Changes

The song is about having a belief in God while wondering about all the suffering (mostly personal/internal suffering) that one goes through in life, about wanting to believe and wanting to be hopeful but being constantly proved wrong by events in one's life. It's Its "everyman" subject matter and distinct melody make it one of [[Nine Inch Nails]]' better known songs and a staple of the live concerts.

The second track from the album ''Pretty Hate Machine,'' it is perhaps the most industrial selection on the record. I's Its intro beat bleeds in from the outro of "Head Like A Hole" and pops up occasionally throughout the song. The song is almost entirely synthetic and is extremely layered when compared to most of the other songs on the album.

Present on the ''Head Like A Hole'' single, this version is essentially the same as the album version with a few slight differences such as an unadulterated intro, a bit less layering and different arrangements, as well as a different outro and ending. Due to it's its similarity to the album version, however, it's often considered more of a "single mix" for the song, which is used as a B-Side to ''Head Like A Hole.''

"Terrible Lie" is the first song from a live performance shown on ''Closure.'' It follows footage from [[Nine Inch Nails]] fans and protesters alike as well as backstage footage. The classic "[[Pinion]]" intro leads into "Terrible Lie" and a spotlight projects the silhouette of Reznor onto the screen.The band is covered in cornstarch as per usual for the era and Reznor finishes up half singing/half saying "you promised me" into the mike. The video then goes to more fan and backstage footage and is eventually followed by "[[Piggy]]."

The first song on both the CD and DVD/VHS versions of ''And All That Could Have Been,'' the song takes place with just the multi colored set lighting on and doesn't have any special motif to it. During certain shots, one can see the sunset through the opening at the top of the stadium. Reznor can be seen wearing cornstarch makeup and mascara during this song, though most of it doesn't last through "[[March of the Pigs (song)|March of the Pigs]]." The song starts out with the recorded "[[The New Flesh]]"/"[[Pinion]]" intro typical to the [[Fragility 2.0]] shows, though this is entirely cut off along with the actual intro to the song on the CD version. The song ends with Reznor screaming "You fucking promised me!" before seguing directly into "[[Sin (song)|Sin]]."
