== About ==
''''''The Day The World Went Away'''''' is the second track on the Left disc of [[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]. It was released as a single preceding the release of ''''The Fragile'''' and received the designation of Halo 13.
===Meaning===
The song's lyrics are rumored to be about the death of [[Trent Reznor]]'s maternal grandmother, which occured before ''''The Fragile'''' was recorded. Analysis of the lyrics do support the theory of this song being about death, but no one can say with any certainty what Reznor's inspiration was.
===Structure===
TDTWWA follows the percussive and aggressive [[Somewhat Damaged]]. It is one of [[Nine Inch Nails]]' most uniquely structured songs and it is musically the opposite of Somewhat Damaged in almost every way, actually lacking the use of any percussion. It also features the use of a mandolin, another first for NIN.
