}}'''"Ahead Of Ourselves"''' is the second track on the 2018 LP ''[[Bad Witch]]''. It and "[[Play The Goddamned Part]]" were made available to listen to on May 19, 2018, at special listening stations provided at "The Physical World" ticket presale for fans in attendance.
==Live==
"Ahead Of Ourselves" debuted live on [[2018/06/16_Las_Vegas,_NV|June 16, 2018]] at The Joint in Las Vegas, the only song on ''[[Bad Witch]]'' to be performed live before its official release ("[[God Break Down The Door]]" had been released as a single beforehand). It appeared at all but one show on the [[Europe + Asia 2018]] tour, and at a majority on the [[Cold And Black And Infinite Tour]], usually following on from "[[Shit Mirror]]." ==Trivia==The line "celebration of ignorance" from the song finds its origins all the way back to the 2005 ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'' lyric poster, in the form of an early version of "[[The Warning (With Teeth song)|The Warning]]." The line is also found in the book ''The Demon-Haunted World: Science As A Candle In The Dark'' by Carl Sagan, but it is not known if there is a legitimate connection. ==Music Video==[[Image:Aheadofourselves.png|thumb|Frame from the video]]A live video[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frMcQmyzUZM] was posted to the official [[Nine Inch Nails]] YouTube account on Oct 22, 2018. It was directed by Brook Linder.
==Lyrics==
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
At the end of the track there are two whispered lines that are not in the liner notes, that seem to be:
I'm not so sure anymore
I'm not so sure anymore
