I did the same thing to my friend but "a perfect circle" song. Whenever it'd play- I'd look him dead in the eyes and mouth the words "You fucking dissapoint me, maybe your better off this way" and look away in disgust.
I love how I heard someone said once "this shit (NIN) is for edgy, angry teenagers". Nothing could be farther from the truth. The older I get, the more I like their songs, and can relate to them the most

A great "feel better" song about the reality that we are disappointed by our expectations of others but that we never really know a person and set high expectations and only hurt ourselves by doing that. Its a great healing song.

This was one of my best friends favorite songs when he was down. He took his own life last year. Still can't listen to it without a knife in my heart. You will be sorely missed brother.
Chad Garrett My mom passed away a few years ago, and adored NIN I can’t tell you how many time I listen to this song so I can remember her voice singing along to this...
I'm sorry guys. I had a similar experience but it was a guy i used to date. He passed because of a cáncer and he loved nin.i still remember him everytime i listen to them and hurts. Hope all of them are ok now
Genius composition. Conversational like Lou Reed and you don't even realize you're completely hooked until the motif at 2:50. Been listening to this album for over 15 years and still love it.
Ending it is not the answer, changing what is currently wrong in your life is!... There are many places that will help you and will want to help you. Take a deep breath and just google a few help centres as a first step! x Much love x
Man I still come back and listen to this one of this album, few songs really capture the ideals of depersonalization and derealization. This one nails it. It's hard to even fit this in a genre its like bleak techno futurist pop rock. Incredible
I think what makes this song so powerful is how it takes all the power you give someone you loved and turns it all around putting it back in your hands.
MakeYourOwnDamnMusic I like to look at this song from an existential perspective and it really makes you think about who you are. Not a lot of media has this profound of a message
Well, your definition of "cutting edge" is purely circumstantial and bound by the qualities you would consider "cutting edge" at that time. As time moves on, that definition should change. Anyway, give this a listen. ua-cam.com/video/vou6F9Q2u6Q/v-deo.html
originality versus mixing... sure it's "original" content in it's own right but it couldn't be made without the real originality that came before it... there's cutting edge and then there's the dull razor...
My little brother and I’s favorite song. He took his life in 2016 at the end of the year, but this song helps me to continue on his legacy; he was nowhere near done being a f#ckin’ legend 💪🏼🤘🏼
I'm sorry for your loss. You are an amazing sibling for keeping his legacy because and this sounds cliche but at the end of the day his memory lives on and you get to feel and remember all those beautiful moments in his life. I wish you and your family the best 😊

The dot is his past addiction The scab he pulls off was from the self inflicted wound of that past addiction (edit: the wound was healing, thus he was overcoming the addiction slowly) Opening the wound again, the doorway he climbs through leads to relapse
Sadly, too many of the people watching the video may have stalled out at the steel balls, no cell phone, why is the laptop so thick and did it hurt his skin to do the "Little nails thingie"...
I can still remember, in 1989, sitting in a car in a mall parking lot after i bought pretty hate machine on a cassette.....i was blown away by it....so different, so interesting...amazing... all these years later Trent's doing it to me again....
My sisters idiot boyfriend had one redeeming quality. It was 1990 and I was 10 and I grabbed his Walkman and started listening to pretty hate machine. Thanks to that dude I was introduced to a world of superb music. Guy was still a jackass though.
I really appreciate the programming genius of whoever wrote that pin impression toy simulation, & then translated that into footage of Trent singing. Bravo.

This song and into the the void by Trent reznor have always been my most favourite songs of all time , no matter what time , what mood or whatever , when they play I lose my shit. Thanks to this legend , his words are a slow burning fire. Keep me warm when things get cold and dark.
This song (and many others) is helping me get over my narcissist ex gf. Sometimes I think it’s true. “I just made you up to hurt myself”, “there is no you, there is only me”.

I think the power of this song is not what society thinks "Power" really is but instead the early adolecent childhood trauma where one thinks the whole reason for all of our problems is us.....and the reality is that we are not at fault....we were just kids trying ti figure out how to survive in a world where our parental figures had their own issues that they could not help us.

I cannot actually fathom hearing such music on the radio. It's kind of hilarious to be honest that mainstream radios did include some alternative songs. These days you get a lot of hogwash and some cool tunes actually at times but it feels pretty shallow most of the time.

As a recovering empath, I have been literally playing this every morning as my mantra to stop giving to much, people just take, take take. Guess what though? There is no YOU there is only ME
+Andrew Vandersnick yes it was a pretty big rock radio hit along with hand that feeds and to a lesser extent every day is exactly the same, all had some degree of radio success. with teeth was kind of the last industrial rock version of nin, after this trent went pretty much totally electronica with a lot less guitars or so it seems anyways....
+Josiah Knoedler The best revelation I had concerning this song was when I considered it in the context of... how can you say, "western ignorance". Think of anything that falls under this... consumerism is the best descriptor I think. "I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah, And I just made you up to hurt myself. And it worked. Yes it did!" - makes me think of someone who is aware of crises abroad, beyond the first world borders (the countless genocides, human rights abuses, tyranny, etc.) and the person has 'made up' a reality to try to fit in with the rest of the society and knowing it would cause pain as ignoring is not something this person can naturally do. After the chorus he talks about a scab... I see this as finding something, lets say for example a leaked video of something that captures his interest away from their bubble life, knowing full well it could destroy the bubble. "Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be, and I can see things I know I really shouldn't see. And now I know why, now, now, now I know why. Things aren't as pretty, On the inside" - finding all this stuff destroys that bubble, person has found information that the media and/or government does not want them to see, and it has completely tainted their view... Nobody else listens, nobody else cares, everyone is busy living in the bubbles they've created and they are the only one outside of it... thus, "only". "There is no you, there is only me" - many meanings, including for other people in bubbles not caring, first world is the "only" world, the people suffering from tragedies are not real (defending the bubble at all costs). Just my take it on. Trent Reznor is a champion. :)
+Kyle Lacroix People think he's talking about a woman and maybe in some lines he is but I think overall he's talking about exactly what you describe here; we only make up our beliefs and cling to them so heavily just to hurt each other.

My therapist told me today that I need to live life for myself. And I feel like this is the most appropriate song for that teaching. "Less concerned about fitting into the world... cause it doesn't really matter"
"Your world, that is." Screw their world. Live for your own, ;).
Living for yourself tends to be a fruitless and empty endeavor.
The same here :) @ChristopherJohnson it"s not about having no relationship or not helping others, it's about remembering, that there is nobody's more important than you. It means being asertive instead of passive-agressive.

"Down in it" reference at 2:50...I see what Trent did there...❤
The Lou Reed comparison is way more appropriate than I even realized until I thought about it. Bowie was deeply inspired by both, and I can see why.
This band is getting me through such a hard time. I'm on the verge of ending it all and crying all the time I only find solace in music these days

Never
Dirty? This is the cleanest NIN video I've ever seen.
Ah they meant the lyrics. Or are you just being silly?
I know what they mean.
That's why I added to my comment or are you just being silly just to check.
I said this on another comment asking a similar question...buttfuck it - He didn't clean his keyboard.
every day is exactly the same is pretty clean havent seen the video though
I think what makes this song so powerful is how it takes all the power you give someone you loved and turns it all around putting it back in your hands.
YES!!!!!

But I climbed through
Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be
And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see
And now I know why, now, now, now I know why
Things aren't as pretty

Nine inch nails somehow got me through depression
One enters the world alone, then exits alone. Pain is felt by one, as is joy.
Thank you Trent
The quintessential introvert theme song...

@@chaddoom7993 Haha, just came back to this video and realised your name's 'Chad", how ironic is that?
Shut up woman, this is my jam, there is no you there is only me
Less concerned about fitting into the world...Your world that is...Cause it doesn't really matter anymore.
Irony....
"I just made you up to hurt myself."
RIP Mr Self Destruct (1994-2005)
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!
Perfect song for me when it came out in 2005 and my marriage was done. It struck every chord. Truly.
Right?. I am stuck in this 18 yr one.. doing fckn time 😮😮😢🎉🎉🎉
Are we ignoring the fact that the tiny dot from "Down In It" is still victimizing him
melancholy - nope we get it
The dot is his past addiction
The scab he pulls off was from the self inflicted wound of that past addiction (edit: the wound was healing, thus he was overcoming the addiction slowly)
Opening the wound again, the doorway he climbs through leads to relapse
All his songs/albums are a Chronicle of his life/experience
Sadly, too many of the people watching the video may have stalled out at the steel balls, no cell phone, why is the laptop so thick and did it hurt his skin to do the "Little nails thingie"...
Didn't slip past me. I love the reference
The bass line in this song is actually pretty phat
Phat? What is this? The year 2000? LoL, jk dude...I love ya!
I wonder if Trent wrote the bass lineor if perhaps Twiggy was involved.
Either way, excellent song!
Propper dance groove
It slapsssss
Ye
That bass line is sick
Saw NIN in Houston May 22, 2000 when APC opened. Both were incredible. Those were the good ole days.
This song helped me through an ugly divorce. Trent is pure genius. I used to listen to it every day on my way to work. Musical valium!
Lisa Amos Me too.
I can still remember, in 1989, sitting in a car in a mall parking lot after i bought pretty hate machine on a cassette.....i was blown away by it....so different, so interesting...amazing... all these years later Trent's doing it to me again....
My sisters idiot boyfriend had one redeeming quality. It was 1990 and I was 10 and I grabbed his Walkman and started listening to pretty hate machine. Thanks to that dude I was introduced to a world of superb music. Guy was still a jackass though.
What? You didn't enjoy "Ice Ice Baby"
Lol pretty hate machine is a masterpiece but only isn't in the album.
Fucking love this comment. 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼
1989?!
I played this on repeat in the summer of 2005. It’s just as good in 2023.
I love Trent’s independent creative instincts and I’m beginning to appreciate his comedic sense of humor. Really good art.
I really appreciate the programming genius of whoever wrote that pin impression toy simulation, & then translated that into footage of Trent singing. Bravo.
For real dude.
The Director of Se7en and Fight Club, David Fincher, directed this Music Video.
Unfortunately I was very distracted throughout the video contemplating how that was simulated. It's a little too perfect to look real.
Lyrics 😎🎶
I'm becoming less defined
As days go by
Fading away
Well you might say
I'm losing focus
Kinda drifting into the abstract
In terms of how I see myself
Sometimes
I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes
I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes
I can see right through myself
Less concerned
About fitting into the world
Your world, that is
'cause it doesn't really matter
no it doesn't really matter
no it doesn't really matter any more
none of this sh* really matters anymore
Yes I am alone
then again I always was
far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because
because you were never really real
to begin with
I just made you up
To hurt myself
I just made you up
To hurt myself
I just made you up
To hurt myself
I just made you up
To hurt myself
I just made you up
To hurt myself
And it worked
Yes it did
There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
Only only only
Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone
I cut off that scab
It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through
Now I'm somewhere
I am not supposed to be
And I can see things I know
I really shouldn't see
And now I know why
Now I know why
Things aren't as pretty
On the inside
There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
Only only only only only only
Thank you for the lyrics, their interesting, but I expected them to be. \ m /

There is no piece of music that has helped me overcome my addicted brain than this masterpiece.
This song and into the the void by Trent reznor have always been my most favourite songs of all time , no matter what time , what mood or whatever , when they play I lose my shit. Thanks to this legend , his words are a slow burning fire. Keep me warm when things get cold and dark.
The dirtiest thing of this song is that guitar and bassline!!
my alltime fav song! guitar, bassline, dronesound, dry-computer-drums, piano, 80s synth. minimalism a it's finest! love of my life, NIN Sound!
Trent been in self isolation forever
I don’t blame him.
I can't believe your comment does not have more thumbs up. So true...
This must be the place.
Yeah, must suck being confined to pin art
we all have... really
This song (and many others) is helping me get over my narcissist ex gf. Sometimes I think it’s true. “I just made you up to hurt myself”, “there is no you, there is only me”.
Well since the song is about jacking off and you no longer have a girlfriend I guess that's fitting.
Seriously tho this song is about jacking it bro.
This song is like a session of therapy

Video is timeless, The way he brings in the different sounds and his voice still brings chills to the back of my neck. Nostalgia and motivation on overdrive
Timeless except for that old-ass MacBook.

This is the song that made me realize "Damn, Nine Inch Nails may very well be my favorite band."
I know, I think me too, though Somewhat Damaged caught my ears before this, and this pretty much was the nail in the coffin :D
My thoughts after playing this for a minute
Been my favorite just about forever.
It was this song and Terrible Lie for me.
me also. it was 2004 in the night and saw this on tv
Less concerned about fitting in to the world……..your world that is🎉

I think the power of this song is not what society thinks "Power" really is but instead the early adolecent childhood trauma where one thinks the whole reason for all of our problems is us.....and the reality is that we are not at fault....we were just kids trying ti figure out how to survive in a world where our parental figures had their own issues that they could not help us.
Key words:"And it worked"
Yes it did!

"Less concerned with fitting into the world... YOUR world, that is"
A maniacal masterpiece of caco-demoniacal sinusoidal brilliance! Thank you, NIN
when he talks about the scab on his face I never related more. The way he says

The music video for "Only", directed by David Fincher and relying almost entirely on CGI created by Digital Domain ....When Fincher uses CGI , it can't be seen.
Yeah he loves CGI: since Zodiac, all the blood in all his films are in CGI, he even copy the face of one of the twins in the social network to the other one because the actors weren't real twins: ua-cam.com/video/Oitr_eYcJk0/v-deo.html
@@pabloop9891 There was a fair bit of CGI in Fight Club but it was used sparingly.
Wow just watched The Game last night for the first time
Unless it's CGI breath. (Cough The Social Network, cough)
so that's how they did John Cena

Ésta canción se "auto" reprodujo después de otra que había buscado, y intenté sacar tres veces y no pude... Es una obra de arte. Gracias Nine Inch Nails.
amazing how well the visuals hold up after 15 years
"Yes, I am alone... then again, I always was! As far back as I could tell! I think maybe it's because you were never really real to begin with...
I just made you up to hurt myself."
Those lyrics!
Every real man in this world knows how this feels all too well.
The best song ever
everybody talking about the song and im out here how simple the video yet the effects are freaking awesome.
still holds up with stuff from today.
This becomes more relevant the older I get.
and yet that laptop looks more and more dated.
raven white same.when you're 20,you think this is about a failed relationship.when you're past 40 it takes on a whole other meaning.
Raven we see eye to eye on this...no PUN intended...hehe Raven spelled backwards =Nevar...Eye spelled backwards is ____yup! Furthermore, final steered thought...why the most loathed word in modern English Dictionary "Scab" (fucking word just makes me itch YUK! Yeah thoughts are fineto for me right now I'm gonna upchuck at the thought off spelling forwards and backwards. Split Twisted GD brain o' mine...*spews in Garth's from Wayne's World's lil pocket Dixie cup*

so you're getting more narcissistic as you age lmao
After all these years this song is still amazing

Self discovery right there
I think NIN is pretty much underrated. He is just ahead of his time and not everybody can see this. His time will come...
When, another 35 years... Lol, people don't like to be real.
This whole album is a masterpice, it helped me get through the depression, thanks Trent
in the last era where mtv played good music
lol wuut
Correction: Where MTV *DID* play music.
wait, what?, youre telling me MTV still plays Music?
I cannot actually fathom hearing such music on the radio. It's kind of hilarious to be honest that mainstream radios did include some alternative songs. These days you get a lot of hogwash and some cool tunes actually at times but it feels pretty shallow most of the time.
I can't take credit.. but "remember when the "M" stood for music " ? trololo
That finger slide. Amazing I'm 40 in '23.. still amazing riff
genius video for a genius song
"less concerned about fitting in to the world..your world that is"
Yup✌
Suitable song for broken hearts and injured souls.
always a doorway trying to seal itself shut.....but i climbed through....
I like this song, it's so chaotic, feels like a weird conversation
just found out this mans went to my high school and my uncle graduated with him 🚶♀️

This is one of my fav songs
Trent Reznor is a fucking musical genius.. I'll always love his material..
This song gets better with each passing decade. I couldn't have survived high school without it.
Unbelievable music
Never forget seeing NIN in concert....amazing.
I hope my neighbours like this song too... cuz they kinda don't have the choice.
Dude you’re so edgy
Kinda explains it in the song. Aah ha
They only have cops. Hopefully they didn't disagree.
@@777Lateralus you forgot the ?
I wish you was my neighbour
Trent Reznor is a fkn genius! One of the best ever!
Bro fist
Absolutely
This is just like....our opinion, Man
He's not a "genius". That's an overused and worn out cliche. Do us all a favor and stop using it.
Ahead of its time, and still ageless.
One of my favorites
I am personally about 500 of these views. I love this song. After 3 years,
It's about 1000 now.
Same. Love this.

Absolutely brilliant existential lyrics with a killer bass rythym. Fucking great.
Man i love this song
As a recovering empath, I have been literally playing this every morning as my mantra to stop giving to much, people just take, take take. Guess what though? There is no YOU there is only ME
lol sounds like you were codependent not empathetic, genuine empathy doesn't require you to be a doormat
This song has so much fucking meaning, I just made you up to hurt myself. Nothing on the radio today can be compared to this.
+Josiah Knoedler did it ever make it to mainstream radio?
+Andrew Vandersnick yes it was a pretty big rock radio hit along with hand that feeds and to a lesser extent every day is exactly the same, all had some degree of radio success. with teeth was kind of the last industrial rock version of nin, after this trent went pretty much totally electronica with a lot less guitars or so it seems anyways....
+Josiah Knoedler The best revelation I had concerning this song was when I considered it in the context of... how can you say, "western ignorance". Think of anything that falls under this... consumerism is the best descriptor I think. "I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah, And I just made you up to hurt myself. And it worked. Yes it did!" - makes me think of someone who is aware of crises abroad, beyond the first world borders (the countless genocides, human rights abuses, tyranny, etc.) and the person has 'made up' a reality to try to fit in with the rest of the society and knowing it would cause pain as ignoring is not something this person can naturally do.
After the chorus he talks about a scab... I see this as finding something, lets say for example a leaked video of something that captures his interest away from their bubble life, knowing full well it could destroy the bubble. "Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be, and I can see things I know I really shouldn't see. And now I know why, now, now, now I know why. Things aren't as pretty, On the inside" - finding all this stuff destroys that bubble, person has found information that the media and/or government does not want them to see, and it has completely tainted their view...
Nobody else listens, nobody else cares, everyone is busy living in the bubbles they've created and they are the only one outside of it... thus, "only". "There is no you, there is only me" - many meanings, including for other people in bubbles not caring, first world is the "only" world, the people suffering from tragedies are not real (defending the bubble at all costs).
Just my take it on. Trent Reznor is a champion. :)
+Josiah Knoedler i dont know man all about that bass is some pretty deep shit
+Kyle Lacroix People think he's talking about a woman and maybe in some lines he is but I think overall he's talking about exactly what you describe here; we only make up our beliefs and cling to them so heavily just to hurt each other.
That ripple effect is made out of nine inch nails.
BOOM.

I don't think they're nine inches
