Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Terrible Lie by Nine Inch Nails

Today's Metal Track is Terrible Lie by Nine Inch Nails. This is the second track off of his 1989 debut album Pretty Hate Machine. This song is about a man who is struggling with his faith because everything in his life is falling apart. He blames God for doing this to him, calling His promises a terrible lie. Ultimately he seems to beg for salvation and want to retain his belief:

"My skin is begging you, please (terrible lie)
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe
Don't take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to"

I think about this song when I am playing golf and hit it in the rough and end up with a TERRIBLE LIE!
