Try not to post verses...but your favorite line or 2 from a NIN song, something that means something to you. Could be something you think is beautiful, have the deepest meaning, or you just think sounds cool.

When you write the line, include the song title as well. Try to explain why its your favorite line. I apologize if this thread has been already, I searched for a bit and couldn't find it.

Like you said, you and me, make it through
Didn't quite, fell apart, where the fuck were you? (Somewhat Damaged)

Its personal, and it perfectly explains my reaction to a situation that I had an extremely tough time getting through. Somewhat damaged is one of my favorite NIN songs, but the ending speaks volumes in my head.

Whats yours?

slave screams he claims he has his own identity
slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall
slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall

We will find a better place, In This Twilight. Always brings a tear to my eye.

If I could start again, A million miles away, I would keep myself, I will find a way. My favorite line from Hurt. It touches me alot.

You will never ever ever ever get to me in here- Echoplex

And happiness and piece of mind, Were never meant for me- And All That Could Have Been

You and me, Even after everything, Your the queen and I'm the king, Nothing else means anything- We're In This Together. Reminds me of a broken relationship.

Give it to me, I can take it - The New Flesh

Your so vain, I bet you think this song is about you don't you. - Starfuckers Inc.

Maybe, maybe just once, I could get whats coming, Maybe, maybe just once, I could get whats coming to me - Maybe Just Once

human junk just words and so much skin
stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine
just some flesh caught in this big broken machine" -Happiness in Slavery

"help me get away from myself

you can have my isolation
you can have the hate that it brings

help me become somebody else" -Closer

"maybe it's a part of me you took it to a place i hoped it would never go
and maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know

you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now" - Ruiner

"i stay inside my bed
i have lived so many lives all in my head
and don't tell me that you care
there really isn't anything now, is there?" - I do not want this

"please don't hurt me" -Reptile

"everything's blue in this world" -The Downward Spiral

"try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

what have I become?" -Hurt

"the plastic face forced to portray
all the insides left cold and gray" - The day the world went away

"do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on?" -Even Deeper

"tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away" -Into the Void

"god damn I am so tired of pretending
of wishing I was ending
when all I'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
maybe I wish I could try" -Where is Everybody?

"push it away but it all comes back again" -Please

why did you put it there did you not realize
this thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound" -Burn

and this is not my life
and there is not a single thing here

hiding in the crowd, i'm all alone

no one's heard a single word i've said
they don't sound as good outside my head" -All the love in the world

"remember where you came from
remember what you are" -You know what you are?

"the more i stay in here
the more it's not so clear
the more i stay in here
the more i disappear" -The line begins to blur

"what if everything around you,
isn't quite as it seems?
what if all the world you used to know,
is an elaborate dream?
and if you look at your reflection,
is that all you want to be?" -Right where it belongs

"this is not where i should be" -The good soldier

"and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as the time is running out
let me take away your doubt
we can find a better a place
in this twilight" -In this twilight

"And Happiness, and peace of mind
were never meant for me." All That Could Have Been

Looking back from where i was at 19, to where I am now at 36....
I lost a lot along the way.

"And if you look at your reflection...
is it all you want it to be?" Right Where it Belongs

And realizing that.... I am deciding where to go with my life and choices now.

I have a few here.

And I guess I just wanted to tell you
As the light starts to fade
That you are the reason
That I am not afraid
And I guess I just wanted to mention
As the heavens will fall
We will be together soon if we
Will be anything at all
- Zero-Sum

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

Nice and high and far apart
Just like they said
I built this place with broken parts
Just like they said
You chip away the old version of you
You'd be surprised at what you can do
I'm safe in here
Irrelevant
Just like they said
- Echoplex[/i]

As I lie here and stare
The fabric starts to tear
It's far beyond repair
And I don't really care
- [b]The Line Begins To Blur

I can leave all of this flesh behind
I can see right through this whole façade
I am becoming something else
I am a turning into God
- Vessel

Don't open your eyes, you won't like what you see
The blind have been blessed with security
- Happiness In Slavery

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

Now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease
- Ruiner

All the black is really white, if you believe it.

"My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head till I dont want to sleep anymore"--SICNH

"In the blur of serenity
Where did everything get lost?
The flowers of naivete
Buried in a layer of frost

A fools devotion
Swallowed up in empty space
The tears of regret
Frozen to the side of his face"--ILFTJYF

Smash it apart, just for the fuck of it
- The Big Come Down

You'll do what we tell you
You'll do as your told
Used to be the leader
Now comes the time to serve
Maybe we show some mercy
Maybe you get what you deserve
- Meet Your Master

I cannot go through this again..
- With Teeth

Can't seem to shut it off
This thing I've begun
And it's hard to tell—just
Where it's coming from

I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters
- I Do Not Want This

I'd rather die than give you control

Fresh blood through tired skin
New sweat to drown me in
Dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive
- Last
