| I think you've nailed it imo. I don't think its as simple as being about a relationship, I imagine it was written about him becoming more comfortable with himself (since at the time, he was supposedly suffering from social anxiety disorder.) | |
| Nine Inch Nails – No, You Don't Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think that in this song, Trent is pointing out how selfish, shallow and worthless people can be. "smiling in their faces while filing up the hole so many dirty little places in your filthy little worn out broken down see through soul" - IMO, this intro is about how 'broken' and shallow some people are, with their only goal being to fuck others over for their own satisfaction. "baby's got a problem tries so hard to hide got to keep it on the surface because everything else is dead on the other side" - Here he's once again expressing how shallow the person is, with literally no substance to him/her. They are all about appearences and whats on the outside, because they are nothing else. All they care about is getting their 'fix.' "teeth in the necks of everyone you know you can keep on sucking until the blood won't flow when it starts to hurt it only helps it grow taking all you need (but not this time) no, you don't" - This shows how that person uses others and feels no remorse; how the person actually enjoys hurting others and then, once they have all they need - they move on. (But not this time, as the person getting 'used' can see through them.) "and just for the record just so you know I did not believe that you could sink so low" - Here I think he shows his dissapointment in people as a whole, finding it hard to believe that there are people who are so shallow and materialistic. "you think that you can beat them I know that you won't you think you have everything but no, you don't" - And then he states that while their shallowness might give them some satisfaction; they really don't have anything. They're just empty. |
