Nine Inch Nails lyrics that describe your life and mood in general.

[Thor]

I cannot say that I have 1 favorite NIN song because y'know... But Right Where It Belongs has a very special place in my heart. It's definetly not between my most played songs, because I cannot bring myself to hear it in public or with anyone else around, I need to be alone. I remeber being a sad teenager and finding this song... I wrote down the lyrics on a piece of paper and carried them around with me, because it made me feel so much things... It still does. Right Where It Belongs is a place to where I always come back. It's a song that breaks my heart, but it also makes me feel less alone. A reminder that someone else has also felt that way. Today I needed to hear it.

Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs
[...]
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

[OoopiDoop]

In the back, off the side, and far away
Is a place where I hide, where I stay
Tried to say, tried to ask, I needed to
All alone by myself, where were you?
How could I ever think, it's funny how
Everything that swore it wouldn't change is different now
Just like you would always say, we'll make it through
Then my head fell apart and where were you?
How could I ever think, 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?


Right before I caught COVID in April 2020 I had a bad falling out with an friend/ex. Then had to deal with the long haul covid symptoms of depression and a myriad of other symptoms for the next 12 months. Found out who my true friends were and who ghosted me cause I caught covid. I'm much better now physically and mentally though. I just feel "Somewhat Damaged" permanently now.

[Erneuert]

Dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive.

Just like you would always say, we'll make it through
Then my head fell apart and where were you?

I sometimes wish the additional three of four “where the fuck were you?!” refrains he sings live were actually on the album version to give it an even bigger (if that’s even possible) punch.

I will keep on....

[chuckrh]

Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have
Could have beens
Another day
Some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us
The wretched
The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways
Forget it
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And god himself will reach his fucking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking
Spinning
And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You're finally free
And you could be
But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but....

[BenAkenobi]

the sweetest price he'll have to pay
the day the whole world went away

[Wulgaren]

echoplex always resonated with me

[Siah13]

… And this is not my face
And this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here
I can recognize
This is all a dream
And none of you are real
I'll give anything
I'll give anything


- Head Down

[silent_echo]

Not currently at the moment, but for a good chunk of the last few years, I found this resonated the most for me:

All that I can do, is break myself in two

[thefragile_jake]

Time is running out, I don't know what I'm waiting for.
I think this keeps happening over and over again.

[Czarina]

Satellite, I'm watching you, I'm inside your head.

Technically, I've been hearing voices in the music for several decades now...

[Czarina]

And for the record, Rocco is my dog and Mugsy is my cat, both cow patterned animals. One of my orange cats in "Gone Girl" was my cat Pumpkin.
He was discovered on my Facebook long ago half asleep on my piano keyboard, scowling at me and telling me my pitch was off and I was somewhere between an Ab, A, or maybe a G. Yes, I am the one listed as Sarah Brightman in "Finding Nemo" singing, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" from Phantom of the Opera." Several NIN people are family to me.

[stlkr]

I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do

[thefragile_jake]

Why try change when you know you can't?

[elevenism]

I wake up
On the floor
Start it up again
Like it matters anymore

[strider]

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm
through
just to push you down, just to hold you down
