Versions
Underneath It All
This is the only available version. A unique track in the NIN canon, its instrumentation is unlike anything else in the band's catalog, much like its preceding track, "The Big Come Down," after which Underneath It All immediately begins with a quiet beat and scratchy synthesizer melody. These are soon built upon by a stuttering, noisy rhythm loop, on top of which Trent Reznor sings lyrics and melodies related to those of its sister track, "The Great Below." Distorted guitars and synthesizers soon enter and build to a climax, after which the final lines are sung a capella, but are distorted, equalized, and washed in delay.
Live
This song has never been performed live.
Lyrics
All I do I can still feel you Numb all through I can still feel you Hear your call Underneath it all Kill my brain Yet you still remain Crucified After all I've died After all I've tried You are still inside All I do I can still feel you You remain I am stained
