Revision as of 04:03, 18 February 2007
This song is number seven from the second former album, The Downwad Spiral. Its made from many loops of industrial sounds. This song shows the hard sound from "TDS".
The lyrics of the song are about a man who is fighting against himself trying to avoid his "becoming", transforming him into a machine without the human's characteristics and mostly feelings.
An acoustic version can be found in the second disc of the And All That Could Have Been release.
Lyrics
I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming The me that you know he had some second thoughts He's covered with scabs he is broken and sore The me that you know he doesn't come around much That part of me isn't here anymore All pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry Drowns out all I hear no escape from this my new consciousness The me that you know he used to have feelings But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay The me that you know is now made up of wires And even when I'm right with you I'm so far away I can try to get away but I've strapped myself in I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears I can see it killing away all of my bad parts I don't want to listen but it's all to clear Hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away It wont give up it wants me dead Goddamn this noise inside my head
