"Terrible Lie" is often the opening song of Nine Inch Nails shows following an introduction, which may be "[[Now I'm Nothing]]" ([[Lollapalooza]] '91, [[Wave_Goodbye_Tour#NIN.2FJA_2009|NIN/JA 2009]]) or, often, a manipulated pre-recorded version of "[[Pinion]]." The live version typically omits the keyboard and bass harmony for the first half of the first chorus, a feature of the [[Terrible_Lie#Terrible_Lie_.28Sympathetic_Mix.29|Sympathetic mix]]. The ending of the song is extended when performed live and is often concluded with Reznor screaming "you promised me," followed by a brief sample of the words "will you forgive me?" heard clearly in [http://www.4shared.com/file/101153106/9c4183de/forgiveme_sample_shallowgrave.html this] example (from the bootleg Shallow Grave). The variation performed on the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]] is mostly the same as the version introduced during [[Live: With Teeth]]. However, as the live band is now only 4 members, all synthesizer parts are absent, leaving only loud guitar riffs (this is most noticeable in the chorus, and right before the outro where there is usually a 'hammer-synth' countermelody played over the chorus progression). From time Due to timethe hectic nature of the song, the band has been known to end will often destroy instruments and/or the stage during the song with some good old fashioned instrument destruction. This can be seen in the 1989-1991 footage that was added as an appendage to the "DVD" version of ''[[Closure]]''.
During the [[Live: With Teeth]] tours, [[Aaron North]] plays a short solo during the last few moments of the song. This is a short, three note repeating solo.
