==Recurring themes and styles==
* The ending keyboard melody of "[[Closer]]" is repeated in the climax of "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]" and the chorus of "[[Heresy]]." A similar piano melody is played at the end of "[[Piggy]]."
* The lyric "[[Nothing Can Stop Me Now|nothing can stop me now]]" appears in "[[Piggy]]," "[[Ruiner]]," and "[[Big Man With A Gun]]." The same phrase would recur on later albums in "[[La Mer]]," "[[We're In This Together (halo)|We're In This Together]]," and "[[Sunspots]]."
* Quite a few of the songs end by repeating the same line or set of lines: "Piggy," "Ruiner," "[[I Do Not Want This]]," "Big Man With A Gun," and "[[Eraser]]." These deviate from the traditional chorus-chorus ending in that these lyrics are introduced near the end, and they are not sung, but rather whispered or yelled.
