Changes

}}'''"Kinda I Want To"''' is the sixth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]],'' and has ties to lust, though it's unclear exactly what the speaker wants to do or whom they want to do it with. Notably hard to write, [[Trent Reznor]] has always been very unsatisified expressed dissatisfaction with the song [https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/display/555] and thinks it's by far the worst song he's ever done. He has also stated it's the one song he will not play live anymore, though as with anything, this is subject to change. The song references "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" by quoting its beat and drum patch during the bridge.

Beginning with what sounds like garbled cries, the sixth track on ''Pretty Hate Machine'' is perhaps the most solely beat driven song on the album, lacking a clear melody and utilizing a lot of samples and loops (similar to ''[[Year Zero]]'').

The song's arrangement is completely different in structure though the lyrics are the same with as the final version, but feature an additional bridge in the middle where wherein Reznor repeats the line "Why does it have to be this way?" over and over while , harmonizing with himself. The ending also features a rapidly strumming spanish acoustic guitar sound , before the entire song fades into quiet synths. The ascending synth melody that runs through the final third of the track is very similar to that used in the one heard during the bridge of "[[Into The BecomingVoid]]" off of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]],'' before the entire song fades into soft synths.

The song was only played live on the ''Pretty Hate Machine'' promotional tour and, according to Reznor, is unlikely to be played again.

The parenthetical portion of the last line appears only in the liner notes and the ''Purest Feeling'' version. The first line in the second verse is changed in the final recording, to be
