'''''Closer''''' is the fifth track on the 1994 release "''[[The Downward Spiral]]." '' It begins with an electronic beat that is reminiscent of a heartbeat for eight bars. A keyboard pattern and stxteenth-note beat join in along with the vocals. Layers are continuously added before dropping out at the end, leaving a simple chromatic piano melody to end the song.
"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."
