"I need your discipline, I need your help. Once I start I can not stop myself."

1. there is no you there is only me

2. she has the blood of reptile, just underneath her skin

3. blank stare, disrepair, there's a big black hole gonna eat me up someday

4. and i am still inside you

5. i woke up today, to find myself in the other place.

6. i jump from every rooftop...so high so far to fall.

7. you and i we may look the same, but we are very far apart

The last verse thing from happiness in slavery is really the zeitgeist of NIN:

"I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been, human junk, just words and so much skin.

Stick my hands through the cage of this endless routine, just some flesh, caught in this big broken machine."

My steady, systematic decline.

 

12/30/09 6:17 PM

"I used to be so big and strong, I used to know my right from wrong, I used to never be afraid, I used to be somebody..." - Down in It

"Tried to save myself, but myself keeps slipping away!" - Into the Void

"Wish it was something real, wish it was something true!" - Wish

"They keep calling me..." - Dead Souls

"My voice just echoes off these walls..." - Echoplex

"I jump from every rooftop, so high so far to fall...." - 1,000,000

"I wanna know everything, I wanna be everywhere, I wanna fuck everyone in the world, I wanna do something that matters!" - I Do Not Want This

"Smashed up my sanity, smashed up my integrity, smashed up what I believed in, smashed up what's left of me!" - Gave Up

"I'm afraid I am starting to fade away!" - Getting Smaller

"I'm becoming less define, as days go by. Fading away, well you might say that I'm losing focus..." - Only

 

12/30/09 8:05 PM

"What if all the world's inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the words
Are you hiding in the trees?" - Right Where It Belongs

Reason why I picked this one: it just hits home...my throat starts cracking because it just picks me apart piece by piece...

It makes me wonder about how I perceive this world...if its real...or just some bad nightmare I can wake up from...

and yet there is hope.. it challenges me to look inside because in the end only I have the answers...only I can make the choice of waking up or not.

"Shame on us
Doomed from the start
May god have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Shame on us
For all we have done
All in your world
Just zeros and ones"-Zero Sum

"And this is not my face, and this is not my life, and there is not a single thing here I can recognize. And this is all a dream, and none of you are real. I'd give anything, I'd give anything." - Head Down

"My voice just echoes off these walls..." - Echoplex

"I will use my voice, and I will use my fist to destroy everything I can. Now I know what this is all about. Now I know exactly what I am." - Demon Seed

"Put the gun in my mouth, close your eyes, blow my fucking brains out" - 1,000,000


For some reason I've taken a particular liking to The Slip. It's definitely my favorite album.

and the sun and the moon and the stars

The Only Time

for once in my life i feel complete
and i still want to ruin it

'I won't fall apart'

For personal reasons

 

09/03/10 1:16 AM

There are many, but right now:
'Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline' and 'After everything I've done I hate myself for what I've become' from Gave Up.

 

09/03/10 2:49 AM

"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?"

It's pretty much about my life right now

 

09/06/10 6:55 PM

All I've undergone I will keep on....That pretty much says it for me.

"i'm always falling down the same hill
bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall i'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface i can still make out your wavy face
and if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place"

There are so many great lyrics. Trent m'boy, you certainly know how to put the words together!!! smiling smiley

Some of my favourites are: Eraser (the whole story is told in maybe a dozen or so words, amazing!!!); The Downward Spiral ("he couldn't believe how easy it was; he put the gun into his face; BANG! so much blood from such a tiny little hole" ); The Only Time ("lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car" ). There are a lot of others.

THERE IS A PLACE/
THAT STILL REMAINS/
IT EATS THE FEAR/
IT EATS THE PAIN/

The Day The World Went Away

i love that; simultaneously fills me with me a sense of hope, peace, and desolation.

What I used to think was me/
Is just a fading memory/

Down In It

as i get older, i note that certain things that used to really matter to me, and helped define who i thought i was, don't, anymore. at least nowhere near as much as they once did.

i want to be sadder about this than i am. but i'm not.

which brings me to this:

This is not where/
I should be/
I am trying/
To believe/

The Good Soldier

The plastic face forced to portray/All the insides left cold and gray
The day the whole world went away


I'm just an effigy to be erased, to be defaced/Your need for me has been replaced/And if I can't have everything/Well just give me a taste
Sin

So impressed by all you do/Tried so hard to be like you
Somewhat Damaged

Shame on us/We're doomed from the start/May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Shame on us/For all we have done/And we ever was/Just zeroes and ones
Zero Sum
There's many more but I don't feel like being here all night.

One track, get you on your back, your skin speaks soft
But your lips couldn't say it, right now
You know somehow we could take the chance and we could make it, make it.--"Deep"

March Of The Pigs:

"And doesn't it make you feel better
The pigs have won tonight
And they can all sleep soundly
And everything is alright"

Piano fades out and funnily enough it does make me feel better.

And it's happening.
Never planned on this.
You got something I need,
Kind of dangerous.
And I'm losing control.
I'm not used to this.
What you want from me?
I'm not used to this…

As far as I have gone,
I knew what side I'm on.
But now I'm not so sure,
The line begins to blur.



and_________________________________

She shines.
In a world full of ugliness.
She matters,
When everything is meaningless.

Fragile,
She doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away.
Sometimes
It's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away..

I won't let you fall apart.

We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
We'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
…But they keep waiting
…And picking…

It's something I have to do
I was there, too
Before everything else
I was like you…

Were In This Together Now-"watching fate as it flows down the path we
have chose"
The Line Begins To Blur-"For my soul is too sick and too little and too late"
Right Where It Belongs-"What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?"
These are actually my favourite NIN songs.

 

11/22/10 2:50 PM

I could never have a favorite song....

The whole thing is one thing to me with a pretty neat logo NIN...well not quite but its that its concept

Its the whole project all the albums and songs....there are very few mistakes

And those grow on you.....so forget about favorite songs

I think Nine Inch Nails is the best project I've encountered period.

Einstruzen neubuaten can suck it !!!!LOL!

"You and me
Even after everything
Your the queen and I'm the king
Nothing else means anything." - We're in This Together

Everytime i hear this song i feel sad, the good kind. This song (and these lines) tell what i want to say to a girl when i find the right one. When i hear this part it almost brings a tear to my eye (i'm not joking). Thats why this will always be my favourite NIN song
