An
intrumental piece by
Nine Inch Nails off of the
Broken EP,
pinion is little more than a repeating
loop of
industrial static ever increasing in volume layered over the muffled sound of
pipes being beaten together.
The
music video for
pinion begins with the
flushing of a
toilet, then proceeds to follow the
excrement down, down, into the
depths of despair, past rotating
wheels, until finally we see that the same
pipe coming from the
ivory throne is
force feeding a
pinioned
human figure.
