}}'''''"Eraser''"''' is the eleventh track on the 1994 release ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It consists of an instrumental ostinato that builds up from the odd sounds of humming and "erasers" at the beginning through heavy rhythmic drumming and very oddly tuned, distorted guitars before dropping out to the vocal area which gets progressively louder as [[Trent Reznor]] yells "Kill Me!" until it completely degenerates into noise and cuts off with a high tone. It starts in a 6/4 time signature before becoming 4/4 as Reznor's vocals increase in volume.

==Live==
Often played with screen projections of some sort. During the [[Self -Destruct ]] tours, these projections were of desert landscapes and microscopic "chaos". During the With_Teeth [[Live: With Teeth]] tours, these screens progressed from peaceful images of lush meadows and flowers to violent and disturbing images of war. During the European leg of the [[Year Zero Warm-Up TourPerformance 2007]]tour, no projection has been used during the performance. However, small lamps would float directly above each band member and sway back and forth.
