Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Don't you feel a whole lot better?"

Answer: "All the Pigs, All Lined Up"

"All the Pigs, All Lined Up" was released on the domestic Halo 7 as a remix for "March of the Pigs". When Trent performs live, however, he oftentimes integrates the ending chant from this remix -- "All the pigs are alllined up" -- while singing the original song.

2. "Devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest. Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress."

Answer: "Reptile"

"Reptile" had two different remixes on the "March of the Pigs" singles: "Reptilian" and "Underneath the Skin".

3. "Black and blue and broken bones. You left me here. I'm all alone."

Answer: Piggy

"Piggy" from "The Downward Spiral" seems to have some similarities to "Somewhat Damaged" from "The Fragile". Both songs talk about being left behind and/or forgotten.

4. "Everything's blue in this world."

Answer: the downward spiral

"The Downward Spiral", the song, is a very colorful representation of depression-induced suicide.

5. "Need you. Dream you. Find you. Taste you."

Answer: "Eraser"

"Eraser" was given a softer approach on Halo 10 as "Eraser (polite)".

6. "And oh so sick I am and maybe I don't have a choice and maybe that is all I have and maybe this is a cry for help."

Answer: "I Do Not Want This"

There are two sections in this song in which the lyrics are spoken in the background instead of sung.

Answer: the becoming

Adrian Belew, well known for working with Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, Crash Test Dummies, and Mariah Carey, among others, supplied the ring mod guitar for "The Becoming".

Answer: Memorabilia

"Memorabilia" is an eerie remake of a Soft Cell song. It contains strange chants softly spoken in the background.
