[DarkRider]

Yeah it was good for one of his last recordings.... but I like Nine Inch Nails' better.

yep, but it had a lot of meaning before he died and all. if reznor made hurt and then died then it would be HUGE. kinda like nirvana.

and..lets get this straight with the versions of hurt

johnny cash's < reznor's < reznor+bowie's (yes, there is a version with both of em)

Every rock/alternative/punk song is either bout sex/love/drugs.

 

[DarkRider]

nah.... not EVERY single one.... just like 90% of them are.

My mistake, i should bow and kiss your feet now

What a coincidence... I've been listening to this a lot lately...

I dono.. I think it's just he's so lonely, he became one of those people that cut themselves, because he doesn't even know if he's real or not.

Just listen to some of their other songs, it's a recurring theme.

It has nothing to do with him cutting himself.

I hurt myself to see if I could still feel? That was the same stuff that I used to say in those days when I was suicidal and was slitting my wrists and burning myself all day...what makes you think that it couldn't be about that?

 

[Forged]

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 s**t
On 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

It sounds like he is talking about doing heroin, but I could be wrong...

What about NIN makes them any of those three groups you mentioned above? :rolleyes


The term alone "I will make you hurt" seems to be overlooked, along with many other quotes from this song. I'll just go into this one line for the moment to help clarify the effects of heroin for the rest of you that may not know.

Heroin is essentially a chemical stimulant called Dopamine. Dopamine is a natural drug produced by the body to keep our systems in a regular balance. We're all living organisms, and though we may not know it, there is constantly pain being sent throughout our bodies. The reason we're not aware of it on the conscious level, is our body regulates the amount of dopamine that is administered to different areas of the body.

When someone becomes chemically addicted to Heroin, their body stops producing it on their own. Thus the reason why heroin addicts can be so dangerous, and act so violently when they're going through withdrawals. Their entire body is wracked with pain.

Thus the term "I will make you hurt" alone, would ring a sharp bell to those familiar with it's effects almost immediately, regardless of the rest of the lyrics.

If some of you guys are just getting into NIN, I STRONGLY recommend checking out their newest CD "And All That Could Have Been". Last track of CD 2 in that set is perhaps one of the most moving songs they've ever put out. No lyrics. None necissary.
