Hurt – Losing Lyrics 18 years ago
Vein is a powerful double entendre though if you take the meaning of the song to be about herion.

Hurt – Assurance Lyrics 18 years ago
I feel like the woman has left him or is leaving him. Mostly where he says 'you won't sing along with me', kind of like he had a song...the song of his life that he wanted her to sing with him, and she wasn't there anymore to make the song of his life with him.
Also some credence to her being dead and he still loves her, though it seems like too many of his songs can be interpreted as a lover dying.

Hurt – Alone With The Sea (Volume 2 Version) Lyrics 18 years ago
According to the album insert, it says I try, then I scry. It even has a picture of an eye next to it that has a caption "I SCRY". But he does also say I try/tried.
I agree with EcoPro. The ocean is also a reference to the mythological river styx, which caused people to age if they looked at it/crossed it.
I definitely see this song as him losing a love, and his feelings of complete loss afterwards. There is a great fan-made video of this song on youtube.
