The second EPBy the time we got to the third one, ''Add Violence''we had an idea in mind but it felt … rehearsed. Predictable. In the end, what felt true was meant to say that we as a society and as a species are probably an accident, a mutation. Really what we are is fucking animals. And the same questionillusion was enlightenment. But looking for answers externally. Maybe it’s because of this The more we’ve connected with each other the dumber we’ve gotten and there’s comfort in thatthe more we decide we want to kill each other. Maybe there’s a reason things feel kind of crazy and it’s We’re not that I’m insanesome elevated transcendent beings, that I’m we’re bacteria in a situation that’s insanejar.<br>And with I wanted the third EP which has grown into an LP (''art direction of Bad Witch''). It was coming to one final look at that question from rejecting feel like shadows on a cave wall and we’re trying to figure out what EP number two saysit is and really there’s no nice, clean, and it wasn’t safe scientific explanation. We’re just an easy answer… The entire system has a much more bleak accident. String theory and pessimistic outlook and I want to say too much because it gives away kind of the what the thing quantum physics isa fucking trick. But it wasn’t necessarily what we thought it was And we’re not going to suddenly elevate ourselves into transcendent beings. We’re kidding ourselves. I know this will be when we startedan unsatisfying conclusion for some people. I thought it was going to go more science fictionIt isn’t what they want. I don’t really They want it to overwhelm you with cleverness be full matrix virtual reality, and deep diving and part this is the opposite of that felt like an arms race , this is dirt and it also felt like a cop outbroken computer chip and everything you believe in is really just bullshit."</blockquote>

Side B of the vinyl version features 3 additional, unlisted tracks from ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' in reverse: "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]", "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]" and "[[Reptile]]". The vinyl also had a small amount of the black dust in its package, with smudges and fingerprints already on the sleeve and the record. There are also two variants of the lyric sheet, with one in blue and one in red.

A [https://schizophreniasdiary.wordpress.com Wordpress website] was discovered, seemingly originating from 2011, which shares lines and lyrical themes from the EP/LP trilogy; most notably the line "cocksucking chicken wing," which can be found amongst the extra, layered lyrics of "Branches/Bones" printed on the physical vinyl version release. It remains unclear how the two are connected, though it is generally agreed that the correlations are far too vast to be deemed coincidental.

===Trilogy concept===In an interview with Zane Lowe[http://itunes.appleLizzy Goodman posted on nin.com/us/post/sa.24db9a20-59e3-11e8-8359-8a5db8dbb4ce?app=music&ign-itsct=be1_con_zan&ign-itscg=10703], Reznor somewhat explained explains the trilogy’s concept underlying each piece of the trilogyin detail: <blockquote>"Let me drop some cryptic information on you. The idea But to be clear, the record isn’t about Trump, it’s about making sense of this three EP thing was all to find truth in us figuring out who we are now and how we fit into the world. The first EPrecord, ''Not The the Actual Events'', was meant more of an internal fantasy of what if I lit a match to my life and just embraced burning the whole fucking thing down. You know? All of this is an illusion and I really should be from dead or lying in a personal angry ditch somewhere. Who I ''really'' am is an addict that self-destructive reflection on that question destructs. That’s my true nature and this is an illusion and defining how I feel in some borrowed time. It wasn’t a worldpleasant thing, that feels strangerbut it felt like, part of that’s aginga story to tell. Part And if felt like something I needed to internally process. And that supported other things that were interesting to us like aggressive music and a sense of the self-referential, looking back at other albums and pilfering bits of that’s the art design to confuse people and also because I was thinking about those records. To try picking up a guitar, which I told myself I would never do again for whatever reason and finding, you know what? It sounds fucking good. Listening back and going, you know what? That was a good song from 25 years ago, it’s not bad to play something like that. There are no rules. That was the first record.
It wasn’t fully mapped out but it was meant to feel like if we broke up one big record – if it was ''Downward Spiral'', which has acts, if we do an album like that, but release one act at a time, it will be more immediate and the world is getting weirderlevel of adrenaline and momentum will be higher. Finding your place And maybe it will be consumed in a way that feels more digestible to an outside world that looks different every day little bit changes doesn’t have long attention spans anymore. With the second one, ''Add Violence'', the idea was, loosely, to zoom out, to be more global and reacting to imply that maybe we’re all in a simulated reality. And that might introduce the first EP through anger and self-destruction and setting concept of meaninglessness but also provide a match safe container to your lifeexplain why everything feels off.
