It is an instrumental trackat 55 BPM, and at 7:34 is the longest on the album. It is also the longest studio song by NIN (the second is "[[Memorabilia]]").
''Corona Radiata'' are several protective layers surrounding ova or unfertilized egg cells, responsible with supplying the ova or egg cell with protein. The artwork for the song most probably represents an egg cell with the distinct corona radiata surrounding it. This might be a lead in to some sort of impregnation with the [[Demon Seed]], perhaps implied by the red line. Another explanation for both the title and the image can be derived from the literal translation of "Corona Radiata", which is "Radiant Crown". Traditionally a crown of light is symbolic of many things including glory, enlightenment and deification, in regards to this track it is easily interpreted as being a halo (the track art being a broken halo) thus reflecting a fall from grace. The theme of light also ties well with both [[The Presence]] and the previous track "[[Lights In The Sky (song)|Lights In The Sky]]." Corona Radiata is also the bundle of white matter in the brain that is a pathway for information traveling to and from the cerebral cortex, where the brain processes one's conscious mind.
Curiously, the track overlaps from "Lights In The song begins with a calm Sky" and serene tone as if listening to the inside of a womb. Towards the endshares its tempo, drums and other effects fade in, almost like an assault from the outside. Finally, as but whether the song closes suddenly, overlapping screams from an infant and other effects tracks are heardsomehow related is possible but unknown.

This song has not been played live. Howevermay have made its debut at the 2008 South American shows, with "[[The Greater Good]]" lyrics whispered over it as it transitions into the droning music while the stage is set up for the second part of the show is commonly called pre-recorded "[[Pinion]]" and then "Corona Radiata[[Wish (song)|Wish]]." on setlistsIts synthesizer layers may also have been used to created a new, similar live introduction to how "[[Another Version 1,000,000]]" on the Australian dates of the Truth[[Wave Goodbye Tour]]" .
