I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
my sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way...

Review about Hurt I love it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/15/09
Go and see Nine Inch Nails before it's too late and never again will you say a bad word about the ORIGIONAL version of this song, the emotion Trent put into his performance of this last night was unbelievable. So to whoever said the NIN version lacks emotion and feeling, I dont think there was one person in that arena who wasnt utterly moved by this song.

I think it's pretty obvious what this song is about, that is if you can relate at all to the lyrics. anyone who has ever felt depressed, lonely and desperate knows exactly what this song is about.. its not about heroin addiction.
Sadness | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/28/09
I originally stumbled upon this gem when searching for a sad song to make a tribute with. After being mezmorized and listening to it over and over, I found that it was the most easily related-to song I've ever heard. It's amazing. It nearly made me cry.
amazing. | Reviewer: Trent Reznor. | 5/4/09
I have heard this song an uncountable amount of times and every time i hear it it touches me it is and without a doubt one of if not the deepest meaning full song that the music industry has to offer listen to the top 10 charts and all you'll here is Brittany spears babble on about boys and girls fucking her, fake ass black guys rapping about a girl that broke there heart or how to superman a hoe? Trent is amazing no doubt!.
Hurt really does hurts | Reviewer: a dutchie | 3/12/09
I'm always am crying on this song..
I find myself in this song.
I have BPD, and I was addicted. There are many interpretations.. ervybody got their own.
Mine's well, My addiction what I had.. and cutting in my arm.. This song letterly HURTS me inside on a good way though.
Indeed Johnny Cash covered it!!
Wow | Reviewer: Mota | 1/15/09
This is the only song I've ever heard that makes me shed a tear (even if it's the millionth time in a row I've heard it).
Hurt is one reason music is just amazing. There are so many interpretations and they can all be right (most of them anyway) and that what music is about. Especially the music Trent Reznor has been composing for years. To have a man like Johnny Cash cover this song has to be a huge honor for Reznor. The reviewer from 5/23/07 says it best: Stop pretending you hold the absolute truth. Cause while you hold on to the one solid you've created, other people are sharing these riveting discoveries of music and theory. That's exactly what it is; Theory.
hurt means to me | Reviewer: as a person | 12/31/08
FYI
I've read an article about trent and his addiction .He said that he didn't play heroin but he played coke (cocain) instead. So this song is not for his heroin addiction.
Second, the lyric of this song hit me when I was down and depressed. I didn't need to take drug but I did feel exactly the same as the song described. I agree with many opinions here that the meaning of the song is up to you to interpret it.
this song is infact abput heroin addiction hence needle tears a hole, same old sting and i hurt myself today is refering to the fact that heroin distorts relity and pain is not usually felt under the influence and adicts can not tell wheter or not they are under the influence of heron and also this song is originally by nine inch nails
anybody saying that this is a Johnny fuckin Cash original song should burn in hell while the devil keeps fuckin them up the ass for all eternity. Hurt is the most emotionally hard song that could a person listen in their entire life, it maked me cry like a bitch even that I'm not one. Show some respect, this is a serious song by none other than NINE INCH NAILS.
Fucking Awesome... Need I Say More | Reviewer: The Boy On The Computer | 5/28/08
Ghost I-IV got me into NIN and i'm really into the downward spiral at the moment, this song and march of the pigs being my favourites. great work, i love it when he starts whispering, fucking awesome lyrics
