	>> I'm always falling down this same hill bamboo puncturing this skin and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall I'm drowning in two 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 that almost brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear that part of the song. it is written beautifully... i love it.

	Helixi- Trent's not married. He's never been married. He was supposed to be featured on VH1's "Most Eligible Bachelors" show earlier this year, but something was fucked with his publicist.

No Picture Damien Wanna Be	#3 by Damien Clark at Jan 30, 2006 at 5:53 PM EST
	kinda i want to buy this album, is it worth it? i have TDS all the way through Year Zero, (exclude all EP's and singles...) and im wondering if i should get this, broken, or both?

No Picture ruthuger Average	#4 by ruthuger nixon at Mar 25, 2006 at 9:31 PM EST
	To me, it's about him cheating, or someone cheating with him.

No Picture Adam Wanna Be	#5 by Adam Doyle at Apr 7, 2006 at 12:14 PM EST
	trent reznors bi? lol thats awesome... courtney love is always claiming hes a homophobic bastard... LMAO shes such a fucking whore.

No Picture Splinter Average	#6 by Splinter Cell at Apr 12, 2006 at 3:41 AM EST
	At first, I thought was referring to some kind of drug, "kinda i want to" portraying that same addiction. However, lines like "there's a devil sleeping in my bed" makes it clear that this song is about addiction, but the wrong kind of it, perhaps having sex with someone you shouldn't. It doesn't mean it's with a men, it can be with a prostitute, or an ex-girlfriend, who knows.

No Picture Travis Average	#7 by Travis Nichols at Apr 22, 2006 at 11:59 PM EST
	Solid Snake is right [lol] it could be a remake of the broken movie!!!

No Picture Kracrocksteady Wanna Be	#8 by Kracrocksteady at Apr 28, 2006 at 12:16 AM EST
	Although this is not one of my favorite NIN songs, i've always had a personal connection with it. Sadly enough, I can relate.

No Picture leaves Average	#9 by leaves u who i dont like at May 7, 2006 at 6:54 AM EST
	I had just finished fucking my best friend's recently ex-girlfriend and all I could think of afterwards was this song. I'm not saying that this is anything like what the song is truly about, although it fits that situation perfectly. That's the great thing about NIN music, it can have so many different meanings to the listener. That is the mark of a great lyricist.

No Picture Natalie Average	#10 by Natalie at May 8, 2006 at 12:10 AM EST
	I believe that at this point in the album, the main character is losing to the machine in his mind. He attempts to talk with the female charcter in the story about his coming defeat, and his depression, but when she tries to console him, he lashes out at her, believing her to be another "pig" of societym and therefore a conformist who doesn't understand. By the end of the song, he finally is defeated, as the machine assumes control, thus the change in tone, and the strange machine like sound of Trent's voice.

No Picture Matt Average	#11 by Matt at May 10, 2006 at 9:55 AM EST
	I`ve felt like this for the last three months, i understand this song my way, It just fits me perfectly as a depression, as I seem unable to be perfect or important.

No Picture Derrik Professional	#12 by Derrik at Jun 23, 2006 at 2:22 PM EST
	I'm thinking that this is some sort of depression, because you know everyone eventually says something similar to "You don't know how I feel, no one else has to go through the shit I go through" but that's just funny because EVERYONE says it.

	trent reznors bi? ther goes another cool person added to my cool homos list along with freddie mercury and rob halford

No Picture Sam Average	#14 by Sam at Jul 9, 2006 at 4:16 PM EST
	i wonder who the lucky guy is.

No Picture bob Average	#15 by bob whyte at Jul 18, 2006 at 7:43 AM EST
	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 this segment right here seems to be implying the character feels extremely insignificant, and wants to leave his mark on the world.. even if its in a negative manner.

No Picture Alan Average	#16 by Alan Gunderson at Jul 21, 2006 at 5:19 PM EST
	"Sanctified" is the song that Trent said was about cocaine. "Kinda I Want To" is about someone strugging with homosexual desire.

No Picture skinny Wanna Be	#17 by skinny mcclaine at Aug 8, 2006 at 4:41 AM EST
	Well, saint566, chances are your friend found out and shot you by now. But yeah. This song is about Reznor being... well... bi.

No Picture Simon Average	#18 by Simon White at Aug 12, 2006 at 11:33 AM EST
	This song is about a short lived addiction to crack cocaine suffered by Trent Reznor. He is singing about his crackpipe on the other side of the room. (I got this from an interview I don't make this shit up)

No Picture ari Average	#19 by ari o at Sep 8, 2006 at 7:49 PM EST
	Really? Hmm, I heard this song was about trent being bi-curious. Yes, folks, for those who don't know trent swings on both sides of the fence if ya know what I mean. Watch, some people still won't believe it. "But he's married!"

No Picture Craig Average	#20 by Craig Brotschi at Sep 9, 2006 at 1:00 PM EST
	This reminds me of a letter to a good friend that he is trying to confide in. He starts out by trying to relate with "You know how this world can beat you down." He may have a crush or something of that sort on his friend when he says "two 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." Then he gets the advice back from his friend and thinks they don't understand what he is talking about and didn't get the point. He tries to talk about his problem again calmly but breaks and goes into his rant of "you would know wouldn't you?" He knows it is a cry for help in the end and relalizes it isn't working so gives up and puts back on his mask when he says "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"

No Picture Lex Average	#21 by Lex Nafrodosze at Dec 7, 2006 at 6:22 AM EST
	Just heard this ong- awesome. I love it.

No Picture chris Average	#22 by chris rowley at Jan 9, 2007 at 6:53 PM EST
	i think its just bout someone hating themselves, and all the sympathy in the world isn't gonna help, and it just is exausting to try and fight of all the 'good doers' coz they just make u feel worse...

No Picture JO3H Average	#23 by JO3H 3VAN2 at Jan 9, 2007 at 9:24 PM EST
	The whole album of The Downward Spiral is about a killer and his psychie and i think this is the part of the "story" where he shows remorise

No Picture shane Wanna Be	#24 by shane kendry at Feb 20, 2007 at 2:06 PM EST
	Is he seriously bi? Was he ever? If he was, is that stage in his life over? ***If he is bi, that would explain the "Sin" video a bit.

No Picture Josh Average	#25 by Josh Riemersma at Feb 26, 2007 at 2:55 PM EST
	I think it's about masturbation

No Picture Greg Lead Player	#26 by Greg Marshall at May 14, 2007 at 6:42 AM EST

	What I want to know is why the band does not play the song live... or won't according to Jerome on the band's website. It implies more mystery. Whata think?
