Hurt by johnny Cash
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
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and 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

  • its sad that nine inch nails wrote this song, and johnny cash becmae more popular...but still, his version is really better

  • he was popular long before his last album, but he did give credit to nine inch nails, and they did say that his version had more meaning, considering his wife has just died

  • This is about what have we become, Will people love us in the end ? What will people say about us when we are gone ?

  • that and being in pain over the lose of a loved one

  • i like Trent's better, but this is an interesting take on the song. Maybe it's because i don't know alot about Johnny Cash but i think it fits NIN much better,especially when the rest of the DS album is considered.

  • did this cover after his wife died. then died a few months after this

  • You know, I'm not American, I'm not a particularly fond of Johnny Cash's work and I'm not into country music (I prefer metal). But this is a song that hits you in the chest like a jackhammer. The Man in Black conveys his emotions of despair, loneliness and weariness through this song in such a powerful way that no matter what you're into, be it metal, country, emo or whatever, you can feel Johnny Cash soul in the song.

    Truly a masterpiece, hope you find the rest you longed for, Johnny Cash.

  • this is by far my favourite Johnny Cash song, he doesnt just sing the lyrics, he means them.

  • this has to be one of the most powerful music videos Ive ever seen. Not just the film, not just the music, the actual audiovisual combo is incredible.

  • @srpskaprinceza93 I think it's called "metaphore".

  • how come in the end the images start going faster and faster?

  • @Sarah26630 I live in Sweden and many of my favourites comes from your country or ...maybe ..the Canadian Bacon...such as Neil Young,Joni Mitchell (Heijira)...Bob Dylan..on the border to the great lakes...Leonard C would protest..because of Chelsea Hotel...Sorry...i just want to have contact....call me....if you can...

  • @Sarah26630 I am 56 and still crying when i see the video ! Sold Out my guitars because i am no Neil Young or.Johnny Cash. But one year ago I find myself and bought a simple guitar and i am perfect...???

    Hasse.
