well, it's a remix of it. there's a long story at the bandcamp page. short story: i know the track has a highly personal aspect to it and i'm sort of missing the point, but, after five years (which saw me go from pre-teen to young adult), i was expecting something a bit more substantial than a few power chords and some reverb floating around in the back, idiosyncratic verses or not. i'm not falling into the "writing for me" fallacy - i know it's absurd - but all the delays and marketing and projections of genius made it...
...anti-climactic. to put it lightly.
but i was encouraged by people at alt.music.nin to remix it, and consequently took the position that the best thing to do would be to approach it's flaws, as i saw them. i didn't really want to reinterpret it outside of the context of the full record (which actually hadn't been released yet); rather, i wanted to exaggerate it to what i felt it could have been. so, it's the same basic concept, it's just taken to a greater extreme....
(relevant track: the day inri messed the world up)
