==About==
The song's lyrics are rumored to be about the death of [[Trent Reznor]]'s maternal grandmother, Clara, which occurred before ''The Fragile'' was recorded. Analysis of the lyrics do support the theory of this song being about a reaction to death, but Reznor has not explicitly revealed his lyrical inspiration.
The "Buddha Debutante Choir", credited for background chants on this track, was actually a group of bar patrons who were brought in from Igor's Buddha Belly across the street from [[Nothing Studios]].[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=788]
