"1,000,000" is the second track of the Nine Inch Nails album ''[[The Slip]].'' The work fits directly onto the end of "[[999,999]]," and seems to bridge the two styles of the albums ''[[Ghosts I–IV]]'' and ''[[The Slip]].'' The lyric, "I feel a million miles away" alludes to the lyric "If I could start again/A million miles away" from [[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]. The accompanying artwork is constructed of a '1' and six '0's. Also the one could possibly be a person slipping off the edge of a building, represented by the stack of zeroes. This would coincide with the lyrics. The artwork also resembles, like the artwork for the track "[[Discipline]]," the part of the Art is Resistance logo with the star.
In the Limited Edition CD/DVD insert, there are two red lines in the artwork, one originating in the center of the bottom box on the left, and one originating in the middle box on the right. Both lines continue straight downward and off the page.
The song shares a similar pattern, build-up and sound to "[[The Collector]]," notably how the songs begin, each with a drumming intro and following with a string instrument ("The Collector" had a bass while "1,000,000" has a guitar) which then leads into the lyrics.

==Lyrics==
Kind of hard
Hard to see
When you crawl
On your hands and your knees
With your face
In the trough
Wait your turn
While they finish you off
Don’t know when it started
Don’t know how
Should have found out
Should have happened by now
Got these lines
On my face
After all this time
And I still haven’t found my place
I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don’t feel any thing at all
I wake up
On the floor
Start it up again
Like it matters anymore
I don’t know
If it does
Is this really all
That there ever was?
Put the gun
In my mouth
Close your eyes
Blow my fucking brains out
Pretty patterns
On the floor
That’s enough for you
But I still need more
I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don’t feel any thing at all
