Leak
At the February 19th, 2007 Nine Inch Nails concert in Barcelona, Spain, a second plain-looking USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall. This drive had two MP3 files: one called 2432.mp3 and the other "Me, I'm Not."
Trent Reznor on sounding like KMFDM
snaapz said on The Spiral and ETS:
- Play Me, Im not.
- Then play 03 - You're No Good - KMFDM - Hau Ruck
- Exact same bass line ... and sounds the same
- Its kmfdm revamped .. nothing new ...
- (kind of)
- again ...
- ITS STOLEN FROM KMFDM -
- but KMFDMs version is better ...
- You're no good - Hau Ruck
Trent Reznor replied on The Spiral:
- You: go fuck yourself. Now. The day I steal something from KMFD-Fucking-M is a sad fucking day indeed. Call up Sasha and have him sue me if you feel that strongly about it, meanwhile let everyone have some goddamned fun without you pissing on the parade.
Spectrograph
A fingerprint was found in a spectrograph analysis during the word 'tell' in the line "and its hard to tell" at exactly 1 minute and 4 seconds into the song.

Lyrics
And it's happening Never planned on this You got something I need Kind of dangerous And I'm losing control I'm not used to this What you want from me? I'm not used to this Can't seem to shut it off This thing I've begun And it's hard to tell—just Where it's coming from And it's hard to see What I'm capable of And it's hard to believe—just What I've become Hey Can we stop? Me, I'm not I can swallow it down Keep it all inside I define myself By how well I hide I feel it coming apart Well at least I tried I can win this war By knowing not to fight If I take it all back Some way somehow If I knew back then What I know right now Hey Can we stop? Me, I'm not
The ninth line of the first verse was shortened in the actual recording:
I can't shut it off
