Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
The Fragile Released:
1999 She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters when everything is meaningless
Fragile
She doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
It's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away
I won't let you fall apart
She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If I could fix myself I'd - but it's too late for me
I wont let you fall apart
We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...
It's something I have to do
I was there, too
Before everything else
I was like you

LyricFindThe Fragile The album was recorded at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans, using the latest and greatest in digital technology, including ProTools editing equipment. Reznor played most of the instruments, with guest musicians dropping by every now and then. With ProTools, Trent and engineer Alan Moulder were able to record lots of stuff and then mix and match as they saw fit. To create the percussion sounds on this song, they did a lot of experimenting with drums, rigging a drum kit to trigger a synthesizer in order to create a hybrid sound. They also gathered boxes, bottles, and some glass that they put into the bass drum. These various percussion sounds were recorded and turned into a loop for the basis of the track. This is one of 23 tracks on The Fragile, which tell a story known only to Reznor. An earlier track is called "The Frail," which uses elements similar to the title track. While "The Fragile" finds Reznor singing to a girl and offering to look after her ("I won't let you fall apart"), it's part of a bigger picture which Trent later explained was his way of working out his issues with addiction.
