The Downward Spiral is often referred to as the final part of The Downward Spiral's story in which the main character kills himself with a gun. The intro to the song contains a chromatic melody very reminiscent of the ending of "Closer" but it is in E Major rather than C Major.

Lyrics

    He couldn’t believe how easy it was
    He put the gun into his face
    Bang!
    (So much blood for such a tiny little hole)
    
    Problems do have solutions, you know
    A lifetime of fucking things up is fixed
    In one determined flash...
    
    Everything’s blue
    In this world
    The deepest shade of mushroom blue
    All fuzzy
    Spilling out of my head
