==About==

'''''Eraser''''' is the eleventh track on the 1994 release ''[[The Downward Spiral]].'' It consists of an instrumental ostinato that builds up from the odd sounds of humming and "erasers" at the beginning through heavy rhythmic drumming and very oddly tuned, distorted guitars before dropping out to the vocal area which gets progressively louder as [[Trent Reznor]] yells "Kill Me!" until it completely degenerates into noise and cuts off with a high tone.

===~~Versions~~Eraser (Denial; Realization)===This remix contains a sample of the lyric "erase me" slowed down and repeats the phrase "kill me" throughout.

*Eraser*===Eraser (Polite)===*Eraser (Denial; Realization)*Erased, Over, OutThis remix is very soothing yet still retains the darkness of the original. The first eight lines of the lyrics are repeated three times in the entire piece. The lyric "fuck you" is the seventh line rather than the fifth.

==~~Performed live~~=Erased, Over, Out===This remix consists of the lyric "erase me" slowed down and repeated eight times in the entire piece.

===Eraser (''Beside You In Time'')===

This live version appears on the ''Beside You In Time'' DVD. A screen is dropped in front of the stage as images of animals hunting prey, war, and bacteria are projected.

==Live==

Often played with screen projections of some sort. During the Self Destruct tours, these projections were of desert landscapes and microscopic "chaos". During the With_Teeth tours, these screens progressed from peaceful images of lush meadows and flowers to violent and disturbing images of war. During the [[Year Zero Warm-Up Tour]], small lamps would float directly above each band member and sway back and forth.
