Right Where It Belongs
Just wanted to share some lyrics that I found raise a lot of thought in my mind
 Right Where It Belongs By NIN see the animal in his cage that you built? are you sure what side you're on? better not look him too closely in the eye... are you sure what side of the glass you're on? see the safety of the life you have built? everything where it belongs... feel the hollowness inside of your heart and it's all right where it belongs... what if everything around you isn't quite what it seems? what if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream? and if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be? what if you could look right through the crack? would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see? what if all the world's inside of your head? just creations of your own... your devils and your gods and the living and the dead and you really are alone you can live in this illusion you can choose to believe you keep looking but you can't find words are you hiding in the trees? what if everything around you isn't quite what as seems? what if all the world you used to know is an elaborate dream? and if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be? what if you could look right through the cracks? would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

Re: Right Where It Belongs
Life IS a dream. I've always thought that was pretty self-evident!
Anyway, I'm not really good at reading lyrics without a voice/accompanying music, so I don't know how much help I could be. Interesting though; maybe a little cliche. I mean, "what if everything around you isn't quite what it seems?" Heard that before...

Re: Right Where It Belongs
The first "stanza" to this song is ridiculous... by far my favorite part... But then again Trent and I see shit pretty much the same way.. so I'm not surprised.
He's intelligent. He's a cynic. That's all I need to know.
