Trent Reznor Introducing the Music Video for “Into The Void” on MTV 2

TW suicide and depression please let me know if these posts are annoying or anything like that I'm just hoping to share some stuff so other people know they are not alone in this

Anybody who has been depressed or suicidal probably understands the feeling of being completely alone in a room full of "friends" that cannot possibly understand what is happening to you. In my case it was because I was so young when I started feeling this way. The growing up too fast, the adults that don't believe you are struggling or in pain because you are so small. I had my 1st asthmatic brush with death as a child and had nobody who could relate, no Internet to look for like minded individuals and a shitty dad who did understand but was too mentally absent to care. I was the weird undiagnosed autistic kid with joint pain. Sorry to get weird and personal but now as an adult I have been able to find solace in music especially Nine Inch Nails. My pain is very different to Trents but I think every one that has stared into the void has something in common. I know now because of people like him that it is possible to become better and I'm so grateful to every artist that have shared their pain with us and formed communities of 'others'

Eventually I discovered that pushing down these emotions will only lead to one place. I will not go.

Nobody ever talks about how fucking boring being chronically ill and disabled is. I'm so grateful to the nin community for giving me space to share stuff with and fill the time (hence the relentless posting). Here's Trent doing something I don't understand but can't stop watching x

Trent serving empire once again

Already wished it, but this seems even more appropriate

Happy pride month to everybody.

Does anybody have a clearer scan I'd love to read this!

TW I wanted to explain a little bit about my experience with illness mental and physical and how it relates to this video if that's cool nsfw talk of pain and suicide yes I've posted this before but I don't think anyone saw so I'll try my own post

I've been ill most of my life and have had some traumatic stuff happen and deal with a lot of dark thoughts regarding both. The loss of my independence and the failure of my body can be incredibly demoralising. Trents lyrics help me feel less alone and I'm sharing this so anyone else who feels this way know that they are not alone. The imagery associated with Happiness in slavery show a man experiencing pleasure and pain while being locked in a machine, the artist featured in the video also dealt with chronic illness and his performance art was shocking but very relatable. Pain can feel like a prison and can take so much away but you can find happiness in even the smallest moments. The thought that Trent put into this whole album as a release of his pain and anger was truly masterful and I am so grateful to have heard his music. The anti system themes are also so powerful we often become comfortable in our slavery to the system but will only find true happiness in freedom fight the system, existence is resistance and being yourself is the most liberating thing you can do!
