==About==
Reptile is the twelfth song from the 1994 release, [[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]. This song is characteristic of the band's early 90s "industrial" sound, as it opens with an eerie, quiet machine-like sound collage that transitions into a nearly identical-sounding musical composition. Allegedly, it is a sample of a machine that slaughters pigs, though no sources have been found that indicate this.
The lyrics seem to be directed towards an old cohort of [[Trent Reznor]]'s, probably female and probably a romantic relationship turned sour, or a prostitute.
