Everyday Is Exactly The Same by Nine Inch Nails

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

[Chorus x2] 









I don't think I can even express in words how much this song means to me.  From the first time i heard it, I decided that I would always remember what it said.  I decided that I would ever let my life turn into the life that the song describes.  Trent Reznor, the singer for Nine Inch Nails who wrote this song, is trying to tell the world about his opinion of himself.  When he wrote this song, he was struggling with recovery from drug addiction.  He describes the monotony of his drug inhabited life.  Sometimes we let things get away from us, and we slip into a rut.  It's something we may not notice right away, but when we do, it's quite a shock.  Then, we start thinking about where we went wrong.  This is kind of what Reznor is doing.  He is analyzing how he used to live a full life, but now lives everyday with no feeling.  He admits to just sitting back and doing what he's told.  This is an extremely common theme in our generation.  I love this song, and I love how Reznor chooses to face his problems by putting them into a song.
