The Space In Between
How to Destroy Angels (Trent Reznor Mariqueen Maandig Atticus Ross) Lyrics

All our blood lying on the floor
The aftermath of our struggle and sacrifice is laid bare and visible to everyone in a brutal manner.

Sense the crowd expecting something more
The audience anticipates and demands even more from us, despite the toll it takes on our mental and physical well-being.

Opened up, proudly on display
We expose our innermost selves, previously hidden from the world, as we try to express our emotions and experiences through our performance.

What we tried so hard to hide away
The painful thoughts and feelings that we attempted to keep hidden inside ourselves are now revealed and out in the open.

Blinding light illuminates the scene
The harsh and unforgiving light highlights every detail of our performance, both good and bad, exposing us to the scrutiny of others.

Try to fill "The Spaces In Between"
We try to use our art to capture and convey the subtle and elusive emotions that are difficult to describe in words.

Arms entwined in a final pose
As our performance comes to a close, we make a final, symbolic gesture that represents the culmination of our emotional journey, with our arms intertwined in harmony.

Narrative drawing to a close
The story we've been trying to communicate is reaching its conclusion, as we make our final statement to the audience through our art.

Still remain the things we couldn't kill
Despite our best efforts to overcome our struggles and pain, there are still parts of ourselves that persist and refuse to be extinguished, reminding us of our humanity.

In your eyes I can see it still
Even in the eyes of those closest to us, we can see the lingering presence of our unspoken pain and emotions, despite our attempts to hide them.

How we choose the framing of the scene
We have control over how we present ourselves and our art to the world, and the choices we make in this regard can influence how our audience perceives us.

Hate begins to spill across the screen
The negative emotions that we sought to overcome and leave behind are starting to take over again, and we are reminded of the darker aspects of humanity.

Blinding light illuminates the scene
Once again, the bright light highlights every aspect of our performance, exposing us to the unforgiving gaze of the audience.

Try to fill The Spaces in Between
We continue to use our art to capture and communicate the complex emotions that are beyond the reach of language, in the hopes of truly connecting with our audience.
