}}'''"Pinion"''' is a very simplistic track that begins the ''[[Broken]]'' EP. This track is notable for being the shortest in length of all of Nine Inch Nails' catalog, along with "[[A Violet Fluid]]" being a mere two seconds longer. It features a pulsing series of chords which eventually picks up and leads into "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]."
A pinion is a gear with a small number of teeth, often engaging a larger gear. It's also a bird's wing or flight feathers. To pinion someone is to bind their hands and feet in such a manner that they cannot be used. An example of this last definition can be seen in the music video to the song.
