The official nin.com website description states (akin to ''Not The Actual Events''): "PART TWO. THE VIEW WIDENS AND EVERYTHING IS IN QUESTION."
==Hidden Themes / Possible ARG==
With the amount of clues hinted at and unmistakable lyrical correlations present throughout both EPs, Reznor stated the following in an interview posted online on July 26, 2017:
"With the new EPs, I liked world-building, and writing music that can sit in that world. I was always the guy who desperately wanted the Dark Side of the Moon to line up withA 1995 article in the Fort Wayne Gazette Journal brought widespread attention to the apocryphal claim that Pink Floyd’s seminal 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, was recorded to intentionally sync up with, and enhance, viewings of the Hollywood classic The Wizard of Oz. Evidence ranges from eerie coincidence (physical actions and cuts happening in accordance with the music) to playful (the Witch of the North entering to the line “Don’t give me that do goody good bullshit”). The Wizard of Oz. I wanted to believe somebody was so far out of their mind that they figured that out. Fuck, I got goose bumps just thinking about that possibility right now — the idea that someone could be thinking so hard about an album.
What the obsessives maybe don’t know is that if I were to explain everything to you, or just explicitly lay out what the new EP is about, you’d only be disappointed. You don’t really want to know. The experience of grappling with the thing is what makes it interesting, not the immediate gratification of going, “Oh, that’s what it means."[http://www.vulture.com/2017/07/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails.html]
