"Burning Bright (Field On Fire)" is the fifth track on the 2016 EP Not The Actual Events. The song features Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction on guitar. It is worth noting that the final line, "I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore," is also the final line of "We Fade Away" by How To Destroy Angels, with the omission of the words "seem to".

Versions

Burning Bright (Field On Fire)

This is the only known version.

Live

"Burning Bright (Field On Fire)" made its live debut at the first show of the I Can't Seem To Wake Up 2017 tour.

Music Video

Frame from the music video

A low-concept music video, much like the one for "God Break Down The Door", was posted to the official Nine Inch Nails YouTube account. The audio is simply accompanied by rapidly shifting, choppy black and white static.

Lyrics

   I'm going back
   Of course I am
   As if I ever had a choice
   Back to what I always knew I was
   On the inside
   Back to what I really am
   Look at this pathetic place I made
   With little bits of sticks and hair
   And anything I found along the way
   And tell yourself, you know?
   You're not really what you know you are
   You know?
   Of course you do
   I think I may have even listened to you
   I think I may have even listened to you
   At the height of my demise
   
   Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe…
   Break through the surface and breathe
   
   I am forgiven
   I am free
   I am a field on fire
   
   And oh my God, I have missed you
   It has been so long
   And I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline
   I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline
   For now I know, now I know, now I know for certain
   Now I know for certain
   Oh, burn motherfucker
   Carry the carcass and throw it on
   Pull up a chair and watch
   The flies come roaring out
   And will surround the entire world
   And blacken out the sky and every last one of you
   Like a plague of locusts
   Like an exit
   Like an end
   Like an end
   Like an end
   Like the end
   
   Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe…
   Break through the surface and breathe
   
   I am forgiven
   I am free
   I am a field on fire
   
   I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore

Additional lyrics printed on the physical component include:

   Now I know for certain
   Shedding any
   Burn motherfucker
   Like an end
   Like an end
   Like the fucking end
   Like the end
   It's getting hard to know which side is the dream
