About
In an interview with Zane Lowe [1], Trent Reznor explained the song's unusual style:
"We find if we don’t watch ourselves we tend to try to get somewhere comfortable, because it feels better. And from the sound of the drums to the kind of frantic drumbeat to looking around the studio and seeing the untouched baritone, tenor and alto sax that are sitting there. They’re there because they remind me that I can’t play them as well as I used to be able to. For 20 years, I’ve been saying I’m going to really get my technique back because it would be fun to do. And there they sit taunting me in the corner. We pulled them out and we just started fucking around really, led with Atticus [Ross] arranging. I was just kind of going, an hour performance kind of turned into this thing that felt like we hadn’t been there before and that started to reveal a whole different character. The space changed and then we felt motivated. When it came time to sing I was really just trying things out, just to see. I never had the courage to sing like that, I didn’t know I could sing like that."

We are a treacherous people As night falls down again In this house of dust The shades are drawn in All of the thousands of rooms We sleep hypnotized from the center Yes in this new place we call home Is there anybody but you sitting in the dark Wondering if you'll remove my skin Not so different after all Remove the pain or push it back in Maybe not so different after all That kind of thing just doesn’t happen here I didn’t think that could happen around here I didn’t think that could happen to me Can you see what is happening Pull it out, and push it back see, I’m not from this world not anymore Not me and I’ve come to believe that’s OK I know who I am yes, I believe I am sleeping after all
