On the vinyl edition of ''The Fragile,'' "The New Flesh" comes immediately after "[[Complication]]," ending that side.
==About==
"'''The New Flesh'''" is a song exclusive to the vinyl version of [[The Fragile]], disc 1 of the European and Japanese [[We're In This Together]] single, and the Australian [[Into the Void]] single.
 
==Meaning==
As with many other NIN songs, the lyrics of ''''The New Flesh''' are largely abstract and the meaning is subject to interpretation.
 
==Live==
Although the song has never been performed live in its entirety, during the [[Fragility]] tour instrumental portions were cross faded into [[Pinion]] to form a prerecorded introduction.

==Versions==
===The New Flesh===
This is the original version. Fading in with a synthesizer whine and various manipulations and reversed effects, Reznor's spoken vocals are accompanied by clocks ticking, a synthesized bass loop and chromatic piano improvisation, the latter a feature shared with "[[The Way Out Is Through]]." The layers ebb and flow through the first half of the track, eventually crossfading with a distorted full band coda, similar in composition to the muffled ending of "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]." As the guitar, bassline and drums fade in, Reznor yells over top, eventually joined by loud crowd loops. The entirety of this 3/4 coda fades out and filters down the low and mid frequencies, the high pitches stopping suddenly. ===The New Flesh (Instrumental)===Released on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1''. Also known as "The New Flesh" (Alt) when it was originally released on Apple Music as part of ''The Fragile Instrumental''. Both versions are musically identical. ===The New Flesh (thingsfallingapart.com version)==='''''Running Time: 1:19''''' Used as accompanying music for the official [[thingsfallingapart.com|website]] for ''[[Things Falling Apart]]'', this short remix was released officially through [[remix.nin.com]] as a high quality MP3 in 2007. Also released in this fashion was another, [[Untitled (from thingsfallingapart.com)|untitled piece of music]]. Those two tracks, prior to remix.nin.com, were ripped from thingsfallingapart.com and called "The New Flesh" (Version A) and "The New Flesh" (Version B). Compared to their officially-released 2007 counterparts, Version A and Version B are basically the same, with minor mastering and fade out variations. ===Complications Of The Flesh==='''''Running Time: 6:38''''' This remix, created by [[Danny Lohner]], combines "The New Flesh" with "[[Complication]]" and appears exclusively on Part 3 of the ''We're In This Together'' single.
===The New Flesh (version a''And All That Could Have Been'')===One The song's most recognizable elements (the bassline, clock sounds, and synth whine) are used to form much of the menu music for the DVD version of ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'', in addition to those elements being combined with the guitar riff of two versions released "[[Pinion]]" to form the DVD introduction. It is not included on nin.com during The Fragile erathe audio CD release.
===The New Flesh (version b)=Live==One Although the song [[NIN songs never played live|has never been performed live in its entirety]], instrumental portions were combined with "[[Pinion]]" to form the introduction for the [[Fragility]] tour. [[Trent Reznor]] sang the lyrics "Give it to me, I can take it!" at least once over top of two versions released the introduction. This was done again on nin.com during the [[NIN 2014 Europe/UK Tour]], but it was combined with "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Fragile eraDownward Spiral]]" instead of "Pinion".
==Lyrics==
1
I can take it
Sideways
Waves
Of every feeling ever felt
…screaming 2
Hold it close
(So) I can taste it
3
I've watched this scene a thousand times
And in my head
This is not an exit
This has begun
4
I can almost see
The blackest eyes
The new flesh
A new disguise
...Welcoming...…Welcoming…
Please
5
Give it to me
I can take it
Give it to me
I can take it
Reznor also repeats an unprinted phrase through the coda of the song, which sounds like: I can take it've become [alive]==External Links==*[http://archive.org/details/remix-nin-com-audio-00907 "The New Flesh" (thingsfallingapart.com version) at archive.org]
