verse 1
I am the voice inside your head (and i control you)
I am the lover in your bed (and i control you)
I am the sex that you provide (and i control you)
I am the hate you try to hide (and i control you)

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct

I speak religion's message clear (and i control you)
I am denial, guilt and fear (and i control you)
I am the prayers of the naïve (and i control you)
I am the lie that you believe (and i control you)

chorus
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct

You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)
You let me do this to you (i am an exit)

I am the needle in the vein
I am the high you can't sustain
I am the pusher, i'm a whore
I am the need in you for more

I am the bullet in the gun (and i control you)
I am the truth from which you run (and i control you)
I am the silencing machine (and i control you)
I am the end of all your dreams (and i control you)

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, i use you up
Mr. self destruct

edit soundcloud
"Self Destruction" by Nine Inch Nails is a powerful and intense song that delves into themes of self-destructive behavior and inner turmoil. The lyrics speak of a controlling force that influences and manipulates the protagonist, leading them down a path of destruction. The chorus reflects the cyclical nature of this destructive behavior, as the protagonist is dragged down and used up by their own actions.

The song paints a dark and haunting picture of addiction, denial, and the struggle to break free from destructive patterns. The bridge highlights the allure of these destructive behaviors, likening them to a drug that the protagonist can't resist.

Overall, "Self Destruction" is a raw and emotional track that captures the feelings of helplessness and despair that can come with battling inner demons. The intense instrumentation and Trent Reznor's haunting vocals further emphasize the chaotic and self-destructive nature of the song.

Biography

edit bio
Nine Inch Nails is an industrial rock project led by the incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor. Reznor has been the driving force behind the project for many years, serving as the only constant member until Atticus Ross officially joined in 2016. Despite the ever-changing lineup of band members for live performances, Nine Inch Nails has consistently produced highly influential records across a wide array of genres, including industrial and electronic rock.

Throughout the 1990s, Nine Inch Nails released several groundbreaking albums that pushed the boundaries of music. The project gained a reputation for its innovative sound and intense live performances. After eight successful studio releases, Reznor decided to put Nine Inch Nails on hiatus in 2009 to focus on other projects. However, he made a triumphant return in 2013 with announced tour dates across the United States and overseas.

Nine Inch Nails has received numerous accolades over the years, including 13 Grammy Award nominations and two wins for songs "Wish" and "Happiness In Slavery." Reznor himself was recognized in Time magazine's list of the year's most influential people, and Spin magazine has hailed him as "the most vital artist in music."

The band has released a total of nine studio albums since their debut in 1989, as well as four original EPs. Nine Inch Nails was also one of the first artists to have an independently released record go platinum. Their albums have achieved great success, with two reaching the number one spot on the U.S. charts - The Fragile and With Teeth - and four others landing in the top 5.

Each official Nine Inch Nails release is assigned a Halo number, providing a unique identifier for fans. The band's discography showcases their evolution and innovation over the years, solidifying their status as one of the most influential and groundbreaking acts in the music industry.
