Nine Inch Nails - Non-Entity (Studio Version)

[@Radooder]

Why this didn't make the final cut of With Teeth I don't know, it's such a good nine inch nails track dark, moody, energetic full of suspense and excellent synths. Trent you are a genius

[@JacobBen94]

Christian Kirschenmann and not so pretty now

[@JacobBen94]

Christian Kirschenmann and now im nothing

[@shaitet]

Now I'm Nothing would've made a great opening to PHM.

[@AstartesPanda]

Yurp. bugs me to think he must have so many other tracks never finished that we might never hear. The Fragile deviations was alright but too much today NIN influence i felt if that makes sense. Cleaned it up too much, added stuff they didnt add anything (end of starfuckers) o.0

[@lostmedia-e6p]

@@shaitet I think Now I'm Nothing was just an opener for Terrible Lie in-general, wasn't it?

[@THEFLESHGOD]

the best lyric in the song

[@moekakal]

Thefirstoneofmykind i think you mean best lyric period

[@idunnopoetry]

I love so much how many of the lyrics in this song call back to and reference the other songs on With Teeth. It's like a summation of all the concepts on the album. "maze of monochrome" = All The Love In The World "How can I go home?" = Home "Try to stand in line" = The Hand That Feeds "Staring at the sun" = Sunspots Then there are some that more loosely reference lyrics and ideas, such as these: "I'm fading out of sight" = Beside You In Time "Try to obey" = Getting Smaller There are other that are more of a stretch, but you get the idea. Brilliance!

[@depp0000000000]

Ghosts find my way

[@brandyjackson3875]

Crazy!!!! Thay makes sense

[@corntastrophy]

Honestly this feels more like a song that mixes both The Fragile and With Teeth together. This and Deep is what I imagine NIN sounding like if Trent released an album in 2001 or 2002

[@melessalou]

Reminds me of 04 Ghosts I in the beginning

[@melessalou]

​@@corntastrophyStill was released January 2002...quieter versions of tracks from previous albums

[@mangytomcat]

"The sky is not the same Shade of blue Every single thing I believe isn't true Missing in the maze of monochrome How did I get here? How can I go home? The echoes in my eyes Of all they used to see Burning down the world The ashes and debris And all that's left of me Non-Entity Try to stand in line Try to obey The ghost of what I was Keeps getting in the way Staring at the sun Blinded by the light Now I'm afraid, I'm fading out of sight The echoes in my eyes Of all they used to see Burning down the world The ashes and debris And all that's left of you And all that's left of me All have washed away Non-Entity Source: Musixmatch"

[@sillyskeleton]

This would have arguably been the best track on With Teeth. God knows what possessed Trent to think it wasn't worth putting it on there at the time.

[@bornon18]

I think it's the arrangement. It's a good tune at its core, but the arrangement is kinda meh. Solo piano Trent version is by far the best version of this song.

[@DAMELKEYON]

Beautiful song. I don't doubt Trent's decision making, but I think this would have been just fine on the With Teeth album.

[@Ellie-dl9pr]

DAMELKEYON I agree. There are quite a few similar sounding songs on the With Teeth album. It would've fit so perfectly on there.

[@CleverMetaphor]

But it makes it special those few times you hear it separately

[@surroundgatari]

Replace Love Is Not Enough with it! I think the real reason is he just didn't have it recorded and/or properly mixed in time

[@BuddhaDog93]

Considering he let "everything" slide onto Hesitation Marks, its straight blasphemy this was left off With Teeth

[@mathewhair4615]

Very good idea, seems like it would've been flawless.

[@sonnyfausel4386]

I remember watching Trent play this song live to benefit Hurricane Katrina and I was in actual tears by the end. It felt so personal and was one of the best live performances I've ever seen in my life.

[@NytronX]

A boom box and a grand piano. Absolutely legendary performance.

[@educationisnice]

Get over it

[@Rikku147]

This is such an incredible song...

[@duggiedug9148]

Rebeca A. I add it to the with Teeth album. It fits perfectly

Another lost track that seems to have found me at the perfect time. ⚡👽⚡

[@GersonRicardoPerez]

I’ve been with NIN since 1988. I still find new shit that slipped through the other awesomeness of trent & co’s productions.

[@GersonRicardoPerez]

Like Head Down. Mosh pit material - as I was doing just that at the time 19-21. Now at 43 The Beautiful Nightmare (Head Down) is what’s circling me head constantly. Those to Trent made versions are literally diametrically opposite Both have a place

Mr. Reznor's music can be easily categorized into phases of my life and those tracks that aren't filed yet are simply awaiting their turn. So glad he's still at it 30+ yrs later

[@valathe]

i just realized i saw NIN peform this song live, 6 fucking years ago. and i still remember it so clearly...

[@erikclark7802]

Valathe yup

[@mannixzombie544]

One of the best NIN songs ever. Those awesome drums, the guitar during the chorus... All EPIC!

[@Ellie-dl9pr]

This song is so amazing, dark, moody, eerie, just overall so perfect. Trent Reznor is a phenomenal artist! I would give this song a billion thumbs up if I could.

[@mohammedelnaiem3989]

Amazing song! I have a feeling Trent left this song out because the vibe it was trying to give off was already achieved in love is not enough.

[@completetool11]

He should have left love is not enough off instead 😂

[@caseyawheeldon8296]

There's still to this day, not one song that i don't like. Truly a god of the Industrial world.

[@BuddhaDog93]

CaseyA Wheeldon Of his vast catalog the only song i cant stand is "Everything" off of Hesitation. just doesn't do it for me and it feels like he put minimal interest in it

[@bigguy1164]

then you clearly didn't pay attention to it. It's as depressing as the rest of Hesitation Marks.

[@surroundgatari]

I like that song! I think Trent's a genius of course, but there are some songs I just don't like that much by him. Love Is Not Enough for example, is great instrumentally but the lyrics are awful, they're not really saying anything he hasn't said before and they're doing it in a very boring way. Kinda I Want To has obnoxious stereo panning and cringeworthy lyrics. But I don't dislike any of those songs, I can only really come up with one song like that; In Two from HM. I hate the first half of this song, it starts with a great atmospheric build up then Trent's delivery is really awkward and the instrumentation is tripping on its own wires. After that an awful vocoder effect with trent just saying "nononnonono", it's almost comical, and the chorus has this fumbling confused falsetto harmony, it just sounds bad. After the second chorus there's a great typical NIN quiet bridge section which is fantastic, and then the transition into WISH here is excellent. Not a complete catastrophy, and not worth skipping but I don't like the main part of that song at all!

[@crowkangi]

god of the rock world in general.

[@williebroughton5620]

@@surroundgatari I like LINE and In two.😭

[@robertmiles6137]

This may be one of the best songs ever made in the history of the world. What a brooding, raw song, every aspect is perfect the eeriness of the piano, the guitar giving it a bit of that hopeful feel, I hear this song and I hear perseverance of the human will in spite of nearly having lost all hope.

[@THEFLESHGOD]

perseverance of the human will??? nothing to do with that at all, dont disgrace this song with such nonsense!

Four years is not that long; it hardly would’ve made a difference. songs don’t exactly dull over time so much as your mind does when you listen to them

Just realised basicallynonentity could be female and if someone is in such a dark place that certain music literally does save their lives,who are you to question that.I've listened to nin for 20yrs and have had depression for most of those."Oh nin are so depressing".Sick of hearing that.I'm hardly going to listen to something that will tip me over the edge!His lyrics are powerful,thought provoking and very perceptive.Something a lot of ppl can relate to.Don't know what music you listen to but even if i thought it was shit,i would not disrespect you for how it makes you feel.If you have feelings.

i really like the drums on this one. reminds me the best drums are scottish and japanese. his voice is great too. its like with the literature we were mostly all of us reading during the time when the clubs were open....read enough of an author or listen enough to a particular band or person and discover if they have long lasting and genuine talent or not. well i think he does. they do. stephen king clive barker and anne rice at the time.... he's so cool because he's an engineer and Doom is him.

[@educationisnice]

Voidless conception of all of your perceptions are inane to my self. The most important person on earth is myself because I’m the one conceiving the awareness of what my reality is. 99% are nicht to me. The consciousness is fueled by the soul and the mechanics of your body but the soul travels after the body breaks down and it’s haunting the help out of me with, sadness, beauty, love, want, euphoria and hope. There for I I’m not the most important person in my reality because I have a counterpart that sees much and understands much better than I. Love
