"'''Me, I'm Not'''" is the sixth track [[Trent Reznor]] replied on the 2007 release ''[[Year ZeroThe Spiral]]'':<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.</blockquote>

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: saul williams, which are mostly sung in his lower range, sometimes nearly whispered.

:This remix is on ''again Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D...:''ITS STOLEN FROM KMFDM Coming in at over 14 minutes long, it's the longest [[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''but KMFDMs version s chorus. The sound is better 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''You're no good 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- Hau Ruckminute 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.

Reznor and [[Alessandro Cortini]] both play keyboards and synths on this song, with a computer hooked up to Reznor'tells machine. In the song' s first live performances, Reznor played slide guitar but it was played by [[Aaron North]] in the line "subsequent performances. [[Josh Freese]] and its hard to tell" at exactly 1 minute and 4 seconds into the [[Jeordie White]] did not play on this songlive.

and And it's happening never Never planned on this you You got something i I need kind Kind of dangerous and iAnd I'm losing control iI'm not used to this what What you want from me? iI'm not used to this canCan't seem to shut it off this This thing iI've begun and And it's hard to tell - justtell—just where Where it's coming from and And it's hard to see what iWhat I'm capable of and And it's hard to believe - justbelieve—just what iWhat I've become
heyHey can Can we stop? meMe, iI'm not
i I can swallow it down keep Keep it all inside i I define myself by By how well i I hide feel Feel it coming apart well Well at least i I tried i I can win this war by By knowing not to fight if i If I take it all back some Some way somehow if i If I knew back then what i What I know right now
heyHey can Can we stop? meMe, iI'm not The ninth line of the first verse was shortened in the actual recording: I can't shut it off Y0 booklet page==External Links==*[http://vimeo.com/3489443 "Me, I'm Not" live in Europe, August 2007]*[https: 9//www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu59-bYqY-8 "Me, I'm Not" 2013 live visual design by Rob Sheridan]
