See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all right where it belongs
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is that all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself, find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is that all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself, find yourself afraid to see?
Nine Inch Nails sono un gruppo musicale industrial rock statunitense formatosi a Cleveland (Ohio) nel 1988. Il progetto musicale è nato dall'idea del cantante e polistrumentista Trent Reznor, che ne cura l'aspetto creativo in ogni sua fase: scrittura, produzione, esecuzione e voce. Reznor è stato per anni l'unico membro ufficiale dei Nine Inch Nails, fino al 2016 quando Atticus Ross, suo collaboratore di lunga data, viene ufficialmente riconosciuto come membro a parità di funzioni con Reznor. La musica dei Nine Inch Nails si caratterizza per sonorità elettroniche, atmosfere cupe e testi introspettivi che esplorano temi come la depressione, l'alienazione e il rapporto con la tecnologia. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Head Like a Hole", "Closer" e "Hurt". L'album di debutto, *Pretty Hate Machine* (1989), ha segnato un punto di svolta nell'industrial rock, influenzando generazioni di artisti. Tra gli album successivi, *The Downward Spiral* (1994) è considerato uno dei capolavori del genere.
