'''"Discipline"''' is a single from [[Nine Inch Nails]] and also the fourth track on ''[[The Slip]]''. It contains a beat reminiscent of "[[Only (song)|Only]]" from ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'', and its lyrics seem to have a sado-masochistic overtone.
 
It is the first radio single from NIN since becoming an independent recording act, following their final release under a major record label, 2007's ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]]''. Due to the advertisement and short notice of the release, the song was posted on YouTube almost immediately after release. The [[Multitracks|multitrack files]] for this track were released at [[Remix.nin.com|remix.nin.com]].
 
==About==
The song was released to radio stations simultaneously around 2:30pm EST on April 22, 2008, being mastered only the day before, and was then made available as a free download via discipline.nin.com, which eventually redirected to [[theslip.nin.com]]. When downloaded, it comes with track art and a note found in the comments box of the song info saying "Go to [[nin.com|www.nin.com]] on May 5", which was the release date of the then-unannounced album ''The Slip''. The lyrics are also contained.
 
==Track artwork==
[[image:discipline.jpg|thumb|''Discipline Track Art'']]
The track art resembles a lowercase 'd'. It also resembles a person sitting with their knees drawn up to their chest, facing to the left. Lastly, the shape also resembles the portion of the [[Media:800x600.jpg|Art is Resistance logo]] that contains the star. For the physical release booklet, the red line on the "Discipline" artwork continues over to the opposite lyrics page crossing over the phrase "I cannot help myself".

==Versions==
===Discipline (Album version)===
The track opens with a disco style drum pattern, followed by a heavily distorted synth bass. [[Trent Reznor]]'s vocals enter and the instrumentation remains generally the same until the second verse, when a bass guitar is used alternately with the synth bass and a piano melody enters. For the bridge, the drum pattern becomes more minimal and is accompanied only by the piano and some undistorted synth bass notes as Reznor's vocal gradually returns with a different lyrical section. The full instrumentation returns and the song continues this way until it fades out.

am i Am I still tough enough? feels Feels like i’m I’m wearing down is Is my viciousness losing Losing ground? am i Am I taking too much did i Did I cross a line i I need my role in this very Very clearly defined i I need your discipline i I need your help i I need your discipline you You know once i I start i I cannot help myself and And now it's starting up feels like iI'm losing touch nothing Nothing matters to me nothing Nothing matters as much i I see you left a mark up Up and down my skin i I don't know where I end and And where you begin i I need your discipline i I need your help i I need your discipline you You know once i I start i I cannot help myself once i Once I start i I cannot stop myself
