Nine Inch Nails - Self Destruction

Copied!

{verse 1}
I am the voice inside your head (and i control you)
I am the lover in your bed (and i control you)
I am the sex that you provide (and i control you)
I am the hate you try to hide (and i control you)

{chorus}
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct

{verse 2}
I speak religion's message clear (and i control you)
I am denial, guilt and fear (and i control you)
I am the prayers of the naïve (and i control you)
I am the lie that you believe (and i control you)

{chorus}
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct

{interlude}
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)

{bridge}
I am the needle in the vein
I am the high you can't sustain
I am the pusher, i'm a whore
I am the need in you for more

{verse 3}
I am the bullet in the gun (and i control you)
I am the truth from which you run (and i control you)
I am the silencing machine (and i control you)
I am the end of all your dreams (and i control you)

{chorus}
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Self Destruction" by Nine Inch Nails is a powerful and intense song that delves into the concept of self-destructive behavior. The lyrics depict a dark and haunting narrative of the inner voices and forces that control and manipulate the protagonist. The chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of self-destructive patterns, with the repeated phrase "Mr. self destruct" driving home the theme of inner turmoil and self-sabotage. The bridge paints a vivid picture of addiction and dependency, with references to drugs and destructive behaviors. Overall, "Self Destruction" is a raw and visceral exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche, set against a backdrop of industrial rock soundscapes that Nine Inch Nails is known for.

Biography

edit bio

Nine Inch Nails is an industrial rock project led by multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor, the only constant member for many years until Atticus Ross officially joined in 2016, often selecting a cast of different band members for live performances. It is known for producing several highly influential records during the 1990s encompassing a wide array of genres, including industrial and electronic rock. After eight studio releases, the project was put on hiatus by Reznor to focus on other projects in 2009 before returning with announced tour dates stretching across the United States and foreign countries on March 11, 2013.

Nine Inch Nails has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning twice for “Wish” and “Happiness In Slavery.” Leading member Trent Reznor was also featured in Time magazine’s list of the year’s most influential people, and Spin magazine has described him as “the most vital artist in music.”

The band has released nine studio albums since their debut in 1989, alongside four original EP’s and were one of the first artists to have an independently released record go platinum. They’ve had two U.S. #1 albums with The Fragile and With Teeth and four other top 5 charting releases.

Each official Nine Inch Nails release is given a Halo number; a list of all Halo numbered releases can be found here.
