Just to clarify, the monkey in the video was not at all harmed, they gave him lots of bananas and love during the filming, the ASPCA was present during filming of the music video. The pig carcass was real, but it was purchased from a slaughterhouse and Trent Reznor regretted it because it smelled very bad.

I remember when this video came out, it was huge! They had to censor it for TV, but the way they did it was brilliant: instead of blurring certain scenes or part of the images, they inserted a "Scene Missing" title card in the same grainy antique film; it looked completely organic and even planned, which IMO gave an even more disturbing effect because your mind had to fill in the blanks and, given the tone of the video and the song and the band, your imagination just went to really dark places to figure out what those images could possibly be. I've been looking for that cut for TV video and can't seem to find it anywhere, it's a great example of the video director's creativity!

The instrumental gives such a perfect sense of instinctual fear, cause it's basically a tune you would hear in a club, but the tone that they use is so gooey and feels like pulsating ooze and the beat is like your heart beat. Then the chorus hits and it sounds almost carnival like.

@ugandanknuckles390011 ай бұрын
@@osiris4457 I've heard TDS countless times. I was referring to the imagery in the video. It's symbolism within the context of the song- within the context of the album. Closer is effectively the formative and culminative release the protagonist of the album feels, the only time that he really feels alive. And what it means after; without. It's a specific form of descent into madness. One that is all about escaping who somebody is- to become somebody or something they're not. There's a reason The Ruiner is the next track on the list. It's the aftermath of this abstract notion taken to it's decay through the personification of the other- within the self. An inner representative entity that embodies the worst aspects of human nature. The ruiner is a collector he's an infector serving his sh*t to his flies. You want what the Ruiner is giving you but you know it's wrong, you know it's apart of you, and you know fighting it won't win. The moral is It's about coming to terms with your human nature, not fighting it. From thereon the album takes a psychotic dive into depersonalization and a dissociative inhumane drive towards self destruction as the concept itself. The protagonist does not "make it". Whether physically or psychologically is audibly left to the listener.

I like it a lot. To me it represents how giving in to sexual urges can leave us disoriented and spinning out of control. Without self control we just run around in circles. Kind of reminds me of the 2nd circle in Dante's Inferno, where the punishment for Lust was beating you back and forth in an endless, violent wind symbolizing how we can be carried away by our passions.

I haven’t heard or thought about this song in probably 2 years. My late bf and I listened to it and I told him how my parents would blast it when it was released to embarrass me… I was young and prude. This morning I saw a TikTok of a woman recreating the video and ran here to watch the original. The visceral reaction I had from the combination of the lyrics w/these visuals was 10000/10

Apparently it's generally interpreted as some sort of "sex" or "lust" anthem, which seems kind of silly considering how many lines there are in the song that mention self-deprecation, feeling of emptiness and obsession. It would seem that in this song, sex is simply a way to give meaning to life, and since the character feels like his life is empty and worthless, he obsesses over the one thing that makes him feel good: sex. It's not saying "sex is great", it's more like saying "sex is the only thing that makes me feel right".

hellfeather I was actually , in Dallas , and that particular video didn’t seem to bother anyone, now the video for the album broken was attacked because it was a well simulated snuff film, I’m pretty sure peter christopherson was in on its production.. but that was all I saw... now when the Woodstock thing happened it raised some eyebrows, I don’t remember people being offended by any of it really, I mean you had jocks calling him a fag etc ... but yeah i was listening to coil, and psychic tv , and going to forbidden books, and William s Burroughs exhibits ( obviously reading all his literature) and trying to visit him in person. The closer video in particular didn’t seem to make any really intolerant pc culture waves, because at the time if you became outraged or offended it was all about you, and no one cared, minus looking down on you a bit for not being able to hang. The mothers of America and tipper gore etc later became focused on the antics of Marilyn Manson , which was catering to their Christian outrage.
