NINE INCH NAILS

- Hurt 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 this crown of shit
on 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
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

What is the meaning behind Hurt lyrics?


When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, the Nine Inch Nails track 'Hurt' is an examination of the self-destructive actions of a person and the following remorse. It conveys suffering, guilt, and the understanding of how such actions affect not only the person but others around him/her. It is through the imagery of 'empire of dirt' and 'crown of shit' that the person is shown as someone whose victories are being swept away and who is burdened with the memory of past mistakes that keep on haunting him/her. Most of the time, Hurt lyrics are characterized by emotions such as heartbreak, despair, angst, reflection, and solitude. On the other hand, the song insists on the necessity of pain and suffering, loss and regret and self-reflection and identity. The lyrics contain themes of self-harm, pain, and drug use, which are considered adult material. The references to emotional distress and the impact of addiction suggest a level of intensity that is not suitable for children without parental guidance.
