===Meaning===

[[Category:Disambiguation]]
−
The meaning of this song is entirely debatable. Some may interpret this as a depressing suicide note, while others may find it to describe someone finding a new lease on life.

−
===Covers===
 
−
Hurt has been covered by a variety of artists, such as [[Matthew Good]], [[Peter Murphy]], and [[Sevendust]]. The song gained popularity in 2002 when it was famously covered by [[Johnny Cash]], at the recommendation of producer [[Rick Rubin]]. This caused a lot of confusion for the audiences of Cash, who generally weren't familiar with the work of [[Nine Inch Nails]], often resulting in miscrediting the song to Cash. In Cash's version, the line "crown of shit" is changed to "crown of thorns," but is otherwise unchanged.

The only real difference between this remix and the original is that the guitar sound is much cleaner.

The guitar sound is replaced by piano, and a vocal harmony is added to the chorus.

This live version starts with Reznor singing the vocal part and playing the piano melody solo on a keyboard. At the second chorus, the rest of the band joins him.

The video is simply tour footage of Trent Reznor singing behind the projection screen, with the image in the screen being featured prominently.
