Trent Reznor stated it was “the hardest song to write” for the record in a 1994 interview. “I still don’t
know if I got it right,” he said. “I have such a bad vibe from that song now – from it sucking in so many
different ways. That was actually two different songs stuck together.” Lyrically it continues the
character’s discussion on both god and the “ruiners” (a metaphor for those ‘in control’ of society) and

But hell is alive and breathing and it knows you’re in there, and most importantly: Hell is not infinite. V1’s journey is about inevitability.
