How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Each Official Nine Inch Nails release has received a Halo number, a chronological number based on when it was released, following the word ‘Halo’.

Trent Reznor was inspired by Depeche Mode, who used a similar system to name their albums and singles, STUMM and BONG, respectively.

Some Halo numbers are suffixed, such as different editions of albums or different versions of released singles.
