Cover art for Hurt People Hurt People  lyrics by Mudvayne

This is about the destructive cycle of projecting one's own pain onto others, and the need to break this pattern by choosing self-love and letting go of the inherited hurt. Lead singer Chad Gray explains the song as a reminder to himself and others to stop the cycle of causing and experiencing suffering, and to instead foster self-love.
