My long, indepth review of Nine Inch Nails' "With Teeth"

It is indeed very good I love the way on Getting Smaller, the guitar parts start out not together with each other, and then slowly they kind of "find" each other and are brought together, it's SUCH a good intro.
 
01_All The Love In The World

Watching all the insects march along
Seem to know just right where they belong
Smears of face reflecting in the crow
Hiding in the crowd I'm all alone
No one's heard a single word of sound
They don't sound this good outside my head
It looks as though the past is here to stay
I've become a million miles away

Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?

All the jagged edges dissapear
Colors all look brighter when you're near
the stars are all afire in the sky
Sometimes I get so lonely I could

Why do you get all the love in the world?



02_You Know What You Are?

I try to snake myself through trying to get to the other side
i try to smash up the cracks and the holes that i have to hide
For a little bit of time maybe it worked okay
Just long enough to really make it hurt
They figured me out and it all just rotted away

Don't you fucking know what you are?
Don't you fucking know what you are?
Don't you fucking know what you are? (Get back to where you belong)

You better take a good look cause you're full shit
With every bit in my heart i try to believe it
You can dust it all off you can try to pretend
but you can't change anything
you can't change anything

Don't you fucking know what you are?
Don't you fucking know what you are?
Don't you fucking know what you are? (Go on Get back to where you belong)

Remember where you came from
remember where you've been
Remember where you came from
Remember what you are

Don't you fucking know what you are?
Don't you fucking know what you are?
Don't you fucking know what you are? (Go on Get back to where you belong)
Don't you fucking know what you are? (Get Back to where you belong)



03_The Collector

I pick things up
I am a collector
And things well things they tend to accumulate
I have this net
it drags behind me
It picks up feelings for me to feed upon

There are times plenty of times i wish i could let it go
It's not to grow inside me
There are times plenty of times i wish i could let it go

I'm trying to fit it all inside
I'm trying to open my mouth wide
I'm trying not to choke
And swallow it all

I am the pig
I am the swarm
All your heart sticks on me
And i keep it warm

It won't let me stay
it won't let me leave
There are so god damn many of them it gets hard to breath

I'm trying to fit it all inside
I'm trying to open my mouth wide
I'm trying not to choke inside
I am a good boy and will swallow it all

I'm building something bigger than the whole fucking world
I'm building something terrible

Every last one



04_The Hand That FeeRAB

You're keeping in step
in the line
got your chin held high and you feel just fine
cause you do
what you're told
But inside your heart is black and it's hollow and it's cold

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeRAB?
Will you chew until it bleeRAB?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you wanna change it?

What if this whole crusade's
a charade
and behind it all there's a price to pay
for the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeRAB?
Will you chew until it bleeRAB?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you wanna change it?

So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
But I can see but i keep holding on and on

Will you bite the hand that feeRAB you?
Will you stay down on your knees?



05_Love is Not Enough

The more that we take
The better we get
I can't remember what it is
Trying to forget
The towel on the floor
So cold it could sting

And your eyes show a place worth remembering
Here we go and take this and smash it apart
I've gone all this fucking way
just to wind up back at the start

The closer we think we are
Well it only got us so far
Now you've got anything left to show
No no I didn't think so
The sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
Underneath we're not so tough
Love is not enough

Well it hides in the dark
like a withered vein
We didn't give it a mouth
So it cannot complain
We never really had a chance
We never really made it through
And to think I believed I could get better than you



06_Every Day is Exactly The Same

I believe I can see the future
because i repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again that might have been a dream

I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around Oh no

Every Day is exactly the same
Every Day is exactly the same
There is no love here, and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes yet I still pretend

I can't remember how this got started
But i can you exactly how it will end

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday someday they might find
We'll I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind

I am still inside
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know what else I can do

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same



07_With Teeth

She comes along
She gets inside
She's better than anything you've tried
It's her kiss
The black seal
It runs deeper than you can dare to dream it could be

With Teeth
With Teeth
With Teeth
With Teeth

Wave Goodbye
To what you were
The rules have changed
The lines begin to blur

She makes you hard
She comes on strong
You've finally found
The place where you belong

With Teeth
With Teeth
With Teeth
With Teeth

I cannot go through this again



08_Only

I'm becoming less defined
As days go by
Fading away, well you might say
I'm losing focus
Kind of drifting in the asbtract
In terms of how I see myself
Sometimes I think i can see right through myself
Sometims I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting in with the world
Your world that is
Cause it dosen't really matter anymore
No it dosen't really matter anymore
None of this even matters

This time I'm alone
Then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think It's maybe because
You were nevery really real to begin with

I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself

and it worked, yes it did

There is no you there is only me
There is no you there is only me
There is no fucking you there is only me
There is no fucking you there is only me

Only Only Only Only

The tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it was something bad
But i just couldn't leave it alone
I couldn't help underneat that scab was a doorway that I climb through

No i'm Somewhere i shouldn't be
And i could see things know i really shouldn't see

And now I know why
Things aren't as pretty on the inside

There is no you there is only me
There is no you there is only me
There is no fucking you there is only me
There is no fucking you there is only

Only Only Only Only

Only Only Only Only



09_Getting Smaller

Getting a little eratic here
And i don't know who to trust
Guess they got away with reading my mind
Guess I gotta adjust
I got my arms flip flop flip flop flip
I got my hanRAB spring
I thought I got you on my side
I haven't got fucking anything

I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even trying to stand out
I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller
and i have nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I'm afraid I'm starting to fade away

I kind of seep through the cracks
as i press up on the wall
I'm not looking to stand up real high
I'd be happy to crawl

I think i'm losing my grip
But i can still make a fist
You know I still got my one good arm
I can beat myself up with

I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even trying to stand out
I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller
and i have nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I'm afraid I'm starting to fade away

And for what it's worth
I really used to believe
Maybe there's some great thing
We can acheive
Now I can't tell the difference
Or no what to feel -
Between what I'm trying so hard to see and what appears to be real

Fading Away

My world is getting smaller every day
And that's okay



10_Sunspots

Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes
Sometimes I forget I'm alive

I feel it coming and i gotta to get away
I hear it calling and I come cause i can't disobey
I should not listen and I should not keave but i do

She turns me on
She makes it real
I have to apologize for the way I feel

My life it seems is taken a turn
Why in the name of God would I ever want to return

Peel off our skin we're gonna burn what we were to the ground
Fuck in the fire and we'll spin all the ashes around
I want to kill off the rest of what's less and I do

She turns me on
She makes it real
I have to apologize for the way I feel

Nothing can stop me now!
There is nothing to fear
And everything I'd ever want
Is inside of here

Inside of here

Now i just stare into the sun
And i see everything I've done
Think I could have been someone
I just stare into the sun

When everything in said and done
There is no place left to run
I think i used to be someone
Now I just stare into the sun



11_The Line Begins To Blur

There are things that i said I would never do
There are fears that i cannot believe have come true
For my soul is too sick and too little and too late
And myself I have grown too weary to hate

The more I stay in here
The more it's not so clear
The more I stay in here
The more I dissapear
As far as I have gone
I knew what side i'm on
Now i'm not so sure
The line begins to blur

Is there someone on top of me? I don't know, I don't know
Isn't anybody stopping me? I don't know, I don't know
How much longer can I hold my breath? I don't know,I don't know
Just how far down can i Go? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

As I lay here and stare
The fabric starts to tear
It's far beyond repair
And i don't really care
As far as I have gone
I knew what side i'm on
Now i'm not so sure
The line begins to blur



12_Beside you in time

I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parrallel I know it's you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through
and on and on this goes on and on and on

Now that i've decided not to stay
I can feel me start to fade away
everything is back where it belongs
I will be beside you before long
and on and on this goes on and on and on

We will never die
beside you in time



13_Right Where It Belongs

See the animal in the cage that you built
are you sure what side you're on
Better not look him to closely in the eye
are you sure what side of the glass you are

See the saftey of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of you heart
and its all right where it belongs

What if everything around you
isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
is an elaborate dream
When you look at your reflection
Is that all you wanted to be
What if you look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own
The devils and the goRAB
all the living and the dead
And you really all don't know
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the worRAB
Are you hiding in the trees?

What if everything around you
isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you used to know
is an elaborate dream
When you look at your reflection
Is that all you wanted to be
What if you look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see
 
i will definately buy the album when it comes out, even though i have the whole thing on my computer. i also need to buy a new copy of the pretty hate machine ( my old cd is scratched to hell).
 
only songs i've been able to get (just randomly, haven't looked) are getting smaller and the line begins to blur...i fucking love line begins to blur- and guess what may 3rd is my birthday so it looks like trent is giving me a personal bday present
 
i just listened to the whole cd and is my 2nd favorite NIN album EVER. almost every song on this cd is good in its own unique way. "right where it belongs" is a perfect way to end the cd. it's a moving song.

pretty hate machine is still the best IMO with this cd coming in a close 2nd.
 
I dig it......also my second studio fav, behind Spiral. All That Could Have Been still rocks my pants, though.

And, remarkably, I have the entire album with lyrics on my computer, and I am ALSO going to buy the CD the day it hits the stores. What has come over me?
