Versions

Parasite

This is the original version. Beginning with a building guitar noise, thick drums soon come in, followed by more discordant guitar screeches. All the guitars soon stop and the drums and a synth bass are left to play behind Trent Reznor's and Maandig's quiet singing.

Parasite (Instrumental)

From a CD-R promo of the EP, released by The Null Corporation.

Live

"Parasite" was performed live on the How To Destroy Angels Live 2013 tour.

It was covered by Nine Inch Nails with Mariqueen Maandig during the NIN + QOTSA Tour, and without Maandig during the NIN 2017-2018 tour. It was then performed as a remixed/mash-up version in collaboration with Boys Noize on the Peel It Back Tour, using Boys Noize's song "Xpress Yourself" as the base.

Lyrics

   Yes, I can feel you
   Yes, I believe
   Yes, you can have me
   Yes, I can breathe

   Parasite

   Yes, now I need you
   Yes, you are mine
   Yes, you have shown me
   Yes, you define
 
   Parasite
