Changes

"Into The Void" is one of several songs on ''The Fragile'' that shares a melody with one or more other songs. "Into the Void" is a sister-track to "[[La Mer]]," also from ''The Fragile;'' both songs grew out of the same initial track and feature the same bass line and melody. As well, the melody played by marimba gamelan at the beginning of the song is echoed as a piano theme at the end of "[[We're In This Together (song)|We're in This Together]]." "Into the Void" starts with a short gamelan-based intro. Lyrically, [[Trent Reznor]] laments over his failed attempts of self-preservation as he is sucked into a void of depravity, illustrated by the chorus, "tried to save myself, but myself keeps slipping away."
