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 Johnny 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 Video==The video is simply tour footage of [[Trent Reznor|Trent]] 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. ==Lyrics===
I hurt myself today
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
