===Discipline(Album version)===This 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. The version on ''The Slip'' is 4:19 and starts to fade out at the end, but then abruptly cuts off as it segues into "[[Echoplex]]". ===Discipline (MP3 download version)===The original download single version is 4:29 in length and continues for a little more than one extra phrase longer than the album version before fading out completely. ===Discipline (Erroneous high-res version)===The original, [[The_Slip#Errata|erroneous high-res WAV download release of ''The Slip'']] contains an even longer 4:34 version of "Discipline" that continues for another phrase beyond the MP3 single version before fading out. ===Discipline (Multitrack combined version)===The version that can be created from separate [[multitracks]] is 5:08 when combined and does not fade out. Instead, the outro continues for an additional three phrases beyond the erroneous high-res version before coming to an actual song ending. ===Discipline (Live At Rehearsals)===This version of the songwas filmed and recorded in the band's rehearsal space in mid 2008 and directed by [[Rob Sheridan]]. It features on ''The Slip'', on a DVD of rehearsal footage. Its ending is the same as the multitrack combined version, but shorter. ==Live==This song made its live debut at the [[2008/07/19 Los Angeles, CA|dress rehearsal show]] of the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]]. It was a staple that year and remained a feature throughout the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]] the following year, but did not return until 2022. There are no significant changes from the album version, save an extended outro.
