"Survivalism" is the third NIN song to be officially released as source files—"[[Only (song)|Only]]" and "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]" were previously released. ===Song Credits===*Production: [[Trent Reznor]], [[Atticus Ross]]*Mix: [[Alan Moulder]]*Backing vocals: [[Saul Williams]] ==Title meaning==Survivalism is the belief that one must be prepared to survive a major catastrophe by stocking up on food and weapons. A survivalist therefore is a person who anticipates and prepares for a future disruption in local, regional or worldwide social or political order. Survivalists often prepare for this anticipated disruption by learning skills (e.g., emergency medical training), stockpiling food and water, or building structures that will help them to survive (e.g., an underground shelter). ==Appearances=====Halos===*''[[Survivalism (halo)|Survivalism]]''*''Year Zero''*''[[Capital G (halo)|Capital G]]''*''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]]'' ===Seeds===*''[[The Definitive NIN - Heavy Tracks]]'' ===Promos===* ''Survivalism'' ===Other===*''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]'' - online playlist(s); not on original Seed release* ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'': Season 7 : Living Doll (05/17/07)[http://www.tunefind.com/artist/Nine+Inch+Nails] ==Versions=====Survivalism===Found on ''Year Zero'' as well as the ''Survivalism'' single and promo. Characterized by much synthetic layering and a consistent eighth note drum machine pulse, matched by a single note bass riff that begins on the second eighth and ends on the eighth before repeating. This gives the song an apparent metric shift one eighth note forward, though the first downbeat of each measure is actually in the space between the stop and start of the bass and guitar riff. The chorus features many layers of group vocals, including some by Saul Williams. After the final chorus, a new guitar riff leads off a coda that builds in layers of drones until suddenly stopping and leading into "[[The Good Soldier]]."

=== Halos Survivalism (Radio Edit)===A radio-friendly edited version that is found on the ''Survivalism'' promo. The word "whore" is edited out.

== Versions =Survivalism_OpalHeartClinic_Niggy_Tardust!(Escaped...===Available on the UK 9" Vinyl ''Survivalism'' single. This remix, also by Williams, features him incorporating new lyrics into the verses and delivering them with more of a spoken word/hip-hop flow. Reznor's vocals become backing vocals on this track, allowing Williams to come to the front. The music is very similar to that used in the "Tardusted" version. The new lyrics sung by Williams are as follows: Wanted to cap somebody Wanted to buck em' down Wanted to pull the trigger Just to hear the fucking sound I got my propaganda I get my cable free I hang it from my neck And go to work from tree to tree It's gotta be the poison They're putting in my food It takes me by the brain And marks me to my every move I try to change the channel The channel's changing me I take the cup and prop it up Before I start to pee I stumble from the toilet I'm sprawled across the floor I feel my head expand Beyond the room Beyond the door I'm in an oval office In an electric chair I sign my name Beneath the claim That I don't really care I got survivalism You've got my claim to fame I got the right to say I'm fighting under Jesus' name I see the .45's But I wont act surprised Lost my faith along the way And found myself believing your lies

=== Survivalism The spoken word rhythm of this remix has a strong resemblance to Williams' song "P.G." from ''[[wp:Saul Williams (LP Versionalbum) ===|Saul Williams]]''.

Found on the [[Year Zero (halo)|Year Zero]] album as well as the [[===Survivalism (promoDave Sitek Mix)|Survivalism]] promo.==='''''Running Time: 4:31'''''

=== Survivalism David Andrew Sitek is member of [[TV On The Radio]], who opened for [[Nine Inch Nails]] during the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour. This remix was originally available as a UK-only iTunes download. It came as a free bonus track packaged with the full album download of ''Year Zero.'' It is alternatively available on the [[Capital G (Edithalo) ===|''Capital G'' single]]. It is akin to the original song sound-wise, but features a heavier and more plodding drum line. Additionally, it enhances Williams' back up vocals and makes them more prominent than in the original. The structure and length of the song remains relatively unchanged.
