==About==

Terrible Lie is the second song off of [[Pretty Hate Machine]] and begins directly at the end of [[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]] (the end of the latter bleeding into the beginning of the former). The song is about having a belief in God while wondering about all the suffering (mostly personal/internal suffering) that one goes through in life, about wanting to believe and wanting to be hopeful but being constantly proved wrong by events in one's life. It's "everyman" subject matter and distinct melody make it one of [[Nine Inch Nails]]' better known songs and a staple of the live concerts.
