Why? I didn't do anything to the space before the lyric! --[[User:Wizfan|Wizfan]], the [[User_talk:Wizfan|man who erased the capital H]] 06:54, 10 December 2007 (PST)
== Last two lines of the lyrics ==
Do the last two lines of the lyrics really appear on the studio version? ("Hey God, I really don't know who I am in this world of piss.") I listened to its flac-lossless-files several times with earphones and didn't notice anything like that. I'm just wondering because normally words like "piss" are pretty well audible because of the hard "p" and the "s".
:I believe they were in the initial lyrics but didn't make the final cut of the song.--[[User:Leo3375|leo3375]] 20:37, 4 April 2009 (PDT)
:So why don't make an extra note like on the lyrics of The Greater Good or Demon Seed?--[[User:RickLip|RickLip]]

==Meaning==
The song is about having a belief in God while wondering about all the suffering (mostly personal/internal suffering) that one goes through in life, about wanting to believe and wanting to be hopeful but being constantly proved wrong by events in one's life. Its "everyman" subject matter and distinct melody make it one of [[Nine Inch Nails]]' better known songs and a staple of the live concerts. - [[User:GrayscaleRain|GrayscaleRain]] 01:48, 17 February 2007
