Wish
Nine Inch Nails/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I built it up now I take it apart climbed up real high now fall down
Real far
No need for me to stay the last thing left I just threw it away
I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone
Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
I want to but I can't turn back
But I want to
The lyrics to the song "Wish" by Nine Inch Nails express a deep sense of despair and hopelessness. The song starts with the line "This is the first day of my last days," which suggests that the singer is at the end of their rope and can no longer cope with their situation. They have built something up, but now they are tearing it down and falling very far. There is nothing left for them to hold onto, and they have thrown away the last thing they had.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's desire for something real and true in a world full of artificiality and phoniness. They feel like they are the only one without a soul, and they are on their way to hell. They are surrounded by people who are having fun at their expense, and they hate everyone. The last line of the song, "I want to but I can't turn back, but I want to," suggests that the singer is trapped in their situation and cannot escape, but they wish they could.
The lyrics of "Wish" are open to interpretation, but they seem to be about a person who has lost their way in life and is struggling to find meaning and purpose. The song touches on themes of disillusionment, alienation, and the search for authenticity in a world that has become increasingly artificial and superficial.

This is the first day of my last days
Today is the beginning of the end for me
I built it up now I take it apart climbed up real high now fall down Real far
I created something and now I destroy it. I reached great heights and now I fall, far from where I was
No need for me to stay the last thing left I just threw it away
There's no point in staying, I got rid of the only thing I had left
I put my faith in god and my trust in you Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do
I trusted both God and you, but now I realize that was the worst thing I could have done
Wish there was something real wish there was something true Wish there was something real in this world full of you
I long for something genuine and sincere in a world full of people like you
I'm the one without a soul I'm the one with this big fucking hole No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
I have no soul and feel empty. My life is agonizing and repetitive, and I'm headed straight to the pit of despair
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck Don't think you're having all the fun
I have to endure your arrogant, forceful behavior that ruins everything. Don't assume you're the only one enjoying it
You know me I hate everyone
I despise everyone, including you
I want to but I can't turn back But I want to
I desire to go back in time and change things, but I know it's impossible

ripping through the flesh, until there's nothing left///
i hate this place, all it does is give me disgrace///
am i going insane, all in the same day///
feeling misplaced, what the fuck is wrong wit me///
i'm wide awake, but still in a deep sleep///
sometimes i go crazy///
nothing really amazes me///
i'm stuck in this shitty hell, all by myself///
as i slowly die, i can see it in both of my eyes///
all i was ever doing was living up to those lies///
i can only try to escape this fucked up feeling///
i can only try to escape this fucked up feeling///

These screams will just echo through eternity. There is really no voice like it! It's amazing how Chester could do this live.

As a NIN fan. Chester fucking nine inch nailed it. Even tho he doesn't have the balls to sing the best part of the song. As in the guitars, a little bit of distortion would work better to get a bit more of a industrial sound instead of a nu metal one
Personally. I don't see this as a Copy of A cover but rather as an adaptation
