How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

“Somewhat Damaged” is the first track on the Left side of the double disc The Fragile, the third studio album from Nine Inch Nails, released in 1999.

It primarily builds using percussive samples, without many melodic elements. The first part of the song is in a ¾ time signature before turning into a 4/4 time signature superimposed over a ¾ time signature.
