favourite lyrics from NIN

[Alexmule1]

I really like:

the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

From "We're In This Together Now" and

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear

I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below

From "The Great Below".
I also like the lyrics from "The Perfect Drug" alot.

"Stuck in this hole with the s**t and the piss and it's hard to believe it could come down to this..

Back at the beginning.

Sinking, spinning."  

[made from Nails]

Lately and probably forever it will be Right Where It Belongs

See the animal in it's cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you really are alone
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?  

[Ikaruga_Soul]

`P i n k

the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

Seconded, We're In This Together has some great lyrics. I especially like those lines at the end of the second verse.  

[Th3 perfect drug]

I hope they cannot see...
The limitless potential
Living inside of me
to murder everything
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer
heart heart heart  

[IFocusOnThePain]

You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

You keep looking but you can't find the woods

"Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell.."

"You better take a good look because I'm full of s**t.
s**t.
s**t.
SHIIIIIIIIIIIT."

"I stay inside my bed
I have lived so many lives, all in my head.

I want to know everything.
I want to be everywhere.
I want to ******** everyone in the world.
I want to do something that matters."

"Hey, Mother. <********>. Pig. There's a lot of things that I hoped you could help me understand."  

[Killu Killaya]

___________||tried to save a place for my cuts and my scratches.||tried to overcome my complications and my catches.||
|| nothing ever grows and the sun doesn't shine all day... ||&&&

Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here

Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am tainted
The two of us
Were never meant to be
All these pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Gone fading everything
And all that could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me

-And All That Could Have Been


--------------

Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this, for you

All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
It makes me disappear

As I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below

I can still feel you
Even so far away.

-The Great Below

---------------------------------

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 ******** were YOU?

-Somewhat Damaged

"The smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes.."

"Sometimes, I have everything..
Yet I wish I felt something."

"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."

"And just for the record
Just so you know
I did not believe
That you could sink so low.

You think that you can beat them.
I know that you won't.
You think you have everything.
But no, you don't."


"If I could fix myself I'd-
But it's too late for me."  

[Th3 perfect drug]

Bow down in position
Against the polished steel
This is something different
You'll like the way this feels
No time for asking questions
No time for wondering
We've heard enough from you now
We've heard everything
We're gonna play a new game
You'll put on this blindfold
You'll do what we tell you
You'll do as you're told
Used to be the leader but
Now comes the time to serve
Maybe we'll show some mercy
Maybe you'll get what you deserve

Count down to the end
Gonna make it come faster
Right around the bend
Is a coming disaster
Count down to the end
And we're headed there faster
Come on down my friend
It's time to meet your master

or

I've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flows down the path we
have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we've found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and I'm the king
nothing else means anything  

[Seth Roganov]

Mine would have to be.

"YOU! and Me! We're in this together NOW! None of you can stop us Now! We will make through some how!!!"

~ The Great Below ~

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear

~ Gave Up ~

Perfect little dream
The kind that hurts the most
Forgot how it feels well almost
No one to blame always the same
Open my eyes wake up in flames

~ Right Where It Belongs ~

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

~ In This Twilight ~

Dust to dust
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person
If I could only do it all again

 

[Solanum Nigrum]

I’ll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle’s already in my eye
And all the world’s weight is on my back and I don’t even know why
And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said “goodbye”

I was up above it
Now I’m down in it

(Down in It)

or

She makes it sweeter than the sun
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
The temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track
Itches my skin right off of my back
I'll heal your wounds
I'll set you free
I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstacy

How does it feel?

I am so dirty on on the inside

How does it feel?

Suck

A thousand lips a thousand tongues
A thousand throats a thousand lungs
A thousand ways to make it true
I want to do terrible things to you

(Suck)

Mr. Self Destruct is pretty good too...
