The Big Come Down (Beside You In Time)
"The Big Come Down" is the ninth track on the Right disc of The Fragile. Its samples were published for a NIN.com remix contest.
Contents
Notes
As with many songs in the NIN library, this song features a recurring lyric or reference. That being the phrase and concept of a "come down" which is an emphasized line from "March Of The Pigs" on The Downward Spiral. The song is more or less related to "Where Is Everybody?" as both include different takes on the lyrics "try so hard to make the pieces all fit."

This is the original album version.
The Big Come Down (Beside You In Time)
This is widely regarded as the best performance in the set, as Trent Reznor's performance is highly energetic. The acoustic guitar in the original album version is replaced with a moderately distorted guitar.
Live
"The Big Come Down" has been performed live since the Fragility tour in 1999.
Lyrics
There is a game I play
Try to make myself okay
Try so hard to make the pieces all fit
Smash it apart
Just for the fuck of it
Bye bye oooh
Got to get back to the bottom
Bye bye oooh
The big come down isn't that what you wanted?
Bye bye oooh
Find a place with the failed and forgotten
Bye bye oooh
Isn't that really what you wanted now?
There is no place I can go there is now way I can hide
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside
There is a hate that burns within
The most desperate place I have ever been
Try to get back to where I'm from
The closer I get the worse it becomes
The closer I get the worse it becomes
There is no place I can go there is no place I can hide
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside
