}}'''"Sanctified"''' is the fourth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'', recognizable by its electronic tom-based drum beat and distinctive slap bassline, the only [[NIN]] song containing that playing technique. Its mood was altered from its happier demo form to a darker, uneasier one for ''Pretty Hate Machine''.

[[Trent Reznor]] has said the song is about a "relationship with a cocaine pipe." He stated that while he knew it could be interpreted as being about a relationship with a woman, it was more about addiction.[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/display/531]
