johnny cash - hurt

johnny cash의 u2 커버 one을 듣고 싶어서 박스세트-_-를 샀는데 맨 마지막 장 마지막 곡으로 들어 있는 nine inch nails 커버 hurt. 이거 좋잖아, 라고 생각하고 있었는데 컨트리 쪽에서는 굉장한 히트를 친 곡이었다.




nine inch nails의 원곡과 다른 부분은 가사 중 'shit'이 'thorn'으로 바뀐 건데, 이게 'crown of thorn'이 되어 버려서 안그래도 종교적인 곡 분위기에 매우 어울리고 있다.



Johnny Cash - Hurt

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
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

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
