Changes

This is the original album version. Its introductory string sample beginning as "[[Meet Your Master]]" fades out, the track index begins this song when its beat begins, which is looped throughout most of the track. Various layers of samples and percussive loops ebb and flow around [[Trent Reznor]]'s whispered and effects-ridden vocals. Its most prominent melody is played with a bell-like synthesizer and is played a couple of different times during the song. A prominent ringing synthesizer tone fades in through the last lyric section, which is then left as the sole accompaniment to Reznor's final mantra, "breathe us in slowly." The song's structure on the whole resembles that of "[[The Great Collapse]]," while its lyrical composition is remarkably similar to "[[The New Flesh]]," including the repeating, overlapping lyrics.

This instrumental version is on the ''Survivalism'' single. The only significant differences between this and the original are the lack of vocals and an additional 10 seconds of the opening sample that begins during the last few seconds of "[[Meet Your Master]]" on'' Year Zero''. An unmastered instrumental is was also available on [[remix.nin.com]].
