Piggy
Nine Inch Nails · Downward Spiral
Yeah you
Hey pig piggy pig pig pig
All of my fears came true
Black and blue and broken bones you left me here I'm all alone
My little piggy needed something new
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I don't care
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I just don't care
Hey pig
Nothing's turning out the way I planned
Hey pig there's a lot of things I hoped you could help me understand
What am I supposed to do I lost my shit because of you
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I don't care
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I just don't care
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop

Piggy stands as a defining track on Nine Inch Nails' seminal 1994 album, The Downward Spiral. The recording captures Trent Reznor's signature industrial sound, blending aggressive electronic textures with distorted guitars to create a claustrophobic atmosphere. As part of a concept album exploring a protagonist's descent into madness, the song contributes to the work's intense emotional narrative without relying on lyrical exposition. The track exemplifies the band's ability to merge heavy rock elements with experimental production techniques. It remains a staple in the group's extensive catalogue, showcasing the raw energy and sonic innovation that characterized this pivotal era in alternative music history.
