About
Per Trent Reznor on the official Nine Inch Nails Discord Channel, #nin-chat:
Regarding the track w Antonio, we made friends at some film awards events we were both at years ago. I let him know his score for Birdman was undoubtably the year’s best and we stayed in touch. Over lockdown he reached out about a collaboration where I send him a single element that he builds a song around. I wrote some lyrics, Att and I had a synth arpeggio I used as an anchor and I sang whatever felt right against that static synth line, using some of the lyrics written. One take, purely instinctual.
We sent the vocal and the synth line off to Antonio and I think I suggested not to “fix” anything - keep it pure. Several months later he sent back what you hear now. We had no idea what to expect or what direction he’d take things and it was cool to hear where he went with it - inserting chord changes, etc. Plus, I’d forgotten what I did so it was a fun listen for us. Alan Moulder got involved with the mix.

Lyrics
I’m not really interested in your point of view I can hear Sound coming out of them But I don’t seem to be able To comprehend I can feel Their bullets fly through me But I think i’ve decided They don’t work on me
And I guess I should thank you By the way, for helping me To open my head and letting all that out For showing me the way To be free
Sweeping broad strokes With my lathe of heaven paint right over every last trace this is a new place for just me and you
I’m tired aren’t you? Really tired I can hear it Hear it calling Like a drumbeat Calling it plays when i’m sleeping (Which I think is all the time now) but i hear it all
you know i don’t really not anymore i think i’ve passed the point of rationality and that’s ok if that’s the way it is now i will adapt i have mutated
listening is overrated and unnecessary
But I think we’re past that now
We have all the time in the world Waiting for something to happen Waiting
Just you and me And nothing else matters Because ive decided There is nothing else but You and me
We have all the time in the world We have all the time in our world
Time keeps on slippin' Into the future
