The original version was Reznor ruminating about the then-present life of self-inflicted drug squalor he was in at the time and, basically, whining about it. Kind of wish he'd go back to that, though... after "The Fragile" he has barely done any music worth listening to.
I know a lot of musicians find it hard to keep making good music after bigger type successes. Sounds like I'm not missing out on much with him.
