Only thing with music is, the subconscious holds on to and believes every word like a 4 year old child who believes in Father Christmas. Got to curate the variety so it doesn't get a monotone diet of negativity.
I’m 17 years old. My mom introduced me to NIN when I was maybe 11 and I’ve never been the same since. This album has been places with me and it’s just as amazing as it was then.
Listened to this song continuously at Fort Gordon, AIT, May-October 2000. Perfectly sums up the misery, anxiety, repetitive, run-of-the-mill nature of the place that drove us all crazy with every possible emotion on an hourly basis.
Just a reflection Just a glimpse Just a little reminder Of all the what abouts And all the might have Could have beens Another day Some other way But not another reason to continue And now you're one of us The wretched The hopes and prays The better days The far aways Forget it It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it? It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it? Now you know This is what it feels like Now you know This is what it feels like The clouds will part and the sky cracks open And god himself will reach his fucking arm through Just to push you down Just to hold you down Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss And it's hard to believe it could come down to this Back at the beginning Sinking Spinning And in the end We still pretend The time we spend Not knowing when You're finally free And you could be But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it Now you know This is what it feels like Now you know This is what it feels like You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming You can try to stop it but
This album is a masterpiece! I picked it up the day it dropped back in high school. These two CDs never left my discman for a soild year. Transitions from one song to the next is Soo smooth. This hit me like a ton of bricks. Really put the confusion and anxiety into something you can just zone out to and not feel like you soo alone.
This song takes me to the worst part of my life, starting over again at the bottom. I never judged those who had less than me but I thought if I did everything ‘correctly,’ I’d never be at the bottom. The truth is, I didn’t really want insight to homelessness, poverty, mental illness, and trauma that exceeded my past traumas. But I got it, and I never saw it coming. It was beyond my control. Beyond anyone else’s control. It just happened.
I've started from the bottom, over again, 3 times in my life and i'm only half way through my 30s. I'm currently the most successful I've ever been, but it comes at a price that i don't know I can continue to pay for too much longer. I have a lot of experiences under my belt now and I know if i HAVE to do it all over again I will be ok... Not that I want to. Not sure where life is going to take me or even how much time I have left to get there. But i know what it feels like.
Haven't listened to this album in 10+ years, truly a masterpiece. Not a bad track on it! And the fact that RUclips did not place ads at the start of this song made my day. The way he seamlessly goes from the previous track to this one gives me chills each time!
fuck, that Terminator-like synth bass, the bleak piano riff, and the punchy kick and wavecrushed drums is just.... so goddamn beautiful. I never heard anything like it, even after more than 20 years now
Started with the Pretty Hate Machine, then by the time I got the Downward Spiral on cassette tape, it lived in my car for a year or two (never removed from the cassette player), and every time I'd hear something new. Got to see them live in the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's and excellent every single time!
All of Trent Reznor's music sounds like different really beautiful parts of Southern California. Yeah because what he should really be doing is a bunch of New Age Instrumentals of Southern California Soundscapes Music with all of his talent there! But not to be drab there! All of his music does sound magnificently Beautiful Though! So then 2 thumbs up for the music of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails though! And thank you for it!
if anyone here hasn't heard the remix version of this song on the album Things Falling Apart, make yourself a favor, and please go check it out. have a seat before listening, because you are going to be surprised.
The profundity of life is often simplified by our trivialities. Isn't it beautiful how timeless insights can be gained through brief, forgettable experiences?
I'm .... picking up a visual of Reznor looking up at a Leviathan that's 1000 feet tall, screaming singing and accepting defeat via a critical mass explosion... Anyone else?? Hahah
esa sensación es mi incertidumbre que ve lo perverso y lo malo, que ve la naturaleza del hombre siempre siendo parecida a la de los animales violentos y hambrientos de sexualidad, como combatir a los que justifican esclavitud y predican con una sola mano en el vacío de alguien.
Trent Reznor is a musical Genius
I know
No lmao
This man has the gift of putting to words and music the thoughts of suicide, fear, and anxiety
its birth, acceptance, reality of fate in unity
you are gay
once you've walked through that place, you are familiar with the terrain

Your thumbnail is both hilarious and terrifying at the same time.

God I remember those giant LED screens making my eyes bleed live. Mmmm THE WRETCHED!
fgufk cyaeh. saw them 4 times wtf D:
such a beautiful song to listen to on a nice spring day :)
Beautiful on a fresh summer morn
I think this songs sums up what life is like. And it doesn't sugercoat anything. It's my favorite from this album
Yes definitely one of my favorites of all time!
Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have
Could have beens
Another day
Some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us
The wretched
The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways
Forget it
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And god himself will reach his fucking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking
Spinning
And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You're finally free
And you could be
But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but
ALIENDNA14 thank you
And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You're finally free
And you could be...
happy?

Same about picking it up when in high school. 99 was something else. A great great record!
Fuck. This is beyond amazing. Those small bits of scream adds up to the song even the pitches right around the middle of the song.

That piano is so evil sounding it gives me goosebumps even after all these years
Two weeks after my mother’s passing, this is quite appropriate to the status quo
Thank you for uploading 🙏🏼

The perfect band, NIN. You know the sound of Trent, but every NIN song sounds so different and has its own unique sound.
Started with the Pretty Hate Machine, then by the time I got the Downward Spiral on cassette tape, it lived in my car for a year or two (never removed from the cassette player), and every time I'd hear something new. Got to see them live in the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's and excellent every single time!
Thank you for posting the whole album, left and right sides ❤
My favorite song from this album. Not to mention this song has awesome beats ! 👏🤘
Def. Might be time for a rap remix of it. 😁
Gives me chills EVERYTIME
Mierda, la transición entre The Frail y The Wretched ejemplifica lo perfecto y el sentimiento de todo el álbum. Lo amo.
This is what it feels like when NIN kicks your ass on a chorus.
Sinking....spinning
If you've been there, welcome to the abyss of which there is no return.
Calming.

imagine NIN being british... 22.8 CM Nails.

It would be called Ten Meter Tents
This is the best, final point.
This album makes me want to take up piano.
Brutal!!!!!! qué bello es esto! super rompedor!
My all time favorite NiN jam! Yass!!!!!!
Charles is with you Trent.
Forever. I shall be.

3:45 gets me every damn time that's hawt shit
3:45 is likely the highest peak nin ever reached
I betcha the inspiration for this song occurred when Trent was just a young boy who dropped his ice cream cone.
This is even funnier than a Tool, song inspiration joke.
lol

Anyone else?? Hahah
Así es , tal cual
All the power...
And
All the love in the World...
The whole album sounds like Bowie from 1976 ( Low )want into the future and read the Hellbound heart or perhaps saw the film
NOOWWW YOU KNOW
Try it at 1.25 speed. I love the doom laden feel of original speed but I think this speed adds something too
Honestly, I agree that it works even if it's not the same song !
We are not the wretched,we are forever,....difinitived...time i go to the 🌍 bank for mine...
