"Non Entity" is a song that Trent Reznor composed for the MTV program React Now in an effort to support people displaced by hurricane Katrina in August of 2005.


This song was first played in the aforementioned program, and later became part of the set list in the With Teeth tours. The tours also included "Not So Pretty Now," another song from the With Teeth outtakes. During a chat with fans in the official NIN fan club, The Spiral, Reznor stated that these songs were outtakes from the With Teeth sessions, and studio recordings of them might one day surface. A live recording of "Non-Entity" appears on Beside You In Time. [1]

Lyrics

  The sky is not the same shade of blue
  Every single thing I believe isn’t true
  Missing in the maze of monochrome
  How did I get here, how can I go home
  
  The echoes in my eyes, of all they used to see
  Burning down the world, the ashes and debris
  And all that’s left to me, non-entity…
  
  Try to stand the line, try to obey
  The ghost of what I was keep getting in the way
  Staring at the sun, I’m blinded by the light
  Now I’m afraid I’m fading out of sight
  
  The echoes in my eyes, of all they used to see
  Burning down the world, the ashes and debris
  And all that’s left of you, and all that’s left of me
  All have washed away, non-entity...
