}}'''"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.
