Nine Inch Nails – Gave Up Lyrics 22 years ago
You wake up one day and realize that you've been sacrificing everything that makes you a person. You see all of yourself that's you've given away and you no longer recognize the person in the mirror. I played this song for 4 hours straight after I quit a job that literally sucked my soul out of my body.

Nine Inch Nails – Hurt Lyrics 22 years ago
This song is completely true on so many levels...I used to SI and I did cut to feel, the pain was the one thing to live for. The Johnny Cash song adds another layer to this song...I haven't decided if I think its better or not..I think that the words grip me more on Cash's version while the sound of Reznor's is the best. Just my humble opinion.

"full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here "

In my world that means he's still the same fu*ked up person with the same mental crap going on...but everyone he sees moves on and gets on with thier lives and you have to watch them..which is a whole new layer of hell. Damn good song.
