What makes NiN for me is that they don't just bang-out some heavy crap, and that's it. Trent usually manages to put these great musical breaks in, unexpected and really effective. It shows that he really knows what he is doing, and is a brilliant musician and composer.

Isn't here anymore All pain disappears It's the nature of... Of my circuitry Drowns out all I hear No escape from this My new consciousness The me that you know He used to have feelings But the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay The me that you know is now made up of wires And even when i'm right with you i'm so far away I can try to get away But I've strapped myself in I can try to scratch away The sound in my ears I can see it killing away All of my bad parts I don't want to listen But it's all too clear Hiding Backwards inside of me I feel... so unafraid Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head It won't give up, it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head

This might sound crazy but I think this song may have saved my life. The lyrics struck on such a personal level that they gave me the perspective I needed. About a year ago I felt trapped with a “boyfriend” and I never would have accepted such abuse from anyone else but that was before “all pain disappeared.” I heard this song and lyrics like: “I’m stuck in this dream it’s changing me.” I understood that I was putting up with his excuses and every time I thought things couldn’t possibly get worse they always did because he thought he’d never be accountable. “The me that you know he use to have feelings but the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay.” “All pain disappears, it’s the nature of my new circuitry.” “Drowns out all I hear. No escape from this my new consciousness.” “I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in.” “It won’t give up it wants me dead and goddamn this noise inside my head.” I realized over a slow process of desensitization I’d lost all perspective. I left, and cut off all contact and my life is much better! Your mind has ways of playing tricks on you when you don’t remember to take a step back and get the bigger picture. If something feels wrong trust your instincts!

Recently, he's had some second thoughts, and even though the him that you know doesn't come around much, he will eventually beat the machine and toss Palpatine down a reactor shaft, thus finally becoming right with you, despite being so far away.
