I’m writing my memoir about my addiction.. I want to call it the day the world went away .. Will have to somehow get permission from Mr Reznor to use that title ❤
Still here, waiting, watching, knowing that my whole world has been gone for over a decade. I’ve been living half a life for so long that I just want to sleep the other half away and it’s hard not to sleep the other half as well. Just want to feel appreciated for what I do at this point but that will never happen.
Tomorrow will be one year since my girlfriend took her life. This song always makes me think of that day specifically, “The Day The World Went Away.” I’m still completely broken and I can’t say that “time heals all wounds.” I miss her so much and life doesn’t make sense without her. I wish I could leave, too, but I can’t. All I want is to be with her again. I somewhat like Nine Inch Nails before she died, mainly songs from ‘Pretty Hate Machine.’ I didn’t like TDS or The Fragile. Those albums were too rough for me and I couldn’t get into them. Last August, about a month after Ever died, I took my dive into NIN. I’d say Nine Inch Nails is my 2nd favorite band now (Depeche Mode will always be my #1 favorite). Trent Reznor has helped me so much. Through his lyrics, I know that I’m not alone. I feel like he understands me. Music helps me make sense of life. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to someone. Your pain just gets passed on to the people who care about you.
I'm catching up on The Bear because I heard Trent & Atticus did the soundtrack for season 3, and I can't believe they used this version in season 2. I had to pause the episode because I was so stunned - like nobody outside of NIN diehards knows about this version!
25 years in two days since my whole world went away….a month before my birthday my father died from an ATV (dune buggy) accident. We had cop scanners, as soon as it came across I ran out the house 20 feet over the hill and saw him laying there being worked on by the paramedics after being tossed from the dune buggy after flipping it multiple times. My Superman laying there lifeless. There’s not enough words in the dictionary to express the pain and hurt I felt that day, and still to this day. The greatest lie ever told “time heals all wounds” no, it just makes the pain a little more numbing, but it’s still right there, 25 years later.
Still great, so many years later. Trent has changed, we have changed, the whole world DID go away in 2020, then it came back, and now it is no longer real anymore....
If any one is listening.. I’m still here. Sometimes I feel like everything was a dream. Anybody listen listening? I’m here? Time is god, every second is counted. Every second..
I've been going through it. I quit drinking last year, i was ok. My Dad died, I was ok. I fell in love, I was lying. I lost my heart, the world is too much, I can't sleep. Tired of soldiering on, I have a kid. I feel like she would be better off. I just want the world to go away.
Reminds me of my marriage.The nightmares I dreamt when I was a child came true.i will never hand myself over to another godless woman. When she murdered my heart and destroyed me. I went to the needle and almost checked out .I married a living breathing walking Demon. When the wife and the needle went away.Then I healed.
I knew this song (and NIN) from the trailer for Terminator Salvation back in 2009, but I heard this version for the first time in The Bear S2. Amazing piece, every version fits on a different mood and hits perfectly
There is no public statement from Trent on what this song means as far as i can tell. It could and probably is about Popsicles and his hatred of them. I'm pretty sure that's it.
