i imagine myself walking by the ocean on an empty beach just throwing rocks into the ocean, trying to clear my head after a break up but slowly being consumed by the feeling of helplessness
I woke up today To find myself in the other place With a trail of footprints From where I ran away It seems everything I've heard Just might be true And you know me (well you think you do) Sometimes, I have everything - yet I wish I felt something Do you know how far this has gone? Just how damaged have I become? When I think I can overcome It runs even deeper And in a dream I'm a different me With a perfect you We fit perfectly And for once in my life I feel complete And I still want to ruin it Afraid to look As clear as day This plan has long been underway I hear them call I cannot stay The voice inviting me away Do you know how far this has gone? Just how damaged have I become? When I think I can overcome It runs even deeper Everything that matters is gone All the hands of hope have withdrawn Could you try to help me hang on? It runs... I straight I won't crack On my way And I can't turn back I'm okay I'm on track On my way And I can't turn back I stayed On this track Gone too far And I can't come back I stayed On this track Lost my way Can't come back
I don't know why but E3L2: The Vaults of Zin from Quake *always* pops into my head when I think about this song. That recurring hollow/ethereal noise is very similar to the teleporter and wind sound effects for that game. Tis always nice when a little bit of Quake leaks into other Trent-related material.
I hope Trent will eventually get back to these complex layers and interesting rhythms. Lately the drums beats he uses are a bit simplistic and predictable. However his latest EP is a bit promising , perhaps he's venturing back to lush production
You hope that a 54-year-old man will become like he was when he was 34? Humans cognitively peak around the age of 30. Our brains slow down after that; we're less creative and less quick. Don't hold your breath. When you're 50, you're simply not going to be able to be like you were when you were 30.
He'sappearantly living the good, clean, and healthy life these days...I'm willing to bet he'll never get back to this cerebral style. However, while I dont care too much for much of nine inch nails after with teeth, his movie scores are pretty damn good.
@@yep9462 yeah definitely, Ghosts 1-4 is some good inspiring stuff. I dont necessarily dislike the newer stuff but i just dont feel compellled to give it multiple listens like the first 5 albums.
@Cleopatra VII Bowie peaked in the 1970s and 1980s. Byrne peaked in the 1980s. That aside, the presence of statistical outliers here are exceptions that prove the rule; if a a 55-year-old is making hit music, then it is exceptional in part *because* of the age!

I never fully appreciated the snare hits happening in the verse until I heard this. This album has a ridiculous amount of depth to it
This has always been one of my favorite Fragile tracks. It has such a deep mystical atmosphere to it.

I am even deeper in love with this track...THANKS!!!
3:25 and on is why I love this song.
I woke up today
To find myself in the other place
With a trail of footprints
From where I ran away
It seems everything I've heard
Just might be true
And you know me
(well you think you do)
Sometimes, I have everything - yet I wish I felt something
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
And in a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you
We fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete
And I still want to ruin it
Afraid to look
As clear as day
This plan has long been underway
I hear them call
I cannot stay
The voice inviting me away
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
Everything that matters is gone
All the hands of hope have withdrawn
Could you try to help me hang on?
It runs...
I straight
I won't crack
On my way
And I can't turn back
I'm okay
I'm on track
On my way
And I can't turn back
I stayed
On this track
Gone too far
And I can't come back
I stayed
On this track
Lost my way
Can't come back

@@CastroEulis145 Ghosts I-IV was pretty good too in my opinion. I like putting it in the background when I'm reading or working on something

This song gives me Goldeneye 007 vibes
With beats by Dre
