    Lyrics:
    I know that you've been damaged
    Your soul has suffered such abuse
    But I am not your savior
    I am just as fucked as you
    I am just as fucked as you
    I can not save you
    I can't even save myself
    So just save yourself

      It's not often I experience nostalgia, it's actually very rare for me. But the other day I was saying to my wife how much I miss the music of the era. It was all so different, bands tried new things, labels erected that were about this type of music and not so much about putting their music on every radio station on the planet. It was an era when it was OK if you liked a niche thing and your passions would pull other people in. Ugh, I sound pathetic right now.

      @@kim1570 It's possible that I'm just old and remembering how things felt at the time. With Stabbing Westward, Gravity Kills, 16 Volt, KMFDM, Ministry, Thrill Kill Kult etc. all putting stuff out I distinctly recall hearing people say "why would I listen to these knock-offs, Trent is so much better" Or conversely, "I hate NIN, why would I waste my time with NIN-lite?" In other instances the output of the smaller bands just didn't stay consistent in quality or develop, so people who *did* like them got bored or grew to dislike the newer stuff (the 4th SW album, while I appreciated the effort, was WILDLY divergent). Over the years NIN has come out as one of the few survivors and most of those other bands are defunct so I dunno...maybe there was a nugget of truth in the criticisms one way or the other

      You are 100% right. It's something I'd never heard before, musically. When the second guitar comes in... oh man. A perfect bridge with something new is a rare treasure. They clearly had a classical influence in that part, because you only heard similar things in the great composers who were experimenting with sounds and progressions.

This is my go to song whenever I'm feeling like I can't help or save anyone. I'm also a covert narcissist, a result of my childhood and past trauma. I can change, and I will. I used to feel exactly like this, and I still do. It sucks, but life is about sucking harder than a vacuum. How else are you going to learn? ❤ rock on fellow dudes.

      Realizing; that is, MENTALITY is 90% of it…of ALL addictions. The other 10% is the physical & while it’s awful detoxing, 10% pain now is worth not having a lifetime. Problem for me isn’t the physical; it’s the psychological damages that have been inflicted, & have left me with scars that in my 50s I’m still struggling with. And this was & still is one of my go to songs as well. From the time I first heard it over 15 years ago, to 10 min ago in the car, trying to remind myself that I’m enough.

How much they are deceived. For I intend to remain a child always." Much later, on his deathbed, he got news that a great tower being constructed on his estate had collapsed, and remarked (perhaps his last words), "Ah, if only I had been there to see it fall!"

      @@Lucradym KMFDM is Industrial/industrial-metal/electro-industrial. NIN is Industrial rock (i.e the best kind of industrial) through and through, Fixed was definitely not the last industrial-rock album of NIN, I mean the freakind _downward Spiral_ came out afterward ffs. And in any case, Fixed wasn't really an album, it was a remix EP of Broken.
      Also, I wouldn't compare KMFDM to NIN, if anyone can compare to them is 80s-early 90s Skinny Puppy, and even then it's kinda like comparing King Crimson to Pink Floyd because they're both Prog-rock. Pink Floyd were one of a kind, just like NIN. as for KMFDM, comparing them to NIN is like comparing Dream Theater to Pink Floyd.

    I saw these guys open for Kiss, in Portland, Oregon in 1995. Not many people in the crowd paid them any kind of attention when they played. But they absolutely killed it! I've been a fan ever since then.
