Release
The artwork for the single was originally posted to the band's Tumblr blog on October 2nd, albeit with no indication that it was any kind of single artwork, as it reflected the general style of promotional art created for the EP. On October 4th, a page for the track was created on Amazon US and it was released on October 9th.
The song premiered a day before its digital release date on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show in an interview with Trent Reznor, and was subsequently released in streaming form on Pitchfork, Soundcloud, Tumblr and YouTube.
On October 18th, the first ever official remix for HTDA was released via Soundcloud[1], with a free download available. Remixer Dave Sitek described the track as "A chance to be pushed through the veins and swarm the heart, saddled to this strange drug music … a wild trip…. I was lucky to be asked.”[2]
A physical version of the single on 12" vinyl is to be packaged with An Omen EP for anyone who buys directly from the HTDA website[3].

Performance video
A second video was released November 1st, and shows the full band (including Rob Sheridan, formerly only art director, on modular synthesizer) performing the song in studio.

Lyrics
NOTE: THESE LYRICS ARE TRANSCRIBED BY EAR AND MAY BE INCORRECT
I feel the skin that separates us start to fade And when I lie on top of you, I'm afraid I can see right through myself, crystal clear I am disassembling I could disappear, disappear There is a voice inside of me, I don't know And all his words keep echoing a tremolo I've been waiting for a sign to appear He has a message waiting for me But I don't wanna hear I promise I swear I can't I can't keep it together
