I used to not like this song, however, in the past months as I have lived and learned more things, It has grown on me. I can relate to it pretty well now. Plus I finally have seen the video for it which puts things in prespective. The victorian setting is very approperiate.
I particularly like how the drum solo and the absinthe trip coincide. The green tint to the screen is very effective. Also around the 2 minute mark, right before the solo, trent is just going absolutely ballistic.
The other people there are so much more calm than he is and I feel that adds a sense of madness to trent insofar that he needs "servants" to help care for him in his depression. (in the context of the video and the victorian setting of coarse.)
I love it.

I like it, even though I've never been into NIN a lot. But that song is good.

I've always enjoyed the video, but it took a little while for that song to grow on me. I think it was the whole drum & bass aspect, but I appreciate that music now and really like how he merged it into his own. I did always like that slow part though.
Nice insight, by the way.

If you knew much about NIN you would know Trent was forced into doing that video, he didnt even write it, or want to do it.

A Warm Place Happyness In Slavery I like that real mechanical song on Downward Spiral (don't remember the name) I like pretty much everything off of the Fragile.

No, not Reptile. It's all like Whuuuuuuump Dooh, Dooh Dooh Dooh Dooh, Dooh Dooh Dooh Dooh........ Dooh, Dooh Dooh Dooh Dooh, Dooh Dooh Dooh. I (something) machine, it's a part of me, it's inside of me. I am becoming.......The me that you know, he had some second thoughts. He's covered in scabs, he is broken and sore....

My favorite song on the downward spiral is definately Ruiner. The guitar solo in that song just kicks so much fuckin ass.
I also like ring finger a lot, it was a very cool song. Many others, been listening to NIN since I was a wee lad
