Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have

This song is about heroin which to me makes it less emo and more awesome.  xxAntiKris

I never really listened to “white people music” until high school, but since then I’ve loved NIN. Yeah, Trent can sound like a livejournal sometimes, but it’s fucking music (and it’s FUCKING music) not a doctoral thesis - let go and feel the shit and the words become inconsequential. I love things that are hard as fuck or totally soft, and this is pretty good at being both… Kinda like Sarah McLachlan and those heart-breaking PETA commercials.
