Covered As: Closer by Richard Cheese
Parodied As: The Alternative Polka by "Weird Al" Yankovic
You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

Help me, I broke apart my insides
Help me, I've got no soul to sell
Help me, the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed

You get me closer to god

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything

Help me, tear down my reason
Help me, it's your sex I can smell
Help me, you make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed

You get me closer to god

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive
The Downward Spiral

Seductive and slithering. And catchy as hell. No other explanation needed as to why this became an instant classic.

Pretty cool for a while, but tends to get boring. Definetly not one of the talent-showing NIN songs.

Didn't like it at first...but when I heard it for the second time, I'm like whoa, this is fucking hot. Obviously a sex tape song. >=]

If you don't think it shows much talent, you're probably taking it out of context and reading too far into the lyrics. Every song on this album is in order, this is just another part of the story that "The Downward Spiral" is. In relation to the album, it seems more about controlling someone/something through sex rather than just hardcore fucking. It has recieved quite a bit of airplay though.

it's a good song, but by any means, not NIN's best...

It's an alright song. I really don't see anything special about it though.
