===The Line Begins To Blur===
This is the original album version. Dave Grohl's live drums and loud, distorted bass begin the song, its rhythmic stomp augmented by distortion loops that give the effect that the listener's speakers are crackling from the volume. Reznor's vocals are elongated yells through the verses, which contrast with the melodic, guitar-driven chorus. Simple in its structure, the song features a second verse and chorus before moving into a coda driven by a melodic lead guitar line and Reznor's wordless vocal accompaniment. The layering and vocals during this last section are reminiscent of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]''. Its final cymbal hit crossfades with the drone of "[[Beside You In Time (song)|Beside You In Time]]."
