"Closer" is perhaps the most well-known song from Nine Inch Nails, maybe moreso for its video. The subject matter is clearly about sex, but it's not just sex. Instead it's a feeling of worthlessness and trying to quell that feeling through sex. The song was at the number 2 position on AOL's "69 Sexiest Songs of All Time," mostly due to the frankness of the chorus of "I want to fuck you like an animal/I want to feel you from the inside."

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
