Mr. Self Destruct - I Drag You Down I Use You Up

New Story for The Devil: First Story in Tarot Series

I am currently planning the first story in the new Tarot Series (working title!). The first card I pulled for this project is The Devil. So far, have 3 pages of notes, a mythology, and 3/4 of the plot points mapped out. I have the ending to work out, which should be absolutely psycho. Serious Stephen King’s IT (Tim Curry Edition) creepy clown music playing in my head for this one. But, and this is important, it will be a NO CLOWN ZONE. I don’t mess with clowns under any circumstance.

Themes: Reincarnation, Addiction, Hungry Ghosts (Preta from Buddhism)

After my last note writing session for this story, the perfect song popped in my head which sets the tone for this crazy story - Nine Inch Nails - Mr. Self Destruct. You can find this song on The Downward Spiral. Fill your ear holes with a live version of this song. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

I am the voice inside your head (and I control you)
I am the lover in your bed (and I control you)
I am the sex that you provide (and I control you)
I am the hate you try to hide (and I control you)

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct

I speak religion's message clear (and I control you)
I am denial guilt and fear (and I control you)
I am the prayers of the naive (and I control you)
I am the lie that you believe (and I control you)

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct

You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)

I am the needle in your vein
I am the high you can't sustain
I am the pusher, I'm a whore
I am the need you have for more

I am the bullet in the gun (and I control you)
I am the truth from which you run (and I control you)
I am the silencing machine (and I control you)
I am the end of all your dreams (and I control you)

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
