I Want To

I'm married and there was this other girl. . . .

Maybe God will cover up His eyes. . . .

...underneath it all, we feel so small, the heavens fall, but STILL we crawl.

Great lyrics, very powerful....

Im with the OP on this one. The Fragile is, in my opinion, one of the best songs by Trent that I can connect with.

The Four of Us are Dying - don't tell me why because i don't know, its like the song choose me.. sometimes i feel it was made specially for me..

"The persistence of loss"
not only very personal to me...in my opinion-not mentioned enough. The fact that it's an instrumental makes it more effective, allows my mind to wander directly to the saddest thoughts swimming around my head & get's me every time. Also, I'll always remember the time I was playing it at work & it brought someone who has never listened to NIN to tears

Well I must admit I have a few. You know what, I just realized how meaningful Trent's lyrics are. Compared to all other artists, I truly think Trent actually cares about what he writes. Not just senseless, meaningless lyrics I hear in every other song.

Terrible Lie - This song really gets me through some rough times in life. Everytime something terrible happens (no pun intended ) I listen.

Everyday Is Exactly The Same - The more I listen to this song, the more I think about how true it is.

Somewhat Damaged, Wish, Gave Up, The Big Come Down - They all have a main theme here, give or take a different stress of the idea. You try so hard, but give up and don't give a shit anymore.

Other than that, I love almost every song Trent has made. Gets me through the day!

I think this really all depends on the mood.

And All That Could Have Been- This song single handedly got me through my divorce and helped me move on and realize things that there are better things ahead. With the lyrics, why did it make me feel this way? NO IDEA! but it did.

Home is a great song that I feel brings me energy.

Right Where it Belongs V2- just gives me the chills but fires me up in an odd way.

Last- I am not allowed to listen to this while driving!!! I have the tendency to get pulled over when I do so.

In This Twilight into Zero Sum- I don't think there is any matching of songs on a record that is more perfect than this.

Hurt- I think that this is most likely everyone’s choice. But the thing is, I can't listen to the studio version of this song after hearing it live. The live versions of this song, seriously get my blood flowing.


I guess it is more so the low key quieter songs I dig the most. It is just the raw power in the emotion of these songs that can drive my energy to immeasurable heights.

I could seriously go on for pages upon pages upon pages here and most likely wind up giving an explanation of ever single song. Hmmmm. That that would be a project for me to work on and then post. That would be one hell of a post!!! I will save you all from the pain in the ass that would be to read through

The Wretched. Directed towards my sister, who is an awful person. "Now you know this it what it feels like".

The Big Come Down
And All That Could Have Been
Somewhat Damaged

I'd rather not give explanations but those are the three most personal to me.

The Fragile

Exactly how I feel from both ends of the spectrum. I'm the narrator & the female.
