Genius Annotation

“Only” was the second single released from Halo 19, Nine Inch Nails' fourth album, With Teeth. It was the last song completed during the With Teeth recordings.

The song was stylistically inspired by LCD Soundsystem, who Trent frequently praised while promoting With Teeth.

FUN FACT:
The second track on the Only single, a remix of “The Hand That Feeds”, was remixed by a production team that included James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.


The lyrics contains a verse that is very similar to a previous one:

Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it’s something bad

- “Only”

Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long it was pulling me down

- “Down In It”
