I Would for You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What a pathetic string of words
Just leave them lying on the floor
The warning posted on the door
Not over here, not anymore
There was a place that could have been
Step over all that used to be
Since you have let yourself come in
Some things I'd rather you not see

[Chorus]
See, I keep lying to myself
Don't know what else there is to do
If I could be somebody else
Well, I think I would for you

[Verse 2]
Didn't it seem like something more?
So long, I can't remember when
All this has happened all before
And this will happen all again
And I only have myself to blame
And I only have myself to blame

[Chorus]
See, I keep lying to myself
Don't know what else there is to do
If I could be somebody else
Well, I think I would for you
See, I keep lying to myself
Don't know what else there is to do
If I could be somebody else
Well, I think I would for you

About

A beat loop characterised by quick double kicks opens this track, with deep bass and quiet vocals creating the first verse.

Choruses open up with a simpler, clearer drum loop, a different bassline, and strange guitar layering that acts like a strings keyboard patch, creating a large stage for Reznor’s loud and echoing vocals.

The second chorus is followed by a new distorted guitar riff, which repeats as synth and percussion layers build; these eventually give way to a solitary piano melody, which quietly segues into “In Two” in a method recalling “Lights in the Sky” becoming “Corona Radiata” on The Slip.
