==Versions==
===We're In This Together===
This is the original album version, found on ''The Fragile'', yellow and green discs of ''We're In This Together'' and Australian ''Into The Void.'' . Beginning out of the ending of "[[The Wretched]]" with a machine-like, rhythmic sound collage, it builds in volume and intensity but stops to introduce the main rhythmic thrust of the song, a distorted and staccato guitar riff that runs through all of the verses. After the drums and wah guitar enter, Reznor begins yelling the first verse abrasively. The chorus is driven by loud, distorted and constant guitars and live drums accompanying more melodic and higher-pitched yelling by Reznor. After a second verse and chorus, a driving bridge featuring a wah guitar solo and walls of fluent guitars leads into a final chorus. A descending guitar riff from this chorus continues through the mellow coda of the song, a section which also shares the three-note motif used in "[[The Great Below]]" and the piano motif of "[[La Mer]]"." It eventually gives way to the opening e-bow guitar line of "[[The Fragile (song)|The Fragile]]"." On the vinyl version, the segue from "The Wretched" (in the beginning) is removed; on the singles, the song is completely cropped from segues at the beginning and ending. An alternate version of the introduction was indexed separately and titled "[[Missing Places]]" on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1.''
===We're In This Together (Instrumental) (Apple Music)===
The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video]] for this song first aired in 1999, and was directed by Mark Pellington. It shows Trent Reznor and an army of black-clad people running frantically through empty buildings, streets, and eventually a desolate field where everyone except Reznor had disappeared. The video was filmed on location in Guadalajara, Mexico. Two different edits of the video were made: the version released to video outlets, and an extended version edited by Mark Pellington. The extended version, clocking in at nearly 8 minutes, also features an extended intro unique to the video.
On the meaning of the music video, Reznor states in the aforementioned ''VIVA 2 '' interview:
<blockquote>When I came to do the video for it I tried to make the song uglier than it would have been if you just heard it and the idea of a tragedy or situation where everything is happening too fast, you're not aware of where you're at until it's too late and you might be caught up in something you're not sure about but you're blindly embracing this comfort of security, that was the global idea for that.</blockquote>
