trent on march of the pigs



interviewer: can you tell me who the pigs are?

trent reznor: uhh, it kind of depends which song you're talking about. but, it could be anywhere from...well, for example in march of the pigs... i'm referring mainly to..anywhere from the media to people who i thought were friends that are around me to the kind of.... the issue i think i was addressing was the feeling we got when in america when we attain a certain level of success and it surprises us to see all the legions of people around you who start fucking with you and um can't wait to see you fail, waiting for you to fuck up, ripping you off, trying to use you...the fact that american media in the underground world, you're their darlings, to oops we accidentally start selling some records, and "we have to turn our backs on you" because we're not cool anymore because people know about us now.

interviewer: right, is that "take the skin and peel it back/doesn't it make you feel better," is that what that line's about?

trent reznor: right.
