==About==
'''''Down In It ''''' was the first single for the album [[Pretty Hate Machine]] and the third track on the disc. It is said to be the first song that Trent ever wrote under the name Nine Inch Nails and is a rare treat to hear live. Following the Down In It single release, a music video was made.
In a 1994 radio broadcast biography of Trent Reznor, it was said that Down In It was inspired by a relationship that had then recently ended for Reznor with a woman named Krissy.
Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long and that dot was pulling me down
I was up above it
Now I’m down in it
Well shut up so what what does it matter now
I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground
Try to laugh about it now but isn’t it funny how everything works out
(“I guess the joke’s on me,” she said)
I was up above it
Now I’m down in it
I used to be so big and strong
I used to know my right from wrong
I used to want it all
I used to be somebody
I’ll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle’s already in my eye
And all the world’s weight is on my back and I don’t even know why
And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said “goodbye”
I was up above it
Now I’m down in it
