Nine Inch Nails...making me feel.

[dj_muse]

  There's something about Nine Inch Nails - they/he came along when I was just starting to figure out how to be the person I'm still becoming.  The ill-formed searching and frustration I felt in the lyrics and music always touched something in me.  Maybe it's a bit quieter now that I'm settling more into who I realize I am, but it still has the power to completely unmoor me sometimes.

The last part of Year Zero does this for me...the "Another Version of the Truth" to "In This Twilight" to "Zeroes and Ones" is feeling that way for me, especially tonight.

In This Twilight

Watch the sun
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like
Like it was a friend
If it's watching us
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder
If it feels the same?

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As the time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
We can find a better place
In this twilight

Dust to dust
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person?
If I could only
Do it all again

But the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
We will find a better place
In this twilight
