The song's accompanying artwork appears to represent a person committing suicide by firing a gun through the back of their mouth, a figure facing the left with their head bent down, or a glass being poured out to its right.
[[Multitracks]] for this song (and all others from ''The Slip'') were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV format] via [[remix.nin.com]].

===Head Down===
This is the original album version. The song is stylistically split into two parts. The verses consist of an abusive diatribe, taking the listener to task for their weaknesses and compelling them to submit to authority. The chorus, perhaps representing the response of the berated protagonist, finds the singer questioning the reality of his situation and expressing a wish to escape. The sections are sharply different musically as well, with the verses shouted over a harsh, bending guitar riff and drum loop, while the chorus section features more melodic singing and clean guitar strumming. The final, instrumental chorus section transitions suddenly into a quiet, filtered coda, which decays into low bass tones. "[[Lights In The Sky (song)|Lights in the In The Sky]]" soon follows.
