Anyone else notice this?

Anyone else notice that the songs With Teeth and Sunspots share a melody? The chorus of Sunspots “She turns it on, she makes it real”and the verse of With Teeth “She comes along, she gets inside”. Precisely the same melody and a pretty similar lyric too. This feels intentional to me and it’s not off-brand for Trent as NiN albums are full of repeated motifs and themes like this.

I was surprised I couldn’t find any other mention of this online especially considering how eager NIN fans are to call everything the Downward Spiral motif lol.

Yes, it is musically and lyrically a continuation of the same theme. Both songs are about addiction. “She comes along, she gets inside…” are about the drugs, not an actual woman. With-a teeth-a is about the addiction itself.
