===Meaning===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. ===Appearances===*The Downward Spiral*[[Further Down The Spiral]]*[[Closure]]*[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]] (CD/DVD/VHS)*[[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]] ===Versions===*Hurt*Hurt (Quite)*Hurt (Live) ===Song Credits===*Production and Mix: [[Trent Reznor]]*Drums: [[Chris Vrenna]] ===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. ==Music Video==The video is simply tour footage of Trent Reznor singing behind the projection screen, with the image in the screen being featured prominently. This was released after a fully produced music video was scrapped. Both the scrapped studio video and the final live video were directed by [[Simon Maxwell]]. ==Lyrics== 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 my crown of shit Upon my liar’s chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stain of time The feeling 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 [[Category:NIN SongsDisambiguation]]
