Changes

}}'''"Only"''' is the eighth track on the 2005 album ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]].'' . It was released as a [[Only (halo)|single]] in summer 2005, receiving the designation [[Halo numbers|Halo 20]]. It is known for its upbeat and synthesizer-driven instrumentation, and casual lyric delivery, reminiscent of 1989's "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]"." It was censored on radio, though it was obvious that the word "fucking" was being cut out."Only" was the last song finished for ''With Teeth.''.[http://web.archive.org/web/20060430005415/httphttps://www.nin.comwiki/images/access5/2_26_055a/questions102005_02_26Questions10.gif] It was the second song that saw the release of its [[multitracks]] for fan remixes. ==="Down In It"==="Only" contains a verse that is very similar to a verse in the song "Down In It."'''"Down In It":'''''Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see/But I watched it way too long it was pulling me down'''''"Only":'''''Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye/And it turned out to be a scab/And I had this funny feeling/Like I just knew it's something bad''

This is the original album version. The track opens with programmed drums and a bouncy bassline, which establish a groove that lends it a somewhat disco feel. Reznor's vocals are largely spoken, which some have likened to the vocal delivery style of Talking Heads' David Byrne. Much like on "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]", the first section of each chorus is shouted. The drum machine used is the same as was used in the [[How To Destroy Angels]] track "[[Fur-Lined]]". Per the titles of the song's multitracks, a Bösendorfer piano was used on this song.

"Only" made its live debut on the [[2005/09/19_Phoenix,_AZ|third show]] of the [[With Teeth Fall Arena Tour]], and quickly became a setlist staple. This would continue for multiple tours, with "Only" appearing at most shows on the [[Performance 2007]] tour and almost every performance on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]].

During the [[Live: With Teeth]] and Performance 2007 touring cycles, a unique intro would be performed with [[Aaron North]] and Trent Reznor on guitars. During the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]], a different, longer intro was performed solo by [[Robin Finck]]. From the [[NIN 2013 Festival Tour]] onwards, the intro was performed the same as the studio version. The song was played with live drums until 2014, when [[Ilan Rubin ]] began playing bass while the band played to a backing track. It was then occasionally performed as a remixed/mash-up version in collaboration with [[Boys Noize]] on Act III of the [[Peel It Back Tour]], using Boys Noize's song "Loaded" as the base.

Additional lyrics were printed in the ''With Teeth'' PDF booklet, but do not feature in the song, and are only included in one of the Pro Tools multitrack setsset:
