I did the same thing to my friend but "a perfect circle" song. Whenever it'd play- I'd look him dead in the eyes and mouth the words "You fucking dissapoint me, maybe your better off this way" and look away in disgust.
My therapist told me today that I need to live life for myself. And I feel like this is the most appropriate song for that teaching. "Less concerned about fitting into the world... cause it doesn't really matter"
The same here :) @ChristopherJohnson it"s not about having no relationship or not helping others, it's about remembering, that there is nobody's more important than you. It means being asertive instead of passive-agressive.
Sarah Beth You’re going to be fine. I always look at people that are always “mad” and go “why”???? Just keep pushing forward and be yourself. And don’t forget to turn the music WAY UP and headbang once in a while. You got this.
I love how I heard someone said once "this shit (NIN) is for edgy, angry teenagers". Nothing could be farther from the truth. The older I get, the more I like their songs, and can relate to them the most

@@EvanMcVeighLOL wtf, what kinda question was that? Nice job with the civil answer though, you're more polite than I am. I'd have said "Oh yeah totally, he's actually my dad... RIP pops..." But forreal seriously? 🤣 That's like asking some random person with the last name Ramirez "Hey you wouldn't happen to be related to that Night Stalker guy?"

A great "feel better" song about the reality that we are disappointed by our expectations of others but that we never really know a person and set high expectations and only hurt ourselves by doing that. Its a great healing song.

Genius composition. Conversational like Lou Reed and you don't even realize you're completely hooked until the motif at 2:50. Been listening to this album for over 15 years and still love it.
I think what makes this song so powerful is how it takes all the power you give someone you loved and turns it all around putting it back in your hands.
I'm becoming less defined as days go by Fading away And well you might say I'm losing focus Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself Sometimes I think I can see right through myself Sometimes I think I can see right through myself Sometimes I can see right through myself Less concerned about fitting into the world Your world that is 'Cause it doesn't really matter anymore (No it doesn't really matter anymore) No it doesn't really matter anymore None of this really matters anymore Yes I am alone but then again I always was As far back as I can tell I think maybe it's because Because you were never really real to begin with I just made you up to hurt myself I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah And I just made you up to hurt myself I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah And I just made you up to hurt myself And it worked Yes it did! There is no you There is only me There is no you There is only me There is no fucking you There is only me There is no fucking you There is only me Only Only Only Only Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad I just couldn't leave it alone I kept picking at the scab It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut But I climbed through Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see And now I know why, now, now, now I know why Things aren't as pretty On the inside There is no you There is only me There is no you There is only me There is no fucking you There is only me There is no fucking you There is only me Only Only Only Only Only Only Only Only
One thing I have always loved about Trent's writing and style is that it's realistic. It's not too cinematic like most musicians. It's very raw and authentic. Real anger. Real bitterness. Real life. Some people hate that. They want to escape. This guy is really using music as therapy basically. It's how he is in real life. I feel that connects more easily compared to a lot of other artists.
Ending it is not the answer, changing what is currently wrong in your life is!... There are many places that will help you and will want to help you. Take a deep breath and just google a few help centres as a first step! x Much love x
"Yes, I am alone... then again, I always was! As far back as I could tell! I think maybe it's because you were never really real to begin with... I just made you up to hurt myself." Those lyrics! Every real man in this world knows how this feels all too well.
It's really kind of crazy out of all the powerful songs this one stays up top for me also It is the directness of it, the confidence. And that bass line. The past me wants just a little more gain on that bass not so clean but future me knows this song transcends time as it is
My little brother and I’s favorite song. He took his life in 2016 at the end of the year, but this song helps me to continue on his legacy; he was nowhere near done being a f#ckin’ legend 💪🏼🤘🏼
I'm sorry for your loss. You are an amazing sibling for keeping his legacy because and this sounds cliche but at the end of the day his memory lives on and you get to feel and remember all those beautiful moments in his life. I wish you and your family the best 😊

I can still remember, in 1989, sitting in a car in a mall parking lot after i bought pretty hate machine on a cassette.....i was blown away by it....so different, so interesting...amazing... all these years later Trent's doing it to me again....
My sisters idiot boyfriend had one redeeming quality. It was 1990 and I was 10 and I grabbed his Walkman and started listening to pretty hate machine. Thanks to that dude I was introduced to a world of superb music. Guy was still a jackass though.
This has become my fight song. I have suffered a lot of abuse leaving me with severe cPTSD, and the self hate and dissociation, the pain and self medicating it's led too just pours out of me with what he's saying in this song.
Man I still come back and listen to this one of this album, few songs really capture the ideals of depersonalization and derealization. This one nails it. It's hard to even fit this in a genre its like bleak techno futurist pop rock. Incredible

I just told a man who was coming in and out of my life for two years that I can’t anymore. I’m done. And then I happened to listen to this today on one of my mixes and I’m blown away by the power I have. This song has always been my favorite and as a teenager I listened to NIN. Thank you universe for this song this morning.
Video is timeless, The way he brings in the different sounds and his voice still brings chills to the back of my neck. Nostalgia and motivation on overdrive

I really appreciate the programming genius of whoever wrote that pin impression toy simulation, & then translated that into footage of Trent singing. Bravo.
Dang, lots of comments here taking very positive messages from this song about someone suffering a severe mental break. Kudos to you for finding an interpretation to suit you. I just want to give the protagonist a hug and let him know people care.

This song and into the the void by Trent reznor have always been my most favourite songs of all time , no matter what time , what mood or whatever , when they play I lose my shit. Thanks to this legend , his words are a slow burning fire. Keep me warm when things get cold and dark.
The dot is his past addiction The scab he pulls off was from the self inflicted wound of that past addiction (edit: the wound was healing, thus he was overcoming the addiction slowly) Opening the wound again, the doorway he climbs through leads to relapse
Sadly, too many of the people watching the video may have stalled out at the steel balls, no cell phone, why is the laptop so thick and did it hurt his skin to do the "Little nails thingie"...
Ésta canción se "auto" reprodujo después de otra que había buscado, y intenté sacar tres veces y no pude... Es una obra de arte. Gracias Nine Inch Nails.
This song (and many others) is helping me get over my narcissist ex gf. Sometimes I think it’s true. “I just made you up to hurt myself”, “there is no you, there is only me”.

The music video for "Only", directed by David Fincher and relying almost entirely on CGI created by Digital Domain ....When Fincher uses CGI , it can't be seen.
Yeah he loves CGI: since Zodiac, all the blood in all his films are in CGI, he even copy the face of one of the twins in the social network to the other one because the actors weren't real twins: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oitr_eYcJk0.html
For me, this is the music video that started it all. I watched this vide randomly o on a Frontier flight from CO to Virginia in like 2008. NIN is the best band in my world ever since.
I'm obsessed with this video. I've discovered it three days ago, and each time I go back on RU-vid I can't help myself from watching it... Trent's voice is truely hypnotising. The lyrics really punch in in the soul of the teen I am I'M BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION (and it worked YES IT DID)

I think the power of this song is not what society thinks "Power" really is but instead the early adolecent childhood trauma where one thinks the whole reason for all of our problems is us.....and the reality is that we are not at fault....we were just kids trying ti figure out how to survive in a world where our parental figures had their own issues that they could not help us.
One of my favorite NIN songs as I could relate to the lyrics in 2005 but even more than ever in 2020. It's like Trent knew this world was going to get worse. Love it.
this song's verse "i just made you up to hurt myself" well, hearing that as of now (2021) it put my life clearly into focus...an inspiration of sorts...if so. this is one of those songs that sounds fresh every time you hear it!
Raven we see eye to eye on this...no PUN intended...hehe Raven spelled backwards =Nevar...Eye spelled backwards is ____yup! Furthermore, final steered thought...why the most loathed word in modern English Dictionary "Scab" (fucking word just makes me itch YUK! Yeah thoughts are fineto for me right now I'm gonna upchuck at the thought off spelling forwards and backwards. Split Twisted GD brain o' mine...*spews in Garth's from Wayne's World's lil pocket Dixie cup*
LYRICS (though someone else did it already): I'm becoming less defined As days go by Fading away Well, you might say I'm losin' focus Kinda driftin' into the abstract In terms of how I see myself Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself (x2) (Whispering) Sometimes I can see right through myself Less concerned About fitting into the world Your world, that is. 'Cuz it doesn't really matter anymore (No, it doesn't really matter anymore) No, it doesn't really matter anymore None of this really matters anymore Yes, I'm alone Then again, always was As far back as I can tell I think maybe it's because 'Cuz you were never really real to begin with I just made you up To hurt myself I just made you up To hurt myself, yeah And I just made you up To hurt myself (x2) And it worked. Yes, it did! (CHORUS) There is no you There is only me There is no you There is only me There is no fuckin' you! There is only me! There is no fuckin' you! There is only me! Only (x4) Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye And it turned out to be a scab And I had this funny feeling Like I just knew it's something bad I just couldn't leave it alone... I kept picking at the scab It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut But I climbed through Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see And now I know why Now I know why Things aren't as pretty On the inside (CHORUS) There is no you There is only me There is no you There is only me THERE IS NO FUCKIN' *YOU!* There is only _me!_ THERE IS NO FUCKIN' *YOU!* There is only _me!_ Only (x8)

Saw them in 2009 and this song has stayed with me throughout my life. "There's is no you, there's only me"... I have always said that to myself. It's true, no one can do it, ONLY you... Be true to yourself...
Wow, 10 or 11 years I had a total different meaning. I’m always amazed by great art that changes over time because you change. Or maybe it’s only me that changes.

haha, laughed at this. I feel like I want to insert a clip of Roule Julia doing his Gomez Addams bit, of 'has the world gone mad'....i know somethings just seem like too strange to be true, but often is, just go with it, maybe they'd change the rest of the formula at some point lol. One can dream right.
