}}'''"The Day The World Went Away"''' is the second track on the Left disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It was released as a single preceding the release of ''The Fragile'' and received the designation of [[Halo numbers|Halo 13]].
The song's lyrics are rumored to be about the death of [[Trent Reznor]]'s maternal grandmother, Clara, which occurred before ''The Fragile'' was recorded. Analysis of the lyrics do support the theory of this song being about a reaction to death, but Reznor has not explicitly revealed his lyrical inspiration.
