It contains a guitar riff intro which also appears in the chorus, not featured on the album version. ==Music Video==[[Image:Onlystill.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the "Only" video]]The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] for "Only" was direct directed by [[David Fincher]] and is largly was largely created using advanced CGIby visual effects company Digital Domain. It features a desk with a laptop(A 17" Mac PowerBook), speakers, and a variety cup of coffee, a [[wp:Newton'office toyss cradle|Newton' s cradle]] and a [[wp:Pin Art|Pin Art]] desk toy being brought to life an 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 Newton's cradle begins to sway to the beat as ripples appear in a cup of coffee. Reznor appears in the Pin Art, 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 Pin Art as the balls on the cradle sway almost uncontrollably. The ripples in the coffee also have greater frequency. The climax of the song dislodges the top-most apple in a nearby bowl, after which Reznor's impression walks off 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, with Reznor filmed live in front of a green screen and then mapped onto the Pin Art. It is reported that the only parts that were live-action were the hand at the very beginning (that of Fincher) and the bowl of apples at the end.=== Credits ===* Director: David Fincher* Production Company: Anonymous Content* Agency: [[Interscope Records]]* Visual Effects: Digital Domain** Eric Barba** Lisa Beroud** Jay Barton** Jim Gaczkowski=== Awards ===<!-- note: Digital Domain's page claims it won a D&AD aware for special effects but there is no mention of it on D&AD's site -->* [[wp:Visual Effects Society|Visual Effects Society]] [http://www.vesawards.com/history/4.html 4th Annual VES Awards (2005)]: Outstanding Visual Effects in a Music Video ==Reznor on the songwriting==<blockquote>"It's about the business. When you get on this path of trying to sell records it becomes about selling more records and playing bigger venues. It's like,'I'm friends with Tom Morello but Audioslave are releasing something on the same day as us and I must destroy him'. It's like, 'Wait a minute!' The goal has to be about making the best music possible or else it becomes something that will make you implode. Although, I'd rather have money than not because I know what not having it is like and not being able to pay the gas bill sucks. I feel lucky that I can do this but I constantly have to remind myself what the goal is. Should I say yes to that Microsoft commercial because I could use a new house? Or do I say no because this is something precious that would be tarnished if I did that? I find myself saying this to record labels and business manager guys,and they're like, 'You won't do what because of what?' My feelings were hurt when I heard David Bowie's 'Heroes' on a fucking Microsoft commercial. It's like 'Why? Fuck!'"</blockquote> ==Live=="Only" made its live debut on the [[2005/09/19_Phoenix,_AZ|third show]] of the [[With Teeth Fall Arena Tour]], and quickly became a setlist staple. This would continue for multiple tours, with "Only" appearing at most shows on the [[Performance 2007]] tour and almost every performance on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]]. "Only" was not performed on the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]], and would make sporadic appearances in the [[NIN 2013-2014|2013-2014]] and [[NIN 2017-2018|2017-2018 touring cycles]]. The song was played with live drums until 2014, when Ilan Rubin began playing bass while the band played to a backing track.

I'm becoming less defined, as As days go by Fading away, well (Well you might say ) 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 really matter anymore) No, it doesn't really matter anymoreAnymore

Yes, I am alone, but But then again I always was As far back as I can tell, I think maybe 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

Yes it did!

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 (x4) [Pt. 2] Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye

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

Now And now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be

And now Now I know why now, And now I know why Things aren't as pretty on On the inside

There is no fucking you, there is only me There is no you, there is only me There is no fucking youOnlyAdditional lyrics were printed in the ''With Teeth'' PDF booklet, but do not feature in the song, there is and are only meincluded in one of the multitrack sets: There is no fucking you, Is this really all there is only me? Is this really all there is? Only (x8)
