You Know What You Are? Although the song addresses themes such as self-hatred and obsession, its sexually aggressive chorus led to widespread misinterpretation of the song as an anthem of lust, which helped it become Nine Inch Nails' most successful single up to that time and cemented Trent Reznor's status as an industrial rock icon.

Commercially, "Closer" reached No. Censored versions of the song and its Mark Romanek-directed music video received substantial airplay on radio and MTV. Este sencillo es el lanzamiento oficial noveno. Being the third song on the album to contain the famous "Downward Spiral Motif," "Closer" plays the motif in similar structure to " The Downward Spiral ," but in a different key:.

The part of the motif that segues into "Ruiner" and played by Reznor at the end of the video is played at a higher octave:. Released by Reznor via his remix. This is a major reworking of "Closer," and is quite different in sound and structure. The vocals were re-recorded with a few lines of new lyrics to fit the sound of this song:.

This is an atmospheric remix, made up of heavily distorted synth and percussion loops that sound like machinery. The line "I want to fuck you like an animal" is repeated heavily in the last half. When the song reaches its ending, it changes from the mechanical sound of the rest of the remix to a stripped down form, consisting of only the first verse lyrics, a piano, and the synth drone from the beginning and end of the original song. A special edit was used in the credits of David Fincher 's Se7en.

This is one of the lesser reworked remixes of "Closer. At the end it repeats the two lines "Help me get away from myself" and "You get me closer to God". This remix uses stereo panning in which the phrases "You get me closer to god" and "I want to fuck you like an animal" switch between left and right speaker.

This remix begins with a significantly modified drumbeat, similar to the drums heard in " A Violet Fluid. A loud drum solo features, backed by the looped synth whine from the end of the original, and then the lyrics from the choruses are heard. This is essentially a variation on "Closer Internal ".

Released on the semi-official Recoiled EP.
