===Meaning===
Like most NIN songs, the true inspiration for the lyrics has never been revealed. The lyrics suggest that this song is about internal identity struggles, possibly relating to split personalities. Themes in this song are similar to the film "''Fight Club", '' which was directed by [[David Fincher]], who directed the music video for this song.
===Down In It===
"Only " contains a verse that is very similar to a verse in the 1989 song "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]. "

==Music Video==
The video for "Only" was direct directed by [[David Fincher]] and is largly created using advanced CGI. It features a desk with a laptop(A 17" Mac PowerBook), speakers, and a variety of 'office toysan Einstein' s Cradle and PinPressions being brought to life and animated by the music. The video starts with a hand pressing the space bar on the computer, which starts its music program (iTunes with the Visualizer turned on). The Einstein's Cradle begins to sawy to the beat as ripples appear in a cup of coffee. [[Trent Reznor]] appears in the PinPressions, singing the song. As it gets to the second verse, the songs builds and the vibrations get more intense. Reznor seems to almost break out of the PinPressions as the balls on the Einstein's Cradle sway almost uncontrollably. The ripples in the coffee also have greater frequency. Finally an apple falls out of a neaby basket as Reznor disappears and the scene dies down. At the very end, a blurry image of a car can be seen driving away. The video was almost entirely computer-animated. It is reported that the only part that was live-action ws the hand at the very beginning of the video.
==Lyrics==
I'm I’m becoming less defined, as As days go by Fading away, well you (You might say I'm ) I’m losing focus Kind of drifting into the abstract in In terms of how I see myself Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself Sometimes, I can see right through myself
Less concerned, about fitting into the world Your world , that is, cause it doesn't really matter anymore (No, Because it doesn't doesn’t really matter anymore) No, it doesn't really matter anymoreAnymore
None of this really matters anymore
Yes, I am alone, but But then again I always was As far back as I can tell, I think maybe it's it’s because Because you were never really real to begin with I just made you up to hurt myself I just made you up to To hurt myself Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself I just made you up to hurt myself Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked
Yes it did!  There is no you There is only me There is no fucking you There is only me Only
There is no you, there is only me There is no you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me Only (x4) [Pt. 2] Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone And I kept picking at that scab It Like it was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through
Now And now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be
And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see
And now Now I know why now, And now I know why Things aren't as pretty on On the inside
There is no you, there is only me There is no you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me There is no fucking you, there is only me Only Only (x8)
