This is probably an ironic shitpost seeing how overplayed the song is, but seriously, Hurt's lyrics are fantastic. How did Reznor manage to write that after shit like "Mr. Self Destruct", and "Heresy"? The dude is a lyrical retard 90% of the time.

He's a fucking amazing producer though

>All this time I swore i'd never be like my old man
>What the hey its time to face exactly what I am

>I'm just a face in the crowd
>Nothing to worry about
>Not even trying to stand out
>I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller
>And I got nothing to say
>It's all been taken away
>I just behave and obey
>I'm afraid I am starting to fade away

You are my center
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

>Safe in your place deep in the earth
>That's when they'll know what you were really worth
>Forgotten while you're here
>Remembered for a while

>Star dust
>Space fuck- cunt
>Cunt

? Heresy has great lyrics and self destruct works fine

peace sells but who's buyin?

>Calling Sister Midnight
>I'm a breakage inside

IT HASN'T BEEN MY DAY FOR A COUPLE YEARS
WHAT'S A COUPLE MORE?

Friends tv show theme song?

WHEN YOU TRY YOUR BEST BUT YOU DON'T SUCCEED

AND IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTEEER

ITGOESITGOESITGOESITGOESITGOESITGOESITGOESITGOESGUILLOTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

you are blessed if you can still take this song seriously

>I run towards light
>Maybe the glow of people
>Something warm and enticing
>My heaven is other people

>i may be your guy but ill look after you
>were not in love but ill make love to you
>when youre not here ill save some for you
>im not him but i mean something to you

I will sing sweetly hope that the notes change but
I do not need it to happen. I’m not resigned to it. And
If they never do I’ll sing your name in every line.
Just like I did throughout this. Just like I’ve always done.
In every gun, the empty church, and every tortured son.
In all those giving up. In all those giving in.
Until I die I will sing our names in unison.

Until I die I will sing our names in unison.

>And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon
>But the truth is that I see you now
>Still talk to you like you're around

>But I guess I'd say you left too soon
>But the truth is that you never left
>'Cause I never let myself forget

>There are things I can't explain
>Why a seashell loves the sand?
>Why tornadoes love the plains?
>Why my dreams have lost their wings?

>There are things I can't explain
>Why tornadoes love the plains?
>Why the city quiets at dawn?
>Why I couldn't stop my tears?

That whole album desu
>CAN I STILL GET INTO HEAVEN IF I KILL MYSELF?

>I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
>Handful of complaints, but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars

>January 19th
>WE BURIED OUR SON TODAY

>Pray I get old just to hear I been the future, just to see my influence in this genre of music
>And might make it to see somehow, if it wasn't for these pills here now
>And no matter how it gets, I hold on
>Rolling up this dope to cope I float on, I float on

Don't ever ask me how I spend the only part of my life I like all locked away inside of a bedroom.
On the handlebars of your bike,
I rode a wave of emotion I can't begin to place.

>I wield my two fists of iron but i'm going nowhere

>Lately I have been frequenting bad houses
>Places no respectable man would be seen
>I hate myself for my weakness
>My past sickens me
>I tell myself I will not go
>Even as I drive there

>Knee deep in static
>I hear you breaking up
>I'm breaking up
>I guess we're breaking up
>You're not the other woman
>You're just another

>Another hobby for a guy like me.

>It's been too hard living
>but I'm afraid to die

>and yet find, and yet i find repeating in my head
>if i can't be own, i'd feel better dead

>Do you realize
>That everyone
>You know
>Some day
>Will Die

best song on the album

musicians should be banned from writing lyrics and forced to have actual writers do it for them. Fucking atrocious shit ITT.

>I will rise up early and dress myself up nice
>And I will leave the house and check the deadlock twice
>And I will find a crowd and blend in for a minute
>And I will try to find a little comfort in it
>And I will get lonely and gasp for air
>And send your name up from my lips like a signal flare

>the years start coming and they don't stop coming

>I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING WHERE
>THIS LOVE SHOULD BE

Stay gone for a while
Stay gone, eyes twitch and then smile
Stay gone for a while
It takes a needle point to smile

>IF YOU LOVED ME SO MUCH THEN WHY'D YOU LET ME GO

>I am my father's son
>I am no one
>I cannot love
>It's in my blood

>lost in the fog, head in the smoke
>laughing at the world cause her life is a joke

>I'm not living
>I'm just killing time

>pull me out
>can't you stop this all from happening?

>I brought trees to blow through, but it's just me and no you
>Stayed up 'til my phone died, smoking big, rolling solo

>I, I, I
>Know you gotta leave, leave, leave
>Take down some summer time
>Give up, just tonight, night, night

>I THOUGHT THAT I WAS DREAMING WHEN YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME

this one every time

But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

God i dont know why all the hate with trent's lyrics. I've read lots of comments about the cringe momments in TDS but the only line i dont like is the heresy's chorus. Songs like the becoming are 10/10 lirically and mr self destruct works well.

>I was spoiled by lavish thoughts
>They don't compare, no not at all

fugg

real love isn't like in the movies

My guy!! This album is lyrically, and as a whole, fantastic but that song is a standout

youtube.com/watch?v=Ci1K9Zcwvy4

>Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

>LOVE IS NATURAL AND REAL
>BUT NOT FOR YOU MY LOVE

>That's the way everyday goes
>Every time we've no control

THIS ALWAYS PART GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS
ALSO SEIGFRIED

>So what's wrong with taking the backstreets

Your opinion is shit and so is your personality.

>Cigarette stained smile all covered in sin
>My big homie died young; just turned older than him
>I seen it happen, I seen it happen, I see it always
>He still be screaming, I see his demons in empty hallways

losing friends while in high school is the worst loss I've experienced in my life

>But now old friends are acting strange
>They shake their heads, they say I've changed

>Well, I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words
>And I'll talk real loud, goddamn right I'll be heard
>You'll remember the guy that said all those big words he must've learned in college

and these

>when will it end
>when will it end?
>when will it end
>WHEN WILL IT END

Every time.

don stepped outside

What song?

All of "Still I Dream of It" ruins my life:
Time for supper now
Day's been hard and I'm so tired
I feel like eating now
Smell the kitchen now
Hear the maid whistle a tune
My thoughts are fleeting now

Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above

Young and beautiful
Like a tree that's just been planted
I found life today
I made mistakes today
Will I ever learn the lessons
That all come my way

When I was younger
My mother told me
Jesus loved the world
And if that's true then
Why hasn't he helped me to find a girl
And find my world

'Til then I'm just a dreamer
I'm convinced of it
The hypnosis of our minds can take us far away
It's so easy now
You see someone up there high
And heaven's here to stay

I'll find my world
I'll find my world
Someday I'll find my world

yes

the first line is "I may be younger"

>It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passion's kiss
Through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

>You're gonna run
>It's alright
>Everybody does

>When I say bye, you say bye
>Dear Alvin

>You think you're getting over
>As time flies you're getting older
>Waking up with nobody to hold ya

These songs are from the perspective of a man on a Downward Spiral. The cringey lyrics are the character based on Trent (in his early 20s I think) breaking down. He's not like Marylin Manson. He always had some self awareness.

Since he was small
Had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him

>in a grave within a grave
>it was the first time that I prayed
>no one there to tell me that I shouldn't be afraid

>Take a day plant some trees
>May they shade you from me
>May your children play beneath

FUCK

Most decent artists are at least capable of isolated bursts of inspired genius.

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
And I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

>I BUILD MYSELF A NICE LITTLE CAGE
>WITH BARS OF ANGER AND A LOCK OF RAGE
>I CAN'T HELP ASKING, WHO'S GOT THE KEY?
>WHEN I KNOW DAMN WELL, IT'S ME

>i'm not living
>i'm just killing time

RUNNING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

...

I can't get that sound you make out of my head
There's a mean bone in my body
It's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer
And I won't take that from you
Because I'd hurt a fly

I'm waiting, please come by
I've got the guts now
To meet your eye
Those guts are killing
But I can't stop now
Got to connect with you girl
Before I forget how
Please want to hang around?
You’ve got to wonder
What it is we found

I took my shirt off in the yard
No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden
Now it's not
My shirt's back on
I forgot my songs
The glow is gone
My gliding body stopped

christ this one is brutal
has anyone else noticed how thom suddenly went from a fine lyricist to a great lyricist?

>what about mah
>MAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa.....

shit dude gives me chills dude like shit idk why like shit man

Thom wrote true love waits more than 20 years ago

>Look Dad I did it
>Yup, look Dad I did it
>This the same boy that was dancing in your kitchen
>And in the back seat singing, that’s tradition
>It sucks it took you passing to get me close to my sisters
>And my little brother not close enough I admit it
>Just sucks when I’m at your funeral and no one know I existed
>And I'm the one with your name man, isn't that twisted?
>But I ain’t really tripping man, that’s family business
>Had the same outfit on I graduated in
>Cause I heard you were fighting the doctors
>And they still made you miss it
>And that was down to the shoes
>The Stealth Foams, my favorite
>Third and last time will be at my first Grammy nomination
>Like look Dad I made it
>Yup look Dad I made it

>she's gone like the rainbow that shining yesterday
>but now shes home beside me and id like her here to stay
>shes a cold forsaken beauty and it dont trust anyone
>i wish i was beside her but I'm not there I'm gone

>All I want in life is a little bit of love to take the pain away

It's blunt and simplistic to the point of being maudlin, but it really sums it up, doesn't it?

JUST

>Hope a garden grows where we dance this afternoon
>Hope our children walk by spring and flowers bloom
>Hope they’ll get to see my color
>Know that I’ve enjoyed sunshine

martsch > brock honestly

songwriting from the perspective of a rapist is harder than trailer park life

it's good

>Always the summers are slipping away
>Find me a way for making it stay
