Changes

On In the surfaceMarch 1996 issue of Spin Magazine, it appears to be about a man forcing someone at gunpoint to fellate him, but [[Trent Reznor]] has said that the following about this song:"The record was nearing completion. I had written those lyrics pretty quickly and I didn't know if I was going to use them or not. To me, ''Downward Spiral'' builds to a certain degree of madness, then it's more changes. That would be the last stage of a commentary on delirium. So the glorification original point of violence in mainstream "gangta Big Man With A Gun" was madness. But it was also making fun of the whole misogynistic gangsta-rap" music at bulls**t. ... I listen to a lot of it, and I enjoy it. But I could do without the the timedegree of misogny and hatred of women and abuse. Then, my song got misinterpreted as exactly that. It was probably a lack of being able to write. I've been taken out of context, and it's ridiculous."
