trent reznor ;; nine inch nails

trent reznor

he's the lead singer of Nine Inch Nails and someone who I believe single handedly changed rock music forever. He has been around for the past 25 years and in those decades.. hes come out with numerous #1 songs that have put his personal thoughts out there for everyone to see. && it is quite obvious that his defiance not only made him a millionaire but it also made him an icon. He isn’t afraid to break the rules and let people see him for who he is. ... if that isn't inspiration, i don't know what is! 

i havent always been a NIN fan, the only song i really liked was "Closer." It wasn't until these past few years that I truly started getting into their music... i was friends with a girl who was obsessed with them who has since moved away, but we still keep in touch and of course our main topic is Nine Inch Nails news... did i mention how upset i was to have missed their show in 2009..ugh, i'll never forgive myself.. lol

as stated above, the first song I ever heard was “Closer” and I was immediately in love by the boldness of the lyrics. I knew what he was getting at and I really liked it. Trent’s words go into motion and it just truly feels amazing.

You let me violate you. You let me desecrate you. You let me penetrate you.
And yes Trent, you can complicate me any day. LOL

Not only did “Closer” tap into the hidden sex kitten inside of me, but other songs really spoke to me as well. The following are some of my favorite lyrics from my favorite NIN songs.

 

 

" I hurt myself today .. To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain.. The only thing that's real."

You can have my isolation.

You can have the hate that it brings.

You can have my absence of faith.

You can have my everything.”

“Devils speak of the ways in which she’ll manifest.

Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress.

Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness.

I now know the depths I reach are limitless.”

“so impressed with all you do

tried so hard to be like you

flew too high and burnt the wing

lost my faith in everything

lick around divine debris

taste the wealth of hate in me

shedding skin succumb defeat

this machine is obsolete

made the choice to go away

drink the fountain of decay

tear a hole exquisite red

fuck the rest and stab it dead

broken bruised forgotten sore

too fucked up to care anymore

poisoned to my rotten core

too fucked up to care anymore”

“In my nothing, you meant everything to me.”

“My moral standing is lying down”.

 

Are you a NIN fan?
Can any of you tell me what song each of those quotes are from? :)
