My brother sent me this song shortly before his death a few months ago. I listen to it now and it helps me understand what he was going through. It's the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I only had him in my life, and he was too far gone for me to save him. He had already given up. I guess the only thing I can do now is pretend like this was a message he was trying to convey to me, and try to keep my life from going the same way. But, was it? I think it was just him feeling, living, the words in this song, wishing someone could help. And I failed. I will probably end up the same way. I've lived a decent life. When it's time, it's time. Hopefully I find some purpose before it's all over. I just wish he was here so we could figure all this out together. He was so smart.
Man, you nailed it. People who have no experience with it or don’t understand it think that people with depression are wallowing in self-pity. The reality is that there is no extreme sadness, but there’s no extremehappiness, either. You are just gray and and indifferent.
My girl's favorite is Maynard, mine has always been Trent. We both love both, but online she goes by ManyrdMinion, and Trent always was all always will be my #1, the music resonates with every part of me, the lyrics are literally woven into the tapestry of my life and are a part of who I am...a hauntingly beautiful, broken, dark god with a taste of the void touching his soul...just like Reznor himself
As a recovered herion addict (12 years clean) I remember hearing this song and the lyrics fitting into what my life had become - it’s like Trent was singing my thoughts. Beautiful song, which helped me through a horrible dark time. Xx
Good on you for getting and keeping clean,mate. You're a fucking legend💜👌🏻. I've been struggling with the shit for over 20 years and methadone nearly as long. I don't see much light at the end of my tunnel but hearing success stories such as yourself gives me hope..no matter how small and fleeting it is.xX
It cannot keep raining, the supply of bad will run out. Wishing you well to whomever needs to hear this. Keep pushing through every day, it might seem or feel the same, but dull grey is the gateway to color. Take care of your mind and body will follow and vice versa.
I've never done any drugs and barely drink. Never even smoked a cig or a joint. But believe it or not, I'm envious of addicts who recover and can see life in a new way and feel motivated again. I'm completely sober and songs like this and Hurt and many others speak to my own pain, isolation and failure...but sadly I can't even point to addiction as the reason. And I can't find new life in recovery. It just all stays the same.
I love how they made a video of just them playing the song and it's one of their best videos ever. No fxs, no cgi...nothing weird. Just watching them do their thing is all we really need.
Yes, and the version of this song here is even better than the studio release... if that's even possible. The clarity of the guitar and drums is perfect. I would love to find copy of the audio aside from what is taken from the video.
Reznor is so weirdly honest about shit. I seriously respect him for that. Not many artists will put themselves out there like Trent does when he writes about his own life and thoughts. Nothing speaks to us like truth and honesty, so naturally most of us can relate to what Trent puts out there. What a picture he paints of what our numbed lives are becoming in our tech-controlled world. "There is no love here and there is no pain" Trent... you are a fucking genius of epic proportions, dude.
not sure I agree with the neo-luddist sentiment but do agree in that the raw conveyance of feeling on his part is a significant part of why I love NIN to fucking death. nothing really connects as well for me as reznor just being candid as fuck about shit
For some reason that line hit me so hard. - I believe I can see the future, because I repeat the same routine - How does one escape that routine? I am being jobless, because no matter what job I start, I get bored of it. Besides my daydream of becoming an Archaeologist (which will never happen) I just don't see myself evolving. I simply don't want to work anywhere for longer than a month if even. I get tired of the people, the work and waking up starts with my body and mind fighting with every cell and thought against getting up. Every day is exactly the same.
just listened to sabbath planet caravan reading about overdoses on aic rotten apple - the answer isn't justin timberlake or led zeppelin (all love songs) - maybe next song won't be sexy time, more drugs....
dont stay at a job for more than a month? that might be the first thing to fix. Put in a good year or 2 at least and see how much you saved up to go out on archaeology trips as a weekend activity and hobby
I believe I can see the future Cause I repeat the same routine I think I used to have a purpose But then again That might have been a dream I think I used to have a voice Now I never make a sound I just do what I've been told I really don't want them to come around Oh, no [Chorus:] Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same There is no love here and there is no pain Every day is exactly the same I can feel their eyes are watching In case I lose myself again Sometimes I think I'm happy here Sometimes, yet I still pretend I can't remember how this got started But I can tell you exactly how it will end [Chorus] I'm writing on a little piece of paper I'm hoping someday you might find Well I'll hide it behind something They won't look behind I'm still inside here A little bit comes bleeding through I wish this could have been any other way But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do [Chorus x2]
I'm still inside here (A little bit comes bleeding through sometimes.) I wish this could have been any other way, but I just don't know, what else I could have done.
What’s strange to me how much this song resonates. Like even when changing things up and what not, there always eventually comes a point where literally everyday feels exactly the same. Life really is just fucking strange.
I've been listening to this song for years now. Every now and then when life starts to suck I listen to it along with my list of other depression songs. I don't think I'm suicidal but this song always make me feel like there's nothing wrong with wanting to get to the end of this so called life. We're all just going through the repetitive motions of life. Some of us keep it together to make it through all of the BS and some of decide to find the end quicker... either way the happy joyful moments seem to get fewer and further apart the older I get and way too much of it is the crap that just makes me feel more numb.
+Lorenzo Foglia Really!? Wow... I had no idea. How utterly charming! I bought this CD right after it came out. Then lent it to a couple of friends and eventually lost track of it. Thank buhjaazus for TH-cam!
Reznor is a true musical talent. Loved seeing him win the Oscar for best soundtrack. Really showed his musical genius above and beyond just being a badass rockstar.
A song that reminds me of one of the biggest things that makes me feel empty inside, that a constant never ending routine is draining and lifeless, and I never get a chance to be me, or be actually happy
You need to break your mold. I'm now dealing with stage 4 cancer and now only wishing I'd have done it sooner. Do it before you end up with the regrets like I have.
I was a drug addict for years been clean for 5 years and this song spoke to me than and now when i hear it i get flooded with an overwhelming emotion thoughts etc . crazy the power of music
Same for me but Fall to Pieces with Velvet Revolver. Its been really hard to stay sober these last few months and everywhere I go or everytime on I get on TH-cam the algorithm puts Velvet Revolver in my face.
I was watching the film "Wanted" last night with Angelina Jolie and this song was in the soundtrack, grabbed my attention with the lyrics. I think I'll have to check out more of this band.
I think the Song is about daily routine that becomes apathy to the point where you cant even move. Not because you are not physically able to, but because you dont even want to, paralyzed by the boredom and by the indifference you feel.
@@davidpence3560I was working a shit job doing construction sometimes for 30+ days before a day off. I come back to this to remind me how much better life can be
This song is about what means something to you. Addiction, PTSD, depression or whatever. Take from it what you want. As with all of Trent's stuff he's giving you his experience, it's up to you what you take away from it or how you relate to it. There are no rules, there is no right or wrong.
Brett Jordan i dont really think it’s necessary to explain a song titled “everyday is exactly the same”. It’s about being stuck in a vicious circle numbingly
In 2006, I starting having this awful pain out of nowhere. By August I couldn’t work anymore. Most days I lay on my side in bed, wishing I’d just die. I remember listening to this over and over, describing my life perfectly. I went from a lucrative career as a programmer, mom and wife to what felt like nothing. Took another 6 years and 8 surgeries to figure out what the fuck was wrong with me. I’m better now, with meds, but I’m still disabled. The pandemic feels like this too.
Im disabled with this f#cked up muscular dystrophy and 52 years old and now living in a assisted living facility i feel this way everyday lying in this bed dying it suck got to be strong 💪
Yep. The same feeling. NIN have some kind of energy coming from beneath the mind, from the Void itself. And sometimes this energy is what keeps me alive. It has a bitter taste but keeps me on the surface.
Most stuff people go through there's help groups n meetings where you can share your whatever with people in similar situations. There isn't support groups for some things tho as some thing are so uncommon it doesn't end up as em.
I seriously can't even listen to the album version. THIS version is amazing. The bass sounds so much more real, the instrumentals are perfection and Trent's voice is incredible.
Whether intentional or not, the combination of this song's lyrics alongside its music together creates one of the most sickeningly accurate portraits of addiction I've ever heard...the sweeping music covers the 'high-drama' aspect--where life-or-death scenarios seem to be occurring constantly, simply as a matter of course, like there is a monster in your head that is not you but is somehow wearing your skin, in control of your muscles, your words...even your heart. And then the lyrics hit from the opposite angle: the mundane, grinding, repetitive day-in-day-out that is the actual reality of it; a place where "there is no pain"...but "there is no love", either...A purgatory. A 9 to 5 where you punch in to feel sick, and don't clock out until that feeling is alleviated...and then start it over again the next day. The one moment where the narration breaks away, and the 'real' person manages to get a few words in ["I'm writing on a little piece of paper..."] just serves to dovetail the two halves together. So fucking underrated
+Tom C same for programmers .... whole day locked in a dark room, without a word to say since everyone watching on their screens for 8+ hours solving puzzles. One day ill make it out and walk the streets at 10 00 AM bathing on sunlight smiling and looking into windows of those offices i am currently living in ... .with neither negative or positive emotion ... passing by and enjoying the life. I might even climb on some tree i find ... just because i can ... thats what we did as kids .. aight.
The joy he shows in tossing that tambourine (a repeating, rhythmic element) away for the last verse of the song is like a little hint at breaking out of a cycle. Beautiful.
i remember hearing this for the first time when i was in a good place....it reminded me of everything that used to bother me....never thought i'd have to hear it differently
This album was one of only 3 CD's I had with me on my 1st deployment to Iraq in 2005. Those 3 albums got played over and over for 12 months. To me this song is the perfect song to represent being on deployment.
Listening to this getting geared up to see them in Bangkok. Fuck if this isn't just tragic irony that I've been feeling like my life is someone's NIN mix tape. Trent really does know how to identify and more importantly express the angst and pain, sprinkled with a hint of pleasure, that is life. Fucking genius
Is it just me, or does Trent look like he's having a great time here? By the last minute he's struggling to hide his smile. I SAW YOU, YOU ANGSTY SHIRT-WEARING MAN!
this song hit me the most every time i was deployed. i wish i could find of collection of pictures of my military career and calibrate it with this song. perfect.
"Can't remember how this got started but I can tell you exactly how it will end" That's pretty deep dark. There's only one way someone can know exactly how their life will end
Nice interpretation but i think he means that you know how the day will end bc you have same day everyday but you dont know how you came in that cycle of every repeating itself
@determined919 previous commenters are missing the point, perhaps they are good hearted Sumatrans. I to cannot remember how this got started but I can tell you exactly how it will end.
I can relate to this song because most days are pretty much the same. We especially wake up early and go to work then come home to do it all over again. But it is life and being grounded and having kids you have to do what it takes to make sure that there taking care of.
this song hit me hard the minute it actually came out and heard it the first time. I appreciate what Trent did for his life and does now. He is showing and saying that is could be better, we just need to not let it get to us and knockout the negative that consumes and takes a life sometimes.
Over the years with a remarkable regularity Trent has left me so impressed with his ability to communicate and render an emotional experience and always with such a respectable authenticity that is all too rare. Some of the time I'm moved to such an extreme that I am at the end of the song in awe. And then there are the times when I can relate so much to the work that I can't help but think in another universe I just might write the exact same song and I am surprised at how we think and feel so similarly about something. For all the respect he has earned for being an artists artist and musicians musician it measures small next to the legendary status of his future legacy. If he stopped creating right now that would not change. Thank you, Trent for doing what you do and for doing it with constant artistic integrity. Respect from a kindred spirit. (for a complete lack of a better term)
This song somehow helped me when I worked in this one stupid fucking factory for nearly 9 years. Everyday was literally exactly the same. Thank you Trent, for this beautiful song, and all the others.
Artiste qui force le respect de part sa sensibilité et son honnêteté. Cette chanson est une pure merveille d'introspection par rapport aux moments les plus sombres que j'ai pu traverser dans ma vie.
Well good morning, got a 5 am wake up call again and this one popped up in my head still a hit. Hopefully soon I can be done with debt I must pay and finish with, vary soon.... Thank you GOD for intervening and saving my life and soul...
I love the studio track of this, but this version seems so much more raw and visceral, like you're peaking in on something you're not supposed to see. It's almost like it's the part of ourselves we hide from everyone else.
The lyrics reminds me of the lyrics of "two ghosts" by Harry Styles 💙💚 Thank you Louis for introducing us to NIN. Never heard of this band before. This is my favorite song from NIN. The lyrics are intense!
Good luck with that. People like me are making it all over the world in small towns and suburbs as we're forced to work shitty dead-end jobs, and I know I'll die here. I've already accepted the shit.
This song came on in a movie last night. The movie was from 2008 and this song I hadn’t heard since I was in high school. I’m a grown ass man now and damn, it hits different.
I try and think of something to change my life for the better every day. I strive for better every day of my life.Unfortunately I have to have a job, so I just try and make the best of the crappy situation.
J. Lynn i feel the same way. don't lose hope. it's the only thing that we have in this life. opportunities are passing us by everyday and it takes a profoundly driven person to seize the moment. at least that's what I keep telling myself. may luck be with you.
J. Lynn No offense, but I guess you see it the wrong way... It´s true that we reapeat our routines and if you think this to an end, the final conclusion is that life is pointless.... But the thing is: If there is no cerrect or good direction to go or a real goal to accomplish in life, the you have to be this goal... Make your life only circle around yourself and find the inner balance to counter these rough facts of a rough life with a laid back attitude ;) Make the thought "I want to smile if I die, no matter when it happens, even tommorow" to your most inner rule and you will enjoy life way more :) Hope this helps you... or anyone...
Some love for the bridge section? 2:47 is probably my favorite bridge/coda section of any song, culminating at my favorite part of the song: 3:48. Most pop songs just put in a bridge section for some variety to stretch the song out and the bridge just feels forced, like it doesn't belong. The bridge here fits perfectly into what the rest of the song does.
its interesting to me how u guys equate this to addiction.. because when i was in a halfway house, this is exactly how sobriety felt... to me... in teresting
I honestly think that most people can relate to this song. I definitely can too. A lot of people online think this song is about multiple different things but I think this song is about getting tired of waking up and doing the same routine over and over and kind of dying inside and then ultimately wanting to die and killing yourself.. especially when the music slows down and he starts talking about writing a note and hiding it in a hard to find place.. it's a great dark lyrical song with music to match.

The daily struggle of someone with depression. Every day is exactly the same, there is no love here and there is no pain.
The human condition
Man, you nailed it. People who have no experience with it or don’t understand it think that people with depression are wallowing in self-pity. The reality is that there is no extreme sadness, but there’s no extremehappiness, either. You are just gray and and indifferent.

One of my favorite NIN songs. Trent has a skill of bringing life's observations to light within a musical backstory.
Trent looks like a teacher who you wouldn't expect to be playing in a band after school hours.
That's what happens when you grow up.
Severus Snape. It's uncanny.
He was not the teacher but the Janitor. Which is awesome.
No, he looks like an old Vampire who has his own Rock Band.

Yep. The same feeling. NIN have some kind of energy coming from beneath the mind, from the Void itself. And sometimes this energy is what keeps me alive. It has a bitter taste but keeps me on the surface.
Same
Most stuff people go through there's help groups n meetings where you can share your whatever with people in similar situations. There isn't support groups for some things tho as some thing are so uncommon it doesn't end up as em.
I seriously can't even listen to the album version. THIS version is amazing. The bass sounds so much more real, the instrumentals are perfection and Trent's voice is incredible.
Whether intentional or not, the combination of this song's lyrics alongside its music together creates one of the most sickeningly accurate portraits of addiction I've ever heard...the sweeping music covers the 'high-drama' aspect--where life-or-death scenarios seem to be occurring constantly, simply as a matter of course, like there is a monster in your head that is not you but is somehow wearing your skin, in control of your muscles, your words...even your heart. And then the lyrics hit from the opposite angle: the mundane, grinding, repetitive day-in-day-out that is the actual reality of it; a place where "there is no pain"...but "there is no love", either...A purgatory. A 9 to 5 where you punch in to feel sick, and don't clock out until that feeling is alleviated...and then start it over again the next day. The one moment where the narration breaks away, and the 'real' person manages to get a few words in ["I'm writing on a little piece of paper..."] just serves to dovetail the two halves together. So fucking underrated
The anthem of everyone who works a retail job.
lOL Hear! Hear! Mr. Reznor could recruit quite a large chorus for this song from the service-sector workforce nowadays.
How are you meaningless fucks working miserable jobs not suicidal?
you think that when you're younger then the shit changes and you're like God those were the days
Amen brother
+Tom C same for programmers .... whole day locked in a dark room, without a word to say since everyone watching on their screens for 8+ hours solving puzzles. One day ill make it out and walk the streets at 10 00 AM bathing on sunlight smiling and looking into windows of those offices i am currently living in ... .with neither negative or positive emotion ... passing by and enjoying the life. I might even climb on some tree i find ... just because i can ... thats what we did as kids .. aight.
God I love this album. Such a treasure.
Me also, this is the album.yhat made me appreciate and fall in love with the band - In my opinion it Is their best and I love every song on it
I could never pick a favorite NIN album. They are all my favorite unique children...
The joy he shows in tossing that tambourine (a repeating, rhythmic element) away for the last verse of the song is like a little hint at breaking out of a cycle. Beautiful.
Gosh, I love this song. Basically listen to this every day *sigh*
Thats because everyday is exactly the same!
Meeee
i remember hearing this for the first time when i was in a good place....it reminded me of everything that used to bother me....never thought i'd have to hear it differently
alphaotto88 same, this song had to come back to me later in life too
One of the my prefered Band..wonderful song… i love NIN
This is my favorite performance of this song.
cory hawks Considering they never play it live, this is probably one of the only performances of this song.
This album was one of only 3 CD's I had with me on my 1st deployment to Iraq in 2005. Those 3 albums got played over and over for 12 months. To me this song is the perfect song to represent being on deployment.
I break down every time the music builds to, "I can't remember how this got started, But I can tell you exactly how it will end". I fall apart 🎶
Yeah exactly how it will end hits home in this human race bullshit.
Listening to this getting geared up to see them in Bangkok. Fuck if this isn't just tragic irony that I've been feeling like my life is someone's NIN mix tape. Trent really does know how to identify and more importantly express the angst and pain, sprinkled with a hint of pleasure, that is life. Fucking genius
one of the best songs every written....the exact story of my life.....
I feel this song every day I go back to work. True masterpiece.
kkkkkk yea
Trent conveys the feeling of monotony that we all have as we go through life.Great song!!!
Goddamn! This song will NEVER get old! I love it!!!
Probably because everyday is the same.
+Sylvester Socks Hahahahaha
😊
Still remember my first exposure to NIN. Quake. Loved finding those ammo cans, usually at the last second.
Is it just me, or does Trent look like he's having a great time here? By the last minute he's struggling to hide his smile.
I SAW YOU, YOU ANGSTY SHIRT-WEARING MAN!
James Beil the little freak out around 3:45 got me smiling
Could be explained away as hysterical
It means expression smiling does not necessarily mean good time.You can smile and pain too.
James Beil it's adorable when an artist looks like they're having fun with their career.
If his shirt comes off that's fine : )
this song hit me the most every time i was deployed. i wish i could find of collection of pictures of my military career and calibrate it with this song. perfect.
Timeless song. Still every bit as good as the day it released.
"Can't remember how this got started but I can tell you exactly how it will end"
That's pretty deep dark. There's only one way someone can know exactly how their life will end
no dumbo, he means that when something is repeating itself (everyday), it just becomes predictible and expected
Nice interpretation but i think he means that you know how the day will end bc you have same day everyday but you dont know how you came in that cycle of every repeating itself
@determined919 previous commenters are missing the point, perhaps they are good hearted Sumatrans. I to cannot remember how this got started but I can tell you exactly how it will end.
This song got me through anxiety and depression in 2010.
Thanks Trent.
Loved this song ever since hearing it in the movie "Wanted."
I can relate to this song because most days are pretty much the same. We especially wake up early and go to work then come home to do it all over again. But it is life and being grounded and having kids you have to do what it takes to make sure that there taking care of.
Ok, let's all get this straight, Trent doesn't look like Snape, Snape looks like Trent
They liked it
Correct. The harry potter books were written way after NIN became popular.
You bet.
RIP Alan Rickman
Wonder if Trent was ever asked to do Harry Potter lol
One of the best songs Reznor ever wrote, and he's written a LOT of great songs. This one hits harder than the others.
have you listened to And All That Could've Been, The Great Below or Something I Could Never Have then??
He has written exactly 0 good songs. This band is horrible and anyone who is a fan has no taste.
@@concernedcitizen4933 ok boomer
This is what makes NIN such a great band. Sound great on record, sound ever better live!
Not that many bands call pull this off!
When this album came out I didn't really give this song a second thought. After watching this video version, it's become my anthem.
this song hit me hard the minute it actually came out and heard it the first time. I appreciate what Trent did for his life and does now. He is showing and saying that is could be better, we just need to not let it get to us and knockout the negative that consumes and takes a life sometimes.
That BASS.
this bass tone is incredible. anyone has any idea what kind of eq or pedal is used here?
Its called Twiggy.
Aspiniou it's a filter
my idea is a shitty equalised shitty fuzz
Over the years with a remarkable regularity Trent has left me so impressed with his ability to communicate and render an emotional experience and always with such a respectable authenticity that is all too rare. Some of the time I'm moved to such an extreme that I am at the end of the song in awe.
And then there are the times when I can relate so much to the work that I can't help but think in another universe I just might write the exact same song and I am surprised at how we think and feel so similarly about something.
For all the respect he has earned for being an artists artist and musicians musician it measures small next to the legendary status of his future legacy. If he stopped creating right now that would not change.
Thank you, Trent for doing what you do and for doing it with constant artistic integrity. Respect from a kindred spirit. (for a complete lack of a better term)
They never cease to amaze me... Their songs are just so genuine , so epic, and so intense.
Fucking classic performance.
trent´s vocals are so beautiful🖤🖤
Exactly. I am living these days, over and over again....
Feel it ....
All I know is that this song saved my life. Thank you Trent.
This is the best version of this song. PERIOD.
what a great song. Trent voice is so sick. chills down my spine
Tambourine toss is the best part of the video.
One of my favorites from NIN .. the text is right out of my soul in 2020 like then before.... Love it so much...
The older I get the more relatable this song gets!
It's scary
This song somehow helped me when I worked in this one stupid fucking factory for nearly 9 years. Everyday was literally exactly the same. Thank you Trent, for this beautiful song, and all the others.
Artiste qui force le respect de part sa sensibilité et son honnêteté. Cette chanson est une pure merveille d'introspection par rapport aux moments les plus sombres que j'ai pu traverser dans ma vie.
I think I used to have a Porpoise...:)
Mimosa Madeleines then again, that might of been Dean.
Mimosa Madeleines I think I used to have a voice
EVUURIDAYYYYYYYY
Halo Optional exactly
Halo Optional. I laughed so fucking hard at that!
This song means so much to me. My live is killing me with its routine.
I can't even say how much I can relate to these lyrics. One of the best, one of my favorite.
After all these years, NIN is still my favorite.
This is my jam right now
Well good morning, got a 5 am wake up call again and this one popped up in my head still a hit. Hopefully soon I can be done with debt I must pay and finish with, vary soon.... Thank you GOD for intervening and saving my life and soul...
Every NIN performance is definitely not the same!👍
These men are incredible! it is amazing to watch such artists
I know what you mean! Its so awesome to see artists perform with such energy.
*A message to the future generations:*
_Don't let this song die._
Dont let Trent dissapeared !
*A better message to future generations:*
_learn to think for yourself and stop regurgitating clout-chasing crap like this._
My 12 year old likes NIN now . 👍🏻
@@OniLordMiki
Says snarky person.
That's a little dramatic
Few artists (or people) ever achieve this level of improvement 👏
I have a man crush on Trent........
we all do, bb.
I have a man crush on you, for having a man crush on trent.....
New Age Opinions i do too
I did too. Then I realized I was bisexual. Thanks trent
How did I get over here- Oh that’s right men who like women love me Trent isn’t one of them Sausage fest time for all of you lol
Please go on tour. We need this
I love this song. It fits my mood now more than ever.
I love the studio track of this, but this version seems so much more raw and visceral, like you're peaking in on something you're not supposed to see. It's almost like it's the part of ourselves we hide from everyone else.
The lyrics reminds me of the lyrics of "two ghosts" by Harry Styles 💙💚
Thank you Louis for introducing us to NIN. Never heard of this band before.
This is my favorite song from NIN.
The lyrics are intense!
Agradezco infinitamente la existencia de Nine Inch Nails.
Bring this kind of music back!!!
Good luck with that. People like me are making it all over the world in small towns and suburbs as we're forced to work shitty dead-end jobs, and I know I'll die here. I've already accepted the shit.
I listen to this album nonstop after our family lost my favorite sibling. Really helped me get through a tough time.
This is my Christmas song, have a nice day everyone.
NeoxX112 and it will be mine from now on. Thanks?!?
Its always mine...everyday
Yeah Christmas 2020
Everyone that's a working stiff doing the same shit everyday can easily relate to this song.
and this is both cruel and ironic to listen it on the road to work
Yeah, be happy that you're a cog in the machine! Be happy that nothing you do will ever fucking matter once you're DEAD.
+SirEatsBaconALot I forgot music wasn't art and it isn't open for self interpretation. Yeah, my bad, bro.
SirEatsBaconALot
Did someone beat you up at work or something today? Lol you're being THAT guy on TH-cam today.
SirEatsBaconALot
Yeah, you're obviously upset over something. I hope your coworkers stop bullying you lmao.
This song came on in a movie last night. The movie was from 2008 and this song I hadn’t heard since I was in high school.
I’m a grown ass man now and damn, it hits different.
One of their best
Dave Its probably their best single, except maybe Hurt and We're In This Together.
too many ;)
I like how raw and dirty this is.
Also - everybody in this video is appallingly attractive.
OH yes. Charismatic all the way
This is my favorite song I absolutely love this band. They are beyond talented. Thank you so much.
This is how I feel every single day. Especially work Mon-Fri. And I HATE it!
Maybe you should try, to change something then...
I try and think of something to change my life for the better every day. I strive for better every day of my life.Unfortunately I have to have a job, so I just try and make the best of the crappy situation.
J. Lynn
i feel the same way. don't lose hope. it's the only thing that we have in this life. opportunities are passing us by everyday and it takes a profoundly driven person to seize the moment. at least that's what I keep telling myself. may luck be with you.
Thank you kind Sir, I really appreciate your encouragement. =) I wish all blessings to you.
J. Lynn No offense, but I guess you see it the wrong way... It´s true that we reapeat our routines and if you think this to an end, the final conclusion is that life is pointless.... But the thing is: If there is no cerrect or good direction to go or a real goal to accomplish in life, the you have to be this goal... Make your life only circle around yourself and find the inner balance to counter these rough facts of a rough life with a laid back attitude ;) Make the thought "I want to smile if I die, no matter when it happens, even tommorow" to your most inner rule and you will enjoy life way more :) Hope this helps you... or anyone...
Some love for the bridge section?
2:47 is probably my favorite bridge/coda section of any song, culminating at my favorite part of the song: 3:48. Most pop songs just put in a bridge section for some variety to stretch the song out and the bridge just feels forced, like it doesn't belong. The bridge here fits perfectly into what the rest of the song does.
brilliant dissertation professor! lol
I've never been one for goth, or emo, nothing of that nature. This is just so incredible though. Trent is in a league of his own. And so is his band.
Also the coolest person who ever picked up a tambourine.
I LOVE THIS SONG
Me too. My fav NIN cut
its interesting to me how u guys equate this to addiction.. because when i was in a halfway house, this is exactly how sobriety felt... to me... in teresting
I honestly think that most people can relate to this song. I definitely can too. A lot of people online think this song is about multiple different things but I think this song is about getting tired of waking up and doing the same routine over and over and kind of dying inside and then ultimately wanting to die and killing yourself.. especially when the music slows down and he starts talking about writing a note and hiding it in a hard to find place.. it's a great dark lyrical song with music to match.
Pure bloody genius
