Trent Reznor's layered vocals are a prominent feature of the track, overlapping through the wordless choruses, during which they are joined by sustaining guitars playing a noisy, descending guitar part. Quietly transitioning from ' The Way Out Is Through,' it begins by building layers of percussion and melody before launching into the main body of the song, featuring a danceable beat loop and synthesized bassline. As well, the melody played by gamelan at the beginning of the song is echoed as a piano theme at the end of ' We're in This Together.'
'Into the Void' is a sister-track to ' La Mer,' also from The Fragile both songs grew out of the same initial track and feature the same bass line and melody.
'Into The Void' is one of several songs on The Fragile that shares a melody with one or more other songs.
