About This Track

Trent Reznor has described the album as a confrontation with old habits, even after personal transformation. The steady pulse and dark mood of "Various Methods of Escape" can mirror the mental effort of maintaining an easy pace when the body wants to revert to old, faster habits.

Why It Works for Running

At 110 BPM, the track resists any temptation to surge, instead favoring the slow-burn grind of a long, deliberate effort.
