===The Downward Spiral===
This album version incorporates drones and the sound of flies surrounding a single acoustic guitar layered on top, playing the "Downward Spiral Motif." It also gains a repetitive two-note melody played on Mellotron. The music then moves into a second section and begins to build up, culminating in a third section with sounds of Reznor screaming in desperation, surrounded by thunderous drums, guitar and synthesizer playing the motif, all equalized and manipulated so as to sound distant and less powerful. Reznor recites the lyrics quietly on top. Finally, the song abruptly ends with an elongated cymbal crash and the sound of white noise, which segues into "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]". On the 5.1 surround sound version, the loud rock ending plays in the back speakers, leaving the front two to play the motif, and the center channel for Reznor's vocals. The intro [[samples]] the watery noise at the beginning from the film ''Alien'', and also pitched-down strings from the "Twins" cue on the ''Dead Ringers score''score. This song marks the final appearance of the motif on the album, played as follows:<br>
