Album:The Fragile (Vinyl)
Length:3:40
Tempo:{{{BPM}}} BPM
Versions:The New Flesh
Complications Of The Flesh
Live:Fragility through Performance 2007

"The New Flesh" is a song exclusive to the vinyl version of The Fragile, disc 1 of the European and Japanese We're In This Together single, and the Australian Into The Void single. On the vinyl edition of The Fragile, "The New Flesh" came immediately after "Complication" and before "I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally." Its most recognizable elements (the bassline, clock sounds, and synth whine) were used to form much of the menu music for the DVD version of And All That Could Have Been, in addition to those elements being combined with Pinion to form the DVD introduction.

Versions

The New Flesh

This is the original version.

The New Flesh (thingsfallingapart.com version)

Used as accompanying music for the official Things Falling Apart website, this short remix was released officially through remix.nin.com as a high quality MP3 in 2007. Also released in this fashion was another, untitled piece of music.

Complications of the Flesh

This remix, created by Danny Lohner, combines "The New Flesh" with "Complication" and appears exclusively on Part 3 of the We're In This Together single.

Live

Although the song has never been performed live in its entirety, instrumental portions were combined with "Pinion" to form a prerecorded introduction for the Fragility tour. Trent Reznor has sung the lyrics "Give it to me, I can take it!" at least once over top of the introduction.

Lyrics

    1
    I can take it
    Sideways
    Sometimes
    Some things
    Feel like
    I'm on the other side
    Waves
    Of every feeling ever felt
    ...screaming
    2     
    Hold it close
    (So) I can taste it
    3     
    I've watched this scene a thousand times
    And in my head
    This is how it all begins
    Yes, I am becoming
    And this is how it all begins
    What did you expect?
    This is not an exit
    This has begun
    4     
    I can almost see
    The blackest eyes
    The new flesh
    A new disguise
    ...Welcoming...
    
    Please
    5     
    Give it to me
    I can take it
    Give it to me
     
     I can take it.

Reznor also repeats an unprinted phrase through the coda of the song, which sounds like:

    I've become [alive]
