Versions
10 Miles High
This version is heard on both the vinyl edition of The Fragile and the We're In This Together single. Fading in quietly with atmospheric synthesizers and loops, Reznor's distant, distorted voice repeats the line "I'm getting closer," joined by a bouncing melody before drum loops enter. This section builds into the first verse, much clearer and louder with live percussion loops and guitar. A clouded, ambient bridge follows, similar in sound to the bridge of "The Big Come Down," during which high-pitched vocals and acoustic guitar can be faintly heard. A third section with vocals soon erupts, incredibly distorted in a similar manner as the end of "Closer To God." This section gives way to a repetitive coda of distant, layered vocals, which end suddenly.

Lyrics
I'm going to get so high
You'll never get inside
I swore I'd never turn into you
I'm closer all the time
I made it 10 miles high
Can't tell my truth from my lies
I swore to god I would never turn into you
I'm getting closer... all the time
Tear it all down tear it all down tear it
all down tear it all down
Reznor also repeats two of the phrases during the introduction of the song, unprinted in the lyrics:
I'm getting closer... all the time
I tried to get so high
