Analysis
Theme
The song features a recurring sound similar to that of an insect-like creature, possibly that of a cockroach. Considering that the cockroach would be the last surviving creature of a nuclear apocalypse, the song fits well with the post-apocalyptic dystopia theme explored in Year Zero
Differences in Artwork
While "36 Ghosts IV" is not the greatest example of this, it should be noted that the much artwork embedded into the files of the official download of Ghosts I–IV from nin.com are not just croppings of the photographs in the PDF.
