There is no god up in the sky tonight
No sign of heaven anywhere in sight
All that was true is left behind
Once I could see now I am blind
Don't want your dreams you try to sell
This disease I give to myself
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
She makes it sweeter than the sun
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
The temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track
Itches my skin right off of my back
I'll heal your wounds
I'll set you free
I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstasy
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
I am so dirty on the inside
I am so dirty on the inside
I am so dirty on the inside
I am so dirty on the inside
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Suck
Suck
Suck
Suck
A thousand lips a thousand tongues
A thousand throats a thousand lungs
A thousand ways to make it true
I want to do terrible things to you

    My Interpretation:So, this is just the way I interpret this song (by the way, I adore this song, because of both the lyrics and just the instrumental part): the song is about a guy who is on drugs -here I assume perhaps heroin because it 'itches the skin right off my back'- giving head to a girl. He sees the girl as being pure and good, like a temple ('the temple walls are made of flesh' & 'she makes it sweeter than the sun'). He sees himself as a godlike figure because he is making her feel so amazing and he himself feels amazing, 'I'm Jesus Christ on ecstasy'. But at the same time, he feels wrong and dirty -'I'm so dirty', etc- because he is the one on drugs and giving head, while she is just receiving. I see it as him thinking only he is doing something "bad". He knows people think that drugs (and maybe even what he is doing in general) are wrong 'the disease I give myself' and says that he has chosen to forsake help 'there is no god'\'no sign of heaven', and that he doesn't want anyone to comfort him 'don't want the dreams you try to sell'.

    This song represents sort of a downward spiral to me, where you don't want any help and you are just running through life blindly and you make all sorts of bad decisions, because at the moment you just don't care. You're just on a wild, out of control search for pleasure because you are running away from pain. Nothing matters but the ecstasy of the moment. At least, this song reminds me of the times in my life that were like that.
    I know that was kinda an intense dissection of the song, but I really love it so I couldn't help myself. But that's just me and my thoughts.
    -Peace ;)

    General Comment:This song is about recieving head (suck, dirty on the inside, how does it feel?, etc.) while high off of Heroin (runs up my arms till I'm on track, itches my skin right off my back,etc.) in a church (blah blah)

    HOW DOES IT FEEL?!?!? symbolizes two of Trent's favorite things: Sexual contact (SHES GONNA SUCK HIM LIKE AN ANIMALLLL) and shooting up heroin (Because the needle tore a hole)

    General Comment:HE SAID IT!

    TRENT REZNOR IS JESUS!

    Don't give me that it's a cover crap, or that the line was used sarcastically. HE'S JESUS!

    Okay. I actually think the song is about oral sex. 'Course what do I know, I never got any. On another note, I haven't got any drugs either. MAYBE IT'S ABOUT THAT.

    Maybe I should be SURE I know what I'm talking about before I post comments, huh?

    General Comment:the song is about him going down on girl and that hes the jesus christ of basically being a whore.
    " I bow my head to confess" meaning hes getting on his knees to "suck" her off and " the temple walls are made of flesh" meaning a girl's vagina.

    General Comment:I think it could be about either sex and/or drugs. I think that they were just writing about being in ecstacy and describing it.
