Talk:You Know What You Are? (view source)

Dave Grohl actually uses his tom-toms (hi-mid one or his floor one) in the drumming, not a double bass pedal. He has said on numerous occasions that he never has used those pedals and never will. Also, if you watch "Beside You In Time", you can see Josh Freese using the tom-toms when he is perfectly capable of achieving that kind of speed with a double bass pedal. Just saying. I'm a bit of a Dave Grohl fanboy, so I apologize. [[User:Doomguy13|doomguy13]]

==Interpretation==
The lyrics of the song appear to be commenting on a person's inability to change for the better, evident in lyrics such as "You can dress it all up you can try to pretend/But you can't change anything in the end." and "Don't you fucking know what you are?/Go on get back to where you belong." Many interpretions of this song often overlook the possibility that the "you" to which [[Trent Reznor]] refers, may in fact be himself. - [[User:Disrepair|Disrepair]] 21:50, 2 April 2007
