Terrible Lie: Pretty Hate Machine



The lyrics:


[hey God,] why are you doing this to me?
am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
why am I seething with this animosity?
[hey God,] I think you owe me a great big apology
terrible lie [4x]
[hey God,] I really don't know what you mean
seems like salvation comes only in my dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
[hey God,] can this world really be as sad as it seems
terrible lie [4x]
don't take it away from me. I need someone/you to hold on to. [4x]
[hey God,] there's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security and pride
I'm all alone in a world you must despise
[hey God,] I believed the promises- your promises and lies!
terrible lie [4x]
you made me throw it all away
my morals left to decay
how many you would betray
you've taken everything
terrible lie
my head is filled with desease
my skin is begging you please
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe
I need someone to hold on to [16x from left speaker]
I give you everything, my sweet everything [4x from right speaker]
[hey God, I really don't know who I am. in this world of piss]


Nine Inch Nails Interpretations



(Pre 5-12-98)
I can relate a lot to this song. Sometimes you feel so alone in crappy place. I feel like that every day. It makes you think, is there a god is he nice. I need something to live for and it seems that god has turned his back on me. This is the relation for terrible lie so im glad no one feels the way i do right now.
