About
Sanctified is the fourth song from the Pretty Hate Machine album. It's best known for it's very tribal rhythms and distinctive bassline, though the original version of the song was apparently much brighter. A darker atmosphere was given to it for the Pretty Hate Machine version. The song appears to be about sex with a woman who the protagonist (Trent) is crazy about but is deathly afraid of.

Lyrics
it's still getting worse after everything i've tried
what if i found a way to wash it all aside
what if she touches with those fingertips
as the words spill out like fire from her lips
if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispell
as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell (dance of hell)
i still dream of lips i never should have kissed
well she knows exactly what i can't resist
if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
"dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter i've ever had to write. i'd hoped somehow to get
out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it, but that just isn't possible now.
i don't know what's going to happen, but what can i say to you? will 'i'm sorry' make a
difference? will it ease the pain? the shame you must be feeling... forgive me... please."
i'm just caught up in another of her spells
well, she's turning me into someone else
every day i hope and pray that this will end
but when i can i do it all again
and if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
and if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
Performed live
Sanctified has been a rarely played song since the Pretty Hate Machine tours, though when it is played, an extended intro is usually played during which Trent addresses the audiance.
