}} '''"Somewhat Damaged"''' is the first track on the Left side of the double disc ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It primarily builds using percussive samples, without many melodic elements. The first part of the song is in a 3/4 time signature before turning into a 4/4 time signature superimposed over a 3/4 time signature.

==Live==
Reznor sings in a different lower key when performing "Somewhat Damaged" live , due to the intense vocal stress it would normally bring normally. During the [[With_Teeth: With Teeth Summer Amphitheater Tour]], "Somewhat Damaged" the song had a substantially different introduction. On the [[Fragility]] tour Tour, the song was played pretty much the same as the album version, with Reznor on the guitar. However in later tours a new introduction was added to the song, making it no longer necessary for Reznor him to play. An example of this can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L47a_BAhp0c here] in a performance from the [[2009 Roksilde /07/03 Roskilde, Denmark|2009 Roskilde Festival]].
