The image associated with this song appears to be a four part image of a square becoming more complete or "growing," much like the lyrics portray something growing inside of the narrator. It should also be noted that the red lines seen in the previous pictures are all over, as if they have exploded out of control. This is In a Patreon Q&A session[https://www.patreon.com/posts/rob-sheridan-ama-34278427], [[Rob Sheridan]] was asked about the only song from art for "Demon Seed" and he explained that it was "the album end of the journey of the red line that has moved through the different sections artwork of that record, trying to make sense of the song numberedrigid forms, sometimes fighting them, perhaps pointing out cycles or phasesbefore finally overtaking them. Also, similar It was Trent's idea to "The Greater Good", there are lyrics provided that are not included have the line take over 'Demon Seed' so completely/aggressively.

This is the original album version.Very similar in structure to the preceding piece, "[[The Four Of Us Are Dying]]," it begins with drum loops, building with layers of synthesized bass and guitar. Reznor's vocals are scattered and manipulated throughout the song, which transitions suddenly into a quieter, ambient bridge. Distant echoes of vocals, riffs, and drums from the first section are manipulated in brief, eventually leading into a final section with Reznor's count-in. Climaxing with the return of the drum loops and layers of distorted synthesizers, it soon strips layers away piece by piece, ending itself and the album suddenly following the repeated whispers of "There is a seed/Inside of me."
