"Demon Seed" is the tenth and final song on the Nine Inch Nails album The Slip. It contains the same overlapped lyrical style as "The Greater Good" and "The New Flesh," and has a rhythm that resembles the one heard in "38 Ghosts." Its time signature is 6/6, as Trent Reznor can be heard indicating it at a couple points in the song.

The image associated with this song appears to be a four part image of a square becoming more complete or "growing," much like the lyrics portray something growing inside of the narrator. It should also be noted that the red lines seen in the previous pictures are all over, as if they have exploded out of control.

This is the only song from the album that has the different sections of the song numbered, perhaps pointing out cycles or phases.

Lyrics

   1.
   It keeps growing 
   And I can feel it breathe 
   I have been trying 
   To behave myself
   It keeps growing 
   And I can feel it breathe 
   I have been trying 
   To tolerate you
   
   2.
   Well I am reaching the point
   Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
   
   3.
   I thought maybe
   I thought this would go away
   But it continues
   The only constant
   Every day
   Stronger
   
   4.
   I will use my voice 
   And I will use my fist 
   To destroy 
   Everything I can
   
   5.
   Now I know 
   What this is all about
   Now I know 
   Exactly what I am
   
   6.
   There is a seed 
   Inside of me
   That makes me
