Ever feel like you're just going through the motions, barely recognizing your own life? This track dives deep into that unsettling feeling of disconnection and the constant search for validation. Trent Reznor's lyrics explore themes of societal pressure, self-deception, and the futile quest to fix what's broken inside us. The repeated question "Are you less than?" challenges listeners to reflect on whether their pursuits have truly brought fulfillment or just more emptiness. It's a raw commentary on how we justify our actions and distractions, only to find ourselves still wanting. In essence, it’s a wake-up call to confront our inner voids rather than masking them with superficial fixes.
