lyrics

1,000,000

kind of hard
hard to see
when you crawl
on your hands and your knees
with your face
in the trough
wait your turn
while they finish you off
don’t know when it started
don’t know how
should have found out
should have happened by now
got these lines
on my face
after all this time
and i still haven’t found my place
$
i jump from every rooftop
so high so far to fall
i feel a million miles away$
i don’t feel any thing at all

i wake up
on the floor
start it up again
like it matters anymore
i don’t know
if it does
is this really all
that there ever was?
put the gun$
in my mouth
close your eyes
blow my fucking brains out
pretty patterns
on the floor
that’s enough for you
but i still need more

i jump from every rooftop
so high so far to fall
i feel a million miles away
i don’t feel any thing at all

LETTING YOU

the sky is painted black
the smoke pours out the stack
one hand upon your heart
one hand behind your back
you train us how to act
you keep the fear intact
the imminent attack
everything is right on track

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

upon our plates to feed
the dying left to bleed$
how much we really need
your politics of greed
the cancer takes ahold
the wolf is in the fold
our destiny’s been sold
we do just what we’re told

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

your armies filled with hate
believing your charade
begin to suffocate
for us it’s far too late

and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it

DISCIPLINE$$$

am i still tough enough?
feels like i’m wearing down
is my visciousness
losing ground?
am i taking too much?
did i cross a line?
i need my role in this
very clearly defined

i need your discipline
i need your help
i need your discipline
you know once i start i cannot help myself

and now it's starting up $
feels like i'm losing touch
nothing matters to me
nothing matters as much
i see you left a mark$
up and down my skin
i don't know where I end
and where you begin

i need your discipline
i need your help
i need your discipline
you know once i start i cannot help myself

once i start i cannot stop myself

ECHOPLEX

nice and high and far apart
just like they said
i built this place with broken parts
just like they said
you chip away the old version of you
you'd be surprised at what you can do
i'm safe in here$$
irrelevant $
just like they said

my voice just echoes off these walls

you feel me breathe$
i am watching you
i see it all
the many ways you can't get to me
i see it all
i see the hell you put yourself through
oh the things i could do (if i wanted to)

my voice just echoes off these walls
my voice just echoes off these walls
i don't need anything at all
my voice just echoes off these walls$

and i just slowly fade away

you will never ever get to me in here

HEAD DOWN
$
you
what you looking at?
head down
too late for that
what you want
what you get
know your place
don't ever forget
$$
and this is not my face
and this is not my life$
and there is not a single thing here
i can recognize
this is all a dream
and none of you are real
i'll give anything
i'll give anything$

hey you
what you running from?
all your hate
what you've become
bet you didn't think
it would happen to you
all used up
half way through

and this is not my face
and this is not my life$
and there is not a single thing here
i can recognize
this is all a dream
and none of you are real
i'll give anything
i'll give anything$

LIGHTS IN THE SKY
$
she's mostly gone
some other place
i'm getting by$
in other ways
everything they whispered in our ear
is coming true
try to justify the things
i used to do
believe in you$

watching you drown
i'll follow you down
and i am here right beside you
the lights in the sky
have finally arrived
i am staying right beside you

i tried to stay away
you know$$
just in case
i've come to realize
we all have our place
time has a way you know$
to make it clear
i have my role in this
i can't disappear
or leave you here

watching you drown
i'll follow you down
and i am here right beside you
the lights in the sky
are waving goodbye
i am staying right beside you

DEMON SEED

1
it keeps growing$
and i can feel it breathe$
i have been trying$
to behave myself
it keeps growing$
and i can feel it breathe$
i have been trying$
to tolerate you

2
well i am reaching the point
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah$yeah yeah

3
i thought maybe
i thought this would go away
but it continues
the only constant
every day
stronger

4
i will use my voice$
and i will use my fist$
to destroy$
everything i can

5
now i know$
what this is all about
now i know$
exactly what i am

6
these is a seed$
inside of me
that makes me
 
good god, the intro and transition of 999,999 into 1,000,000 is AMAZING

//edit: and yes, I will still buy this in July
 
[quote name='BustaUppa']The cover art for Track 3 is an A.I.R. flag?!?![/QUOTE]

Yeah, except the star is covered up from blood.

[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']Damn, how are you already done with the cd?[/QUOTE]

The Four Of Us Are Dying is almost over on my side.

I skipped Discipline and Echoplex though :whistle2:# I need the new stuff first and than I'll listen to it in order.
 
[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']Damn, how are you already done with the cd?[/quote]

I doubt many people are listening to it in order.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']The Four Of Us Are Dying is almost over on my side.

I skipped Discipline and Echoplex though :whistle2:# I need the new stuff first and than I'll listen to it in order.[/quote]I'm listening to them because I want to see the flow of the album. So far, Discipline and Echoplex abruptly halt the awesomeness of the beginning songs.

I just got to Head Down and already this cd feels a lot more "industrial" than I would have imagined (good thing).
 
What the fuck is that on Demon Seed?

If you thought the LA LA LA LA LA LA on Echoplex were bad, the 60s sounding YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH on Demon Seed will blow your mind.
 
[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']If Something I Can Never Have and Hurt had a kid, they would name it Lights In the Sky.[/quote]

and it would be my best friend through life.

I thought the 999,999/1,000,000 transition was awesome.. it holds nothing on LitS/Corona Radiata.
 
It definitely feels like tracks are missing, I think they will be added for the retail release. Corona Radiata sounded like it was going to lead up into something amazing, but then.. nothing. Just completely stopped.

Sounds like there should be something at the end of TFoUaD as well.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']Last time I heard, it's coming some time in late May with 7 bonus tracks.[/quote]

Thanks for the news! Great to know!
 
[quote name='Scorch']It definitely feels like tracks are missing, I think they will be added for the retail release.[/quote]I agree. This feels like more of a let's get this stuff out to the general public kind of release. Hopefully the final product is more solid vs. the up&down/rollercoaster feel of this order of the songs.
 
I just was able to get on the internet and this is dropped in my lap, how awesome. Though I put in my email address 10 minutes ago and still no download link! I must have this NOW!
 
[quote name='redgopher']God damn, it's so good.... I wish he had a donate link set up so I could give him money for beer or something.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure Trent's a recovering alcoholic/drug addict.

Thanks for the news! Great to know!
 
Anyway, I've finally read the thread proper, and I'm so happy for Trent and NIN. This is awesome news! Phenomenal news! Does anyone have the DL links to get the album?
 
Nevermind, found where to DL it. I can't wait till July. I'm going to buy it on CD and throw him a few bones to help support him. I bought Ghosts on CD as well. There isn't another music group/artist like him and he deserves all our support for what he's doing and what he stands for.
 
[quote name='javeryh']Which version to get? I primarily use iTunes and my iPod to listen to crap - should I get the mp3 or m4a?[/QUOTE]Actually I think it lets you download as many versions as you want. Don't quote me on that, but I remember it saying something to that effect when I got to the download page...

I'm quoting you on this because it's correct. :)
 
Man, Trent is the man. It took me 5 minutes total to download this from Trent's site. (Getting the M4A version now as well.)

I think Trent really understands and appreciates his fans. He's like, "You want my music? Here. Take it. But if you want the full NIN experience, here's a bunch of really cool shit you can get, and the money will go straight to me, fuck the record companies." HE, IS, THE, MAN!


OH yeah one more thing, a question, perhaps a stupid one. Does Trent have a forum or any way to contact him? A public e-mail address? I wanted to thank him for the new album and beg him to support multi-channel formats some more.
