For me personally the last minute of this song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.
@nige123 жыл бұрын
Yeah from 3:05 onwards is beautiful. Its almost like a slow but satisfying release of stress and tension after a frantic or stressful period knowing you survived, but with a pinch of melancholy thrown in but not in a bad way. Like laying on a comfy bed in a darkened room after feeling absolutely spent or knackered. That's about the best way I can describe that sensation.

It’s actually a song about a person trying to find the next fix of H. It’s driving him crazy all day and then he gets his fix and it almost kills him. He’s ok with it at that moment, he’s ok with dying because he’s completely addicted and doesn’t want to chase the dragon anymore.

@@mina_loi thats like saying "Its inappropriate to have a child in the same movie as sexual activity" How, then, are we to tell a story which features children and sex?? Are we going to overprotect those who need no protection? At no point in this music film was a child harmed or subjected to any inappropriate treatment. When a child is used as a symbol they might be paired with any subject. We can't be oversensitive or we are going to ruin storytelling as a medium. Please don't be oversensitive. Nobody is getting abused in this video.

Fools you into thinking it's a song about loving someone so bad you can't live without them. But anyone with addiction experience will say this is a love song to something like opiates. I guess love addiction works too, but there's no reading behind the lines here in a song called "The Perfect Drug"

People don't ever seem to remember that Trent learned piano from his grandmother as a small child and it has been remarked about him having an "ordinary middle-class childhood"; however, he was considered an introvert. Then worked as an assistant recording engineer and janitor at Right Track Records in Cleveland, OH which is where he taught himself everything about recording, during the studio's down time, as the owner decided to let him work on his own demo's for free. He has earned a BS Degree in Computer Engineering from the distinctive Allegheny College and has a registered IQ score of 170, which is the same score as Einstein. During the making of "The Downward Spiral" album, he rented the Sharon Tate House near Los Angeles, where six people had been murdered by members of The Manson Family in 1969. Reznor lived in what essentially is the master bedroom, where he isolated himself away in the closet, which he converted into a sound recording booth, with a new Apple laptop computer, loaded with some excellent sound engineering software, where he created everything himself, except for the drums. While living in the Tate Murder House he befriended a tall skinny kid, who idolized Reznor and took the residence's reputation as part his stage name ― Marilyn Manson. They remain friends. He's the consummate perfectionist, who refuses to be dictated too; nor, will he ever compromise his vision. One recording studio found out, as he so infamously mailed them a letter from himself, who had cut his own contract into shreds. Another studio was undercut by Reznor, who had notoriously released his own music for free, so his fan's could copy and redistribute his work, just because he refused to give into studio management's demands regarding his "violent content and liberal use of profanity". Reznor has been a longtime proponent of self-creating, self-orchestrating, self-composing, self-promoting, as well as self-producing your own music, which gave way to the DIY production revolution, now seen on a multitude of online platforms ― So now, you can be your own maverick, due to his many talents. Reznor wrote this single for the David Lynch film "Lost Highway", which is the reason why he indulged the video's director Mark Romanek, who accurately depicted the Macabre Edwardian Era aesthetic, based on two distinct Gothic-Horror writers. So, whenever people say Trent Reznor is a music genius ― It's all very, very true ......!!!! * Side Note: If you require further analysis, as well as an intellectual challenge, then analyze the video's three distinct themes and references by looking into director Mark Romanek. The video's director took inspiration from two distinct American author's: Edward Gorey (1925-2000) who authored ‘‘The Hapless Child’’ (1961) and his abecedarian books ‘‘The Gashlycrumb Tinies’’ (1963) and ‘‘The Chinese Obelisks: Fourth Alphabet’’ (1970). The central figure of Gothic-Horror literature is Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), who's works employ the death of a beautiful woman as a main plot, such as ‘‘Annabel Lee’’ (1849), ‘‘The Raven’’ (1845), ‘‘Berenice’’ (1835), ‘‘Ligeia’’ (1838), ‘‘Morella’’ (1835) and, ‘‘The Fall of the House of Usher’’(1839), but also as the heavy absinthe drinker Edgar Allen Poe was alleged to be, but also ‘‘The Imp of the Perverse’’ (1845) and ‘‘The Tell-Tale Heart’’ (1843) are in comparison to the music video.

Marilyn Manson and his band recorded their first demo tape under the name "Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids" in 1989. Trent Reznor didn't rent the Sharon Tate house until 1992, so the "residence's reputation" had no influence on Marilyn Manson's stage name. More importantly, Reznor and Manson have NOT remained friends. In 2009 Reznor said of Manson, “He is a malicious guy and will step on anybody’s face to succeed and cross any line of decency." Once again, Reznor released a public statement in 2021 denouncing his former friend. He said, “I have been vocal over the years about my dislike of Manson as a person and cut ties with him nearly 25 years ago." However, I agree with you that Trent Reznor is an uncompromising artist and most definitely a musical genius.

According to the Wikipedia article for this song, it says/reads the following about this music video: The theme was inspired by the illustrations of 20th-century artist Edward Gorey, with familiar Gorey elements including oversized urns and glum, pale characters in full Edwardian costume. The most obvious reference to Gorey is the boy sitting on a cushion in front of a painting. Other references include an unidentified painting resembling Gustav Klimt's The Kiss (1907-1908) and a "Scanning Machine" designed by Frenchman François Willème in 1860.
