}}'''"Sanctified"''' is the fourth track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'', recognizable by its electronic tom-based drum beat and distinctive slap bassline, the only [[NIN]] song containing that playing technique. Its mood was altered from its happier demo form on ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]]'' to a darker, uneasier one for ''Pretty Hate Machine.''
[[Trent Reznor]] has said the song is about a "relationship with a crack pipe."[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/display/531]
