Versions

Even Deeper

This is the original version available on The Fragile. On the vinyl version, the middle instrumental section is extended by a few bars, and the end does not feature "Pilgrimage" fading in.

Even Deeper (Telefon Tel Aviv Remix)

This remix was released on May 15, 2007 on an album for the group Telefon Tel Aviv, titled Telefon Tel Aviv—Remixes Compiled, along with remixes of other various songs. This remix still incorporates the atmospheric sounds that were featured on the intro to the original, but it also layers on multiple glitchy electronica-type noises as well. While this version completely leaves out any of the original guitar parts, it features a delayed and reverbed guitar part, a couple synth loops and an additional piano piece. It is a pure instrumental track besides Reznor's distorted voice in the background towards the end. A CD-quality MP3 version of the track was uploaded by Reznor on remix.nin.com. The ID3 tags list the song's genre as "*gay*".

Live

The nah-nah-na-na-nah-nah's during the second chorus are played by a keyboard instead of with vocals. Since the Live: With Teeth tour, the last segment of this song ("I'm straight... I won't crack...") has been sung with sparser lyrics.

Miscellaneous

Reznor has said that "Even Deeper" is one of his favorites from The Fragile.

Lyrics

    I woke up today
    To find myself in another place
    With a trail of my footprints
    From where I ran away
    Seems everything I heard just might be true
    And you know me
    (Well you think you do)
    Sometimes, I have everything—
    Yet I wish I felt something
    
    Do you know how far this has gone?
    Just how damaged have I become?
    When I think I can overcome
    It runs even deeper
    
    In a dream I’m a different me
    With a perfect you
    We fit perfectly
    And for once in my life I feel complete—
    And I still want to ruin it
    Afraid to look
    As clear as day
    This plan has long been underway
    I hear them call
    I cannot stay
    The voice inviting me away
    
    Do you know how far this has gone?
    Just how damaged have I become?
    When I think I can overcome
    It runs even deeper
    Everything that matters is gone
    All the hands of hope have withdrawn
    Could you try to help me hang on
    It runs…
    
    I’m straight
    I won’t crack
    On my way
    And I can’t turn back
    I’m okay
    I’m on track
    On my way
    And I can’t turn back
    I stayed
    On this track
    Gone too far
    And I can’t come back
    I stayed
    On this track
    Lost my way
    Can’t come back
