===Sunspots===
This is the original album version. Driven throughout by consistent drum and bass parts, [[Trent Reznor]]'s layered vocals and muted guitars soon join. The higher, melodic verses are followed by lower pitched vocals in the pre-choruses, then higher again as the choruses are sung in falsetto. The choruses also feature a different chord progression played by bass and distorted guitars, similar to the choruses of "[[Love Is Not Enough]]." The second chorus and following bridge also feature a synthesizer lead that sounds very similar to a blender, perhaps the song's most notable characteristic. The song ends after two repeated choruses with different lyrics and 16 bars of the verse bassline and drums, which stop together just as they began.
===Sunspots (Instrumental)===
Released exclusively through Apple Music.
==Live==
"Sunspots" has [[NIN songs never played live|has never been performed live]], mostly perhaps due to [[Trent Reznor]]'s fear of straining his voice too much. It However, it has, however been performed at a soundchecksoundchecks and rehearsals with vocals. One of those soundchecks can be heard [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkdJfF8BOo here]. Starting in 2013, albeit without vocals"Sunspots" was interpolated into the outro of "[[Sanctified]]" by [[Alessandro Cortini]].
== Lyrics ==
Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes
Sometimes I forget I’m I'm alive I feel it coming and I’ve I've got to get out of its way I hear it calling and I come cause I can’t can't disobey I should not listen and I shouldn’t shouldn't believe but I do
Yes I do
My life it seems has taken a turn
Why in the name of God would I ever want to return?
Peel off our skin we’re we're gonna burn what we were to the ground Fuck in the fire and we’ll we'll spread all the ashes around I want to kill away the rest of what’s what's left and I do
Yes I do
And nothing can stop me now
And there is nothing to fear
And everything I’d I'd ever want
Is inside of here
I think I used to be someone
Now I just stare into the sun
