The song is in some ways different from most other [[Nine Inch Nails]] songs , specifically in its theme of devotion, while still maintaining an air of desperation as the song's narrator clings to the only thing, or only person left in the oppressive world around him that "means anything."

This is the original album version, found on ''The Fragile'' and three all parts of ''We're In This Together.'' Beginning out of the ending of "[[The Wretched]]" with a machine-like, rhythmic sound collage, it builds in volume and intensity but stops to introduce the main rhythmic thrust of the song, a distorted and staccato guitar riff that runs through all of the verses. After the drums and wah guitar enter, Reznor begins yelling the first verse abrasively. The chorus is driven by loud, distorted and constant guitars and live drums accompanying more melodic and higher-pitched yelling by Reznor. After a second verse and chorus, a driving bridge featuring a wah guitar solo and walls of fluent guitars leads into a final chorus. A descending guitar riff from this chorus continues through the mellow end coda of the song , a section which also shares the piano theme of "[[La Mer]]." It eventually gives way to the opening e-bow guitar line of "[[The Fragile (song)|The Fragile]]." On the singles, the segues from "[[The Wretched]]" (in the beginning) and "[[The Fragile (song)|The Fragile]]" (at the end) have been removed.
