Why did johnny cash cover hurt?

Answer 1

I don't know...maybe you should ask Trent Reznor since it's his song.

Trent Reznor, the front man for Nine Inch Nails, originally wrote and recorded the song with his band. Johnny Cash covered the song when he recorded it. The song is about depression and unhappiness with the accomplishments (or lack thereof) made in life.

Answer 2

Hurt--Johnny Cash

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

[Chorus:]

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

[Chorus:]

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
