"'''Me, I'm Not'''" is the sixth track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]]''. ===Leak=Trent Reznor on sounding like KMFDM==At the February 19th, 2007 A forum user said on [[Nine Inch Nails |Nine Inch NailsThe Spiral]] concert in Barcelona, Spain, a second plain-looking USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall. This drive had two MP3 files: one called and [[2432.mp3ETS]] and the other "Me, I'm Not".:

 ===Trent Reznor on sounding like KMFDM===snaapz said on [[The Spiral]] and [[ETS]]::''<blockquote>Play Me, Im not.<br>:''Then play 03 - You're No Good - KMFDM - Hau Ruck<br>:''Exact same bass line ... and sounds the same<br>:''Its kmfdm revamped .. nothing new ...<br>:''(kind of)<br><br>:''again ...<br>:''ITS STOLEN FROM KMFDM -<br>:''but KMFDMs version is better ...<br>:''You're no good - Hau Ruck</blockquote>

:''<blockquote>You: go fuck yourself. Now. The day I steal something from KMFD-Fucking-M is a sad fucking day indeed. Call up Sasha and have him sue me if you feel that strongly about it, meanwhile let everyone have some goddamned fun without you pissing on the parade. ===Spectrograph===A fingerprint was found in a spectrograph analysis during the word 'tell' in the line "and its hard to tell" at exactly 1 minute and 4 seconds into the song.  [[Media:Meimnotfingerprint.jpg]]</blockquote>

This is the only known original album version . Highly repetitive, it features a consistent drum loop and manipulated bass riff throughout. On top are layered various synthesizers and samples in addition to Reznor's vocals, which are mostly sung in his lower range, sometimes nearly whispered. ===Me, I'm Not (Instrumental)==='''''Running Time: 4:56''''' This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Reznor through his remix.nin.com account.  ===Me, I'm Not: Olof Dreijer==='''''Running Time: 14:00''''' This remix is on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' Coming in at over 14 minutes long, it's the present momentlongest [[Nine Inch Nails]] remix to be officially released. Very different from the album original, it begins with a simple beat and synth melody, over which a high-pitched droning sound element is added. This sound invokes similarities to the instrumental melody within the original song's chorus. The sound is a lot like a wave, cresting and receding. Soon, a basic percussion beat comes in on top of these sounds. At around 4 minutes in, the higher sound drops out, and finger-snap percussion joins in shortly thereafter. A hi-hat beat joins in and another beat comes in. At around 5:25 the higher sound begins to creep in and whispered vocals ("I'm not used to this") come in and out through this portion of the song. A lower synth melody comes in almost halfway through as the higher part again disappears momentarily. The higher sounds return as vocals appear sporadically in this sequence. Once again, a wave-like pattern is invoked in the sound elements dominating this piece. Past the 9-minute mark, the lyrics "I define myself/By how well I hide" and "What I know right now" are clearly audible through the rest of the sounds. The finale contains several sound elements emerging and fading away in a repeated cycle before fading out altogether. ====Song Credits====*Remix and additional production by Olof Dreijer*Olof Dreijer is represented by DEF Ltd.:*info@d-e-f.com ==Live=="Me, I'm Not" was first played live on [[2007/05/09 Sydney, Australia|May 9, 2007]] at Luna Park in Sydney, Australia, and remained a regular for the rest of the [[Performance 2007]] tour. Reznor and [[Alessandro Cortini]] both play keyboards and synths on this song, with a computer hooked up to Reznor's machine. In the song's first live performances, Reznor played slide guitar but it was played by [[Aaron North]] in subsequent performances. [[Josh Freese]] and [[Jeordie White]] did not play on this song live. Throughout the [[Lights in the Sky Tour]], "Me, I'm Not" was occasionally played before the "Ghosts" section of the setlist, played alongside (or replaced with) "[[Vessel]]", "[[The Warning]]", or "[[The Great Destroyer]]". "Me, I'm Not" was played once in 2009, at [[2009/09/10 Los Angeles, CA|the final show]] of the Wave Goodbye Tour. The song was a regular on some legs of the [[NIN 2013-2014|''Hesitation Marks'' touring cycle]], including opening the show at several dates. It would continue to be played occasionally throughout the [[Cold And Black And Infinite Tour]] in 2018 and the U.S./U.K. [[NIN 2022|2022 tour]].

Well And it's happening

You've got something I need

What you want from me?

And it's hard to telltell—just Just where Where it's coming from

And it's hard to believebelieve—just Just, what What I've become

Hey, can we stop Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop (C'mon) Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop (Yeah) Me, I'm not Hey, can Can we stop?
