    For me personally the last minute of this song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.

      Yeah from 3:05 onwards is beautiful. Its almost like a slow but satisfying release of stress and tension after a frantic or stressful period knowing you survived, but with a pinch of melancholy thrown in but not in a bad way. Like laying on a comfy bed in a darkened room after feeling absolutely spent or knackered. That's about the best way I can describe that sensation.

      It’s actually a song about a person trying to find the next fix of H. It’s driving him crazy all day and then he gets his fix and it almost kills him. He’s ok with it at that moment, he’s ok with dying because he’s completely addicted and doesn’t want to chase the dragon anymore.

    People don't ever seem to remember that Trent learned piano from his grandmother as a small child and it has been remarked about him having an "ordinary middle-class childhood"; however, he was considered an introvert. Then worked as an assistant recording engineer and janitor at Right Track Records in Cleveland, OH which is where he taught himself everything about recording, during the studio's down time, as the owner decided to let him work on his own demo's for free. He has earned a BS Degree in Computer Engineering from the distinctive Allegheny College and has a registered IQ score of 170, which is the same score as Einstein. During the making of "The Downward Spiral" album, he rented the Sharon Tate House near Los Angeles, where six people had been murdered by members of The Manson Family in 1969. Reznor lived in what essentially is the master bedroom, where he isolated himself away in the closet, which he converted into a sound recording booth, with a new Apple laptop computer, loaded with some excellent sound engineering software, where he created everything himself, except for the drums. While living in the Tate Murder House he befriended a tall skinny kid, who idolized Reznor and took the residence's reputation as part his stage name ― Marilyn Manson. They remain friends.
    He's the consummate perfectionist, who refuses to be dictated too; nor, will he ever compromise his vision. One recording studio found out, as he so infamously mailed them a letter from himself, who had cut his own contract into shreds. Another studio was undercut by Reznor, who had notoriously released his own music for free, so his fan's could copy and redistribute his work, just because he refused to give into studio management's demands regarding his "violent content and liberal use of profanity". Reznor has been a longtime proponent of self-creating, self-orchestrating, self-composing, self-promoting, as well as self-producing your own music, which gave way to the DIY production revolution, now seen on a multitude of online platforms ― So now, you can be your own maverick, due to his many talents.
    Reznor wrote this single for the David Lynch film "Lost Highway", which is the reason why he indulged the video's director Mark Romanek, who accurately depicted the Macabre Edwardian Era aesthetic, based on two distinct Gothic-Horror writers.
    So, whenever people say Trent Reznor is a music genius ― It's all very, very true ......!!!!
    * Side Note: If you require further analysis, as well as an intellectual challenge, then analyze the video's three distinct themes and references by looking into director Mark Romanek. The video's director took inspiration from two distinct American author's: Edward Gorey (1925-2000) who authored ‘‘The Hapless Child’’ (1961) and his abecedarian books ‘‘The Gashlycrumb Tinies’’ (1963) and ‘‘The Chinese Obelisks: Fourth Alphabet’’ (1970). The central figure of Gothic-Horror literature is Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), who's works employ the death of a beautiful woman as a main plot, such as ‘‘Annabel Lee’’ (1849), ‘‘The Raven’’ (1845), ‘‘Berenice’’ (1835), ‘‘Ligeia’’ (1838), ‘‘Morella’’ (1835) and, ‘‘The Fall of the House of Usher’’(1839), but also as the heavy absinthe drinker Edgar Allen Poe was alleged to be, but also ‘‘The Imp of the Perverse’’ (1845) and ‘‘The Tell-Tale Heart’’ (1843) are in comparison to the music video.

      Marilyn Manson and his band recorded their first demo tape under the name "Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids" in 1989. Trent Reznor didn't rent the Sharon Tate house until 1992, so the "residence's reputation" had no influence on Marilyn Manson's stage name.
      More importantly, Reznor and Manson have NOT remained friends. In 2009 Reznor said of Manson, “He is a malicious guy and will step on anybody’s face to succeed and cross any line of decency." Once again, Reznor released a public statement in 2021 denouncing his former friend. He said, “I have been vocal over the years about my dislike of Manson as a person and cut ties with him nearly 25 years ago."
      However, I agree with you that Trent Reznor is an uncompromising artist and most definitely a musical genius.

    I got my head but my head is unraveling
    Can't keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling
    I got my heart but my heart's no good
    You're the only one that's understood
    I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
    I shouldn't go but you're wrenching, dragging, shaking me
    Turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
    The more I give to you the more I die
    And I want you
    You are the perfect drug
    You make me hard when I'm all soft inside
    I see the truth when I'm all stupid-eyed
    The arrow goes straight through my heart
    Without you everything just falls apart
    My blood just wants to say hello to you
    My soul is so afraid to realize
    How very little there is left of me
    And I want you
    You are the perfect drug
    (Take me with you)
    Without you everything just falls apart
    It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

      According to the Wikipedia article for this song, it says/reads the following about this music video: The theme was inspired by the illustrations of 20th-century artist Edward Gorey, with familiar Gorey elements including oversized urns and glum, pale characters in full Edwardian costume. The most obvious reference to Gorey is the boy sitting on a cushion in front of a painting. Other references include an unidentified painting resembling Gustav Klimt's The Kiss (1907-1908) and a "Scanning Machine" designed by Frenchman François Willème in 1860.

    Remember being in high school in 1994 when The Downward Spiral came out. Listened to it on infinite repeat on my CD player. 3 years later this amazing song came out.
    After the Downward Spiral, this was the only new NIN song for the next 5 years, which back then felt like an eternity for new material by Trent. I payed extra cash for the Rusty Nails bootleg compilations and interview CDs with Trent just to hear something new, but the Perfect Drug was still the only “new” original material I had from 1994 until The Fragile came out in 1999. I wore out The Lost Highway Soundtrack-Track 3, playing it over and over.
    In September 2018 I got to see him play this great song live for the first time ever at Red Rocks. Thanks for this one song Trent that kept me going during that long stretch as a teenager between albums.
