==Versions==
===The New Flesh===
This is the original version. Fading in with a synthesizer whine and various manipulations and reversed effects, [[Trent 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 (version aInstrumental)===One of two versions Released on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1''. Also known as "The New Flesh" (Alt) when it was originally released on NIN.com during Apple Music as part of ''The FragileInstrumental'' era. Both versions are musically identical.
===The New Flesh (thingsfallingapart.com version b)===One of two versions released on NIN'''''Running Time: 1:19''''' Used as accompanying music for the official [[thingsfallingapart.com during |website]] for ''The Fragile[[Things Falling Apart]]'' era, 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 (''And All That Could Have Been'')===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 "[[Pinion]]" to form the DVD introduction. It is not included on the audio CD release.
==Live==
Although the song [[NIN songs never played live|has never been performed live in its entirety, starting from the [[Fragility]] tour, instrumental portions were cross faded into combined with "[[Pinion]]" to form a prerecorded the introduction, sometimes with for the [[Trent ReznorFragility]] singing, tour. Reznor sang the lyrics "Give it to me, I can take it!"at least once over top of the introduction. This was done again on the [[NIN 2014 Europe/UK Tour]], but it was combined with "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]" instead of "Pinion".
==Lyrics==
1
I can take it
Sideways
Waves
Of every feeling ever felt
Come screaming…screaming
2
Hold it close
(So) I can taste it
3
I've watched this scene a thousand times
And in my head
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
 
While the above lyrics are printed in the vinyl booklet of ''The Fragile'', the following lyrics are what is actually heard on the song:
Sideways
Sometimes
Some things
Feel like
I'm on the other side
Waves
Of every feeling ever felt
…screaming
This is how it all begins
This is how it all begins
I can almost see (...how it all begins)
The blackest eyes
The new flesh
This is how it all begins Give it to me I can take it Give it to me I can take it Give it to me I can take it Give it to me I can take it 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've become [alive] ==External Links==*[http://archive.org/details/remix-nin-com-audio-00907 "The New Flesh" (thingsfallingapart.com version) at archive.org]
