}}'''"Every Day Is Exactly The Same"''' is the sixth track on the 2005 release ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]''. It seems to be about addiction and overcoming it. There are also possible references to George Orwell's ''Nineteen Eighty-Four''. It is also notable that the drums (performed by [[Dave  Grohl]]) are quite similar to the drum track to "My Hero", also performed by Grohl.

In 2007 it was nominated for the Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" but lost it to "Woman" by Wolfmother.

==Versions==
===Every Day Is Exactly The Same===
This is the original album version, found on both ''With Teeth'' and the ''Every Day Is Exactly The Same'' EP.  The song opens with distant, warbled piano notes and ambient noise before the verse suddenly kicks in with thumping live drums, a distorted bassline, and Reznor's vocals.  There is separate electronic percussion syncopated with the live drums, deepening the rhythm.  Halfway through the first verse, synthesized strings enter, sweeping along with the driving bassline.  These strings intensify in the choruses, pounding out the same single high note as Reznor wails against his own homogeny.  This structure remains until the bridge, when the bass and synth-strings suddenly drop out, leaving only the percussion and spare, moody piano notes.  The entrance of a high-pitched, tremolo-ing guitar and Reznor's scream of "I don't know...what else I can do!" drive the song into its vocal-layered final chorus and eventual echo-laden percussion outro.

===Every Day Is Exactly The Same (Live At Rehearsals)===
This version of the song is exclusive to the ''Beside You In Time'' DVD/HD-DVD/BluRay. It was filmed and recorded in the band's rehearsal space in early 2005.

==Music Video==
There were plans for a music video to be directed by Francis Lawrence, edited by Mario Mares, with Max Goldman as director of photography, but it was scrapped during post-production, not long after details about the video leaked to the web. Reznor commented on the scrapped video on [[Echoing the Sound]]:

     Regarding EDIETS, there will be no video released. I made a mistake.
     The good news is that mistake has acted as a catalyst for me to 
     rethink a number of decisions regarding the direction and position of 
     the band I've made and will be making in the future.
     The enemies from outside and within have been identified and I am back on track.

==Lyrics==
     I believe I can see the future
     Because I repeat the same routine
     I think I used to have a purpose
     And then again that might have been a dream
     I think I used to have a voice
     Now I never make a sound
     I just do what I've been told
     I really don't want them to come around
     Oh no
     
     Every day is exactly the same
     There is no love here and there is no pain
     Every day is exactly the same
     
     I can feel their eyes are watching
     In case I lose myself again
     Sometimes I think I'm happy here
     Sometimes I still pretend
     I can't remember how this all got started
     But I can tell you —exactly— How it will end
     
     Every day is exactly the same
     Every day is exactly the same
     There is no love here and there is no pain
     Every day is exactly the same
     
     I'm writing on a little piece of paper
     I'm hoping someday you might find
     I'll hide it behind something
     They don't look behind
     I am still inside here
     A little bit comes bleeding through
     I wish this could have been any other way
     I just don't know what else I can do
     
     Every day is exactly the same

Additional lyrics printed in the With Teeth PDF booklet, but not appearing in the song itself 

     And I've rehearsed my lines
     And I know what's coming next
