And All That Could Have Been (song)
Revision as of 00:25, 26 January 2009 by Miss Destruction (talk | contribs)
"And All That Could Have Been" is the seventh track on Still, which was released with the Deluxe Edition CD version of And All That Could Have Been and was available for mail-order with the purchase of the DVD version and is currently available for order through NIN.com. Some fans believe this song to be the emotional sequel to "The Great Below."
"AATCHB" features guitar distortion and the layering of multiple guitar effects often found in songs of the "Shoegaze" subgenre—bands such as My Bloody Valentine (with whom NIN's usual mixer, Alan Moulder, worked) and The Jesus & Mary Chain (who NIN opened for back in 1989).

Lyrics
Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here
Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am
Tainted
The two of us
Were never meant to be
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Gone fading everything
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am
Tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
