Someone might have already mentioned this, since I have not read the comments, but I think it's about an outside perspective of "God". So Cobain could have been thinking, "Hey, what if God is a little kid with a jar, and we are all those insects that He wants to make happy so He's happy too?". Think that we're little crickets or ants (weak creatures), trapped in a jar (life) with holes poked in so that we can breathe (religion, or that little faith we can barely experience here, while there is a world outside of the "jar" full of this "oxygen" or God's faith, love, or whatever you want to call it) and we're owned by this selfish little boy (God) who takes happiness in seeing you suffer and dig your way out of the grass (problems) you've been covered in. Then, of course, we continue to praise this boy for "saving us" for keeping us in this "jar" when in reality we have "saved ourselves" (see first line) and go on to conform Him and make Him happy. What I'm clueless about is what this "laundry room" where the "jar" rests is.. is it the whole Universe? Does the "jar" actually signify Earth, and the laundry room is the Universe? Maybe.. That goes on to show the actual darkness and uselessness of a God who makes people "happy" so He's happy. |

| Nine Inch Nails – Hurt Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The lyrics most likely refer to heroin, especially "The needle tears a hole, The old familiar sting" (as heroin can be injected with a needle) and "My empire of dirt" ("Dirt" is slang for heroin); But knowing Trent Reznor and what a genius he is, the lyrics could be disguised as referring to heroin but insinuating something else. Have you heard "Only"? People say that song is about drugs on the surface, but about another subject when deeply analysed. | |

Paul is obsessed with criminology and the minds of the people behind crimes. With that being said, this song has the ability to be viewed from the point of view of a rapist. He takes a young victim (probably female) and the song could be a narrative of what's happening: "I dream of you draped in wires And leaning on the brakes" The victim's in the rapist's car. "As I lead you with restless liars And dealers on the take" The rapist is buying drugs from 'dealers' and 'liars'. "And I can read you like a gumshoe Watch this meeting hall sweat and shake" The rapist can read the victim's actions and feelings, like a 'gumshoe' would. "I'll take you on I'll take you on I'll take you on I'll take you all on I'll take you on Oh, I'll take you on I'll take you on I'll take you on" The rapist will rape the victim, and take the people coming after him (cops, investigators, etc.) on. "I am astride you with desire The fault line, no crutch, no stall And I can bind you with no ties Release, and watch you fall" What the rapist is feeling, or thinking, while violating the victim. "See I got this soul It's all fired up This soul, I got this soul It's all fired up This soul, it's all fired up It's all fired up It's all fired up It's all fired up" The rapist's soul is fired up. This could have two meanings; the rapist is turned on, or the rapist is high. "I teach you of death's desires Reflected in lakes As I lead you in a fearful file to a precipice of fate" The rapist is about to kill the victim, probably by throwing her (or him.) into a lake, or another body of water. "And I welcome you I welcome your sweet hearts That bleed and break" I'm clueless about this one; it could either be the rapist is remembering the events, or he's welcoming the people (cops, investigators, etc.). "I'll take you on I'll take you on I'll take you on I'll take you all on I'll take you on When your, your will is gone I'll take you on I'll take you on" Same as I described before. "I am astride you with desire The fault line, no crutch, no stall I can bind you with no ties Release time and watch you fall" Same as I described before. "See, I got this soul It's all fired up This soul, I got this soul, It's all fired up, this soul It's all fired up It's all fired up It's all fired up It's all fired up You're all mine You're all mine You're all mine You're all mine You're all mine You're all mine" Same as I described before, and the "You're all mine" could mean that the victim belongs to the rapist, having taken the victim's life. |

Through the storms and the light Baby, you stood by my side And life is wine But there are days in this life When you see the teeth marks of time Two lovers divide Sound meets sound, babe Her echoes, they surround And all that we need is one thing Now what is there to allow Babe, it's time we gave Something new a try Oh, alone we may fight So just let us be three And baby, tonight I see your lips are on fire And life is wine Now the windows are open The moon is so bright 'Cause no one can tell us What love brings for you and I Sound meets sound, babe The echoes, they surround And all that we need is one thing Now what is there to allow Babe, it's time we give Something new a try Oh, alone we may fight So just let us be three Tonight Through the storms and the light Baby, you stood by my side And life is wine You feel the sweet breath of time It's whispering its truth, not mine There's no "I" In threesome And I am all for it Babe, it's time we give Something new a try Oh, alone we may fight And feathers bend like trees In the moonlight Babe, its time we give Something new a try Oh, alone we may fight So just let us be three Tonight |
