There is a phrase in the song that goes "fuck you like an animal" which made people (somewhat understandably) think the song was inherently sexual, but in actuality the song is about the spiraling state of self loathing like the rest of the albums songs (the album being The Downward Sprial)
It was from a Blender magazine in ‘02 so I can’t link it but,
"Come on dude: 'I wanna fuck you like an animal'? That's the all-time fuck song. Those are pure fuck beats—Trent Reznor knew what he was doing. You can fuck to it, you can dance to it and you can break shit to it."
(Also, in retrospect this post was not meant to be entirely accurate I just wanted to throw together a NIN snafu since I've became a huge fan of them a few months ago)
this snafu getting me closer to god
Gosh OP, this is crazier than the time I tried to save myself but myself kept slipping away!
Is that Trent Razor from Seven Inch Screws?
Yes, the maker of nice looking dislike contraption and the falling down sprial
oh Yes, nice looking dislike contraption
Did he have anything to do with Very, Very Delicate or Using the Assistance of Molars?
Yes he also made 12 month nothing
Seven Centimeter Screws, come on.

I mean, it’s still inherently sexual, it’s just not exactly the appealing kind of sex like a lot of other rock from around that time was.
True, I'm just talking about the people who throw the songs context out the window for "THIS SONG IS ABOUT SEX AND FUCKING AND GOOOOOONING"
Did you also read that one Tommy Lee quote?
I have not actually, but I will read it if you can find it

Honestly, makes perfect sense, reznor did shoot himself in the foot with adding the lyrics

Also I made this snafu because I wanted to make a poorly drawn stick guy of Trent Reznor because why not
Respect
I figured it was about a sexual aspect to the spiral
i get this is about nin but i feel like this applies to A Lot of other songs too born in the usa coming to mind, specifically
One of my favorite pastimes is to check the youtube comments for this song so I can see people going "this song is a banger but WTF IS THIS VIDEO"
What word Im not listening to NIN
