It is hard to believe in yourself and in your art when it is being sold to the masses for a gross profit.
Nine Inch Nails writes emotional, and intellectual music that transcends mere sales... yet don't forget its part of a consumer network.
You better take a good look cause I'm full of shit
With every bit my heart and I tried to believe in it
Looking back on it, the images he presented and themes dealt with in albums are beautiful, yet they are industrialized to the point of being souless...
You can push it all out, you can try to pretend
But you can't change anything, you can't change anything in the end
His battle with interscope over control of his music was long and dirty...
couldn't even play with the set he wanted at the grammy's... so he denied it.
This song is his stage of recognition, that his music has become another aspect of consumer culture, yet its marketed as 'underground' to all the subversive teens...
So ask yourself DON'T YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?
You are a consumer whore if you bought this record or payed 60 bucks to see a show.
He realizes that he is no better (thankfully he is respectfully independently now).
As for you, Go on, get back to where you belong...
