[edit] The song

The lyrics seem to allude to David Bowie's song "Heroes", such as with the line "You're the queen and I'm the king", describing two people trying to make it against an ominous and seemingly unstoppable force. David Bowie is given a special thanks credit in the liner notes of The Fragile.

The song was never played live until the Year Zero tour, on February 11, 2007 in Lisbon, Portugal.

[edit] The music video

A music video was made for this song. It was directed by Mark Pellington and released on 27 August 1999. An extended version of the video has since surfaced.

The video casts Trent Reznor and a large group of black-clothed men who run down empty streets, into a train, and onto a field; several old people; and a young women in a red dress who contrasts with the black and white quality of the rest of the video.

[edit] The single

"We're in This Together" was released on a three-part single, which was only available in Europe and Japan; it was not released in the United States. A radio promo with just the album mix and radio edit of the song was released in America as Halo 15 as well.

The version of "The Perfect Drug" included on this single is slightly longer than the one released on the Lost Highway soundtrack. It fades out at the end instead of ending abruptly.
