Nine Inch Nails - Ahead Of Ourselves Lyrics






Everything all figured out
Like it was meant to be
We're on the precipice (I can feel it)
We're on the precipice
Created us in his image
Better be proud of his work
That is if he existed (Not so sure anymore)
That is if he existed

And we just can't help ourselves
And we just can't help ourselves
And we just can't help ourselves
And we just can't help ourselves (I don't think that's me)

Obsolete, insignificant
Antiquated, irrelevant
Celebration of ignorance
Why try change when you know you can't?

Did you ever get that feeling?
Man I can't seem to shake it
Not quite as clever as we think we are
Knuckle dragging animal
When we could have done anything
We wound up building this
We deserve
With illusions of enlightenment
With our snouts in the dirt
With our snouts in the dirt

Obsolete, insignificant
Antiquated, irrelevant
Celebration of ignorance
Why try change when you know you can't?

We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves

  38. m.... m....

    When will he cover NirvaИa?

    m.... m....

    I'm just thinking how wild it would be if he did, but brought Dave Grohl to play the drums for it. It would be weird and wild on many levels.

  39. T.... B....

    This is Starfuckers Inc sequel.

  40. S.... ....

    I like how this invokes the soundtracks of two different versions of doom.

  41. D.... S....

  51. v.... ....

    Someone get BB-8 off camera duty lol!

    v.... ....

    There is something so fucking charming about that adorable little shit trying to film a NIN concert.

  52. M.... ....

    Reminds me of the Hardwired music video for Metallica, I'd have a tough time picking between those two songs though, not to mention those two bands!

  53. S.... K....

    I need a good zip

  58. W.... i....

    This is if nothing else a very unique song. I love it!

  59. E.... B....

    Love the way this tour is being shot, the camera only adds to the intensity of the music for me

  60. J.... S....

    Hello. Goodbye.
    abcdefghijKLMNOPqrstuvwxy ZoSo. Yes. No.
    .may.be.wish.you.were.here

  61. �.... �....

    Alan Moulder mixed this album, as say's Wiki. So I have a question to mr. Reznor: Have we chance to listen Moulder's wife (Toni Halliday, former member of Curve) on next tape as back-vocalist or even more... Collaboration Reznor&Halliday will be marvelous, I guess

  62. D.... A....

    Play this in San Francisco on Monday or Tuesday, please. And La Mer too.

  63. T.... G....

    Oh my flavours, this is rich. Yummy.

  64. M.... C....

    Fuck Ted Cruz and Fuck Donald Trump!!! Halo 5 FTW!!!!

  65. A.... A....

    i dont think he should listen to needledrop i like his newer experimental stuff better.

  66. j.... ....

    magnifico grupo.. pero el cámara podría tener mejores tomas sin tanto movimiento

  67. S.... S....

    Vote for "Bad Witch" by Nine Inch Nails as the best #Rock Record of 2018 in the followoing link: http://sudupereviewer.blogspot.com/2018/08/best-rock-record-of-2018.html #BestRockAlbum2018

  68. M.... Z....

    A massive LMFAO to the dislikes. Hilarious

  69. M.... B....

    So badass.

  70. i.... ....

    holy shit song is defiantly better live by the looks of it

  71. C.... ....

    Wow, it's very nice to see NIN still consistent as a band, even live.

  72. X.... ....

    Fuck yes. Great song and it came accross incredibly well live. Having grown accustomed to the mega light shows and graphics of the past it was cool to find them just as good in the raw and stripped down at the two London shows. 'The three' as i call them and as i have them arranged in one folder as an album took a while to grow on me. And although not my favourite nails (i'm a cliche broken spiral addict from a black wearing miserable cunt era :) it's still good stuff and has a depth to it lacking in many other places. Shifting from place to place for the duration of the record and even taking on hints of influence from power electronics performance in places. Doing what he enjoys and doing it well. I hope he continues to do so for a long time to come.

  73. B.... P....

    Fire 🔥 👍

  74. W.... P....

    Bad song, terrible album,

    W.... P....

    Bad ears, terrible music taste.

  75. S.... G....

    Fuckin', Robin Finck though!

  76. a.... ....

    Upload The Perfect Drug music video, please.

  77. J.... A....

    ÓTIMO"

  78. P.... ....

    Where was this shot?

  79. J.... J....

    No need comments & word's

  80. P.... ....

    the concert dates advertised are still non digital sales? how early are the tickets on sale at box office?

  81. J.... R....

    So outta your head

  82. �.... �....

    Говно

  83. K.... ....

    Wtf is this? Like NIN but this was a little frustrating to listen to...

    K.... ....

    Why, because he's not writing a new Closer over and over again?

    K.... ....

    @big guy Never said that. It's just so disjointed and all over the place. I'm just stating my opinion.

  84. K.... B....

    Perfection! Reznor is either a vampire or discovered the fountain of youth.

  85. R.... R....

    Brutally amazing! YUSSSS NIN <3

  86. S.... B....

    Dam l come up in the 60s and this shit isn't fucking music, that "Going to Get AssFucked" shit, enjoy hell fuckers🖕🖕🖕

    S.... B....

    Back to bed, Grandpa.

  87. S.... S....

    I really enjoy NIN. My dad got me into it and nin is one of my favorite bands cuz I love rock. Nin also sings about some pretty damn relatable shit

  88. a.... h....

    What location is this at?? Vegas??

  89. b.... ....

    I can feel the energy... Great performance

  90. T.... ....

    Thats some really BAD sound quality

    T.... ....

    Oh wow, a live performance that isn't lip synced sounds off.

    T.... ....

    Yeah and thats called bad sound quality

    T.... ....

    @Tusk if you want something clean, then fuck off back to whatever metal band you're jerking off to right now. If you're crying about an Industrial oriented musician sounding dirty and low quality live, then you're in the wrong place. Reznor spent a decade and a half sounding clean and high tech and people bitched. Now the opposite is happening and people still bitch.

    T.... ....

    Dumbasses like you are ruining music, not everything has to have Dr Dre drums

    T.... ....

    It doesn't cost thousands of dollars to make good quality music all you need is the right skills to correctly tune yours instruments and a few mins to run tests before you start the concert and since you asked here is my favorite band https://youtu.be/Kb0uQxOYEV0 not as popular but really good music

  91. G.... B....

    The sound of imperfect/perfect perfection \m/

  92. G.... R....

    Awesome. More of these please (preferably in color). We know u guys film a ton. Why not release it all??? And while we’re on the subject of unreleased footage, if you’re not going to put out the Tension 2013 blue ray why not release the FULL thing on YouTube too?!

  93. J.... A....

    BOM , É ÓTIMO"

  94. J.... K....

    Booooooring

    J.... K....

    @Mr. Surname - just curious, are you always this critical of others who dont share your subjective taste in musak? Or are you just generally a shallow person who cant fathom an opinion beyond your own? XDDDDD

    J.... K....

    It's one thing to have a different opinion, but another to spout "BOOORING!!!" like some heckler in the middle of an audience who everyone wishes that he'd actually stop saying things.

    J.... K....

    @Mr. Surname _it's one thing to have a different opinion, but another to spout "BOOORING!!!"_
    *Because thinking something is boring is not an opinion?*
    hahaha your the kind of guy who wants peoples thoughts and speech controlled when you dont agree with it arent ya? I bet you applaud everytime someone online who you disagree with gets censored? Yeah I can read you like a book, there's a lot of little totalitarians like you runnin around these days tellen others what they should or should not think or say....
    well im not your weak father, so go looking to prove your subjective feeeeeeelings elsewhere, double dick suckin bigot.

    J.... K....

    Sheesh, all I meant by that sentence you decided to quote (and the rest of the comment which I'm guessing you didn't understand) was that the way you PRESENTED your comment made you look like an arse as opposed to simply carrying the opinion itself. No need to get so uptight about it.

    J.... K....

    @Mr. Surname I forgive you.

  95. T.... C....

    Fuck you all and your down votes. GTFOOH

  96. C.... N....

    Best live footage I've ever seen.
