Prick was eventually signed to Trent Reznor and John Malm's Nothing Records label. The band's debut self-titled album was released in 1995, with Reznor producing four of the album's ten tracks. Prick's lead single, "Animal," received high rotation on MuchMusic and MTV, and Prick opened the US leg of Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie's Outside tour. Unfortunately, Nothing's parent label, Interscope Records, dropped Prick before McMahon could record a follow-up.

In the wake of this set-back, McMahon went on a years-long hiatus from music. Prick reemerged in 2002 with The Wreckard, independently released by McMahon over the Internet, and featuring many songs once slated for the second, canceled Nothing Records album.

Into My Arms
Prick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As each of our minds looks at the last chance
The shake of your thigh
My darling and twitch dance
But, oh, how these pointless existences are

I left you alone
You left me forever
A soul into stone

A heart into leather
Oh, how ambitious-less love will survive

It's alright if you go
I'll get along here without you
Falling in love is just something I do everyday

And it's alright if you stay
I don't know who or why I'm without you
But given some time we'll see more than our eyes will attain
Any day

I gotta get someone into my arms
I gotta get someone

I've given you all I have to show
So come on
Come on
Come on
Come on

It's alright if you go
I'll get along here without you
Falling in love is just something I do for the day

And it's alright if you stay
I don't know who or why I'm without you, but
Given some time we'll see more than our eyes will attain
Any day

Gotta get someone into my arms
I gotta get someone to run, someone to run
Into my arms
I gotta get someone to run, someone to run
Into my arms
I gotta get someone
Someone... Into my arms
Into my arms
Into my arms
Someone to run, someone to run
Into my arms

I gotta get someone into my arms
I gotta get

As each of our minds looks at the last chance
As we both realize the importance of this moment

The shake of your thigh
Your physical movement and energy

My darling and twitch dance
Our intimate dance, filled with small movements and nervous energy

But, oh, how these pointless existences are
Despite the intensity of our emotions, life can feel meaningless at times

I left you alone
I pushed you away

You left me forever
You left my life permanently

A soul into stone
I feel emotionally numb

A heart into leather
My heart feels hardened and unbreakable

Oh, how ambitious-less love will survive
Love without direction or purpose can still endure

It's alright if you go
I'll be okay if you leave

I'll get along here without you
I'll adapt to life without you
