Down in It Songtext

von Nine Inch Nails

Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky
And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
Sometimes I don't believe them myself
And I decided I was never coming down.
Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
It was just about too small to see.
But I watched it way too long

And that dot was pulling me down.

Chorus: I was up about it.
I was up above it.
Now i'm down in it
I was up above it.
I was up above it.
Now i'm down in it

Well shut up so what what does it matter now.

I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground.
And everything I never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
Try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
("I guess the jokes on me." she said)

Chorus

I used to be so big and strong.
I used to know my right from wrong.
I used to never be afraid.
I used to be somebody

I used to have something inside
Now just this hole that's open wide.
I used to want it all
I used to be somebody

I'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my eye.
And all the world's weight is on my back and I don't even know why.
And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."
