Biography

Industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails (abbreviated as NIN and stylized as NIИ) was formed in 1988 by [a27457] in Cleveland, Ohio. Reznor has served as the main producer, singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and sole member of Nine Inch Nails for 28 years. This changed in December 2016 when [a259284] officially became the second member of the band. Nine Inch Nails straddles a wide range of many styles of rock music and other genres that require an electronic sound, which can often cause drastic changes in sound from album to album. However, NIN albums in general have many identifiable characteristics in common, such as recurring leitmotifs, chromatic melodies, dissonance, terraced dynamics and common lyrical themes. Nine Inch Nails is most famously known for the melding of industrial elements with pop sensibilities in their first albums. This move was considered instrumental in bringing the industrial genre as a whole into the mainstream, although genre purists and Trent Reznor alike have refused to identify NIN as an industrial band. In 2020, Nine Inch Nails was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

LYRICS

well you've got me working so hard lately.
working my hands until they bleed.
if i was twice the man i could be.
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
all of your back up to your chin.
over to the tip of your switchblade as you pull it out and stick it in.

(Twist,Twist,Twist) we can go a little deeper.
(Twist,Twist,Twist) i'm wearing these chains.
(Twist,Twist,Twist) you make it hurt real good.
(Twist,Twist,Twist) i love the pain.

well you just leave me nailed here.
hanging like Jesus on the cross.
i'm just dying for your sins.
and aiding to the cause.

wrap my soul in bandages.
i'm tired of this war.
go ahead and cut me.
i can't even feel it anymore.
