	I think this song is about self mutilation and self loathing...

	I think it's pretty obvious that it's about someone inflicting physical pain on themselves to see if they can feel anything else besides the pain they're feeling inside.... umm, as for Squall02 and rev.manson.... what you said was pretty insensitive... first off squall, it's not that kids fault that his gf would cut herself, and as for you manson, it's very painful to be in a relationship w/ someone that does that because first, it makes you feel like you aren't good enough to make them feel better, and second, it isn't exaclty easy to watch someone emotionaly dying like that.....annnyhow, great song.

	Hurt is my all time favorite song. I can relate to the lyrics so perfectly, thought perhaps i see it differently then Trent did. I think its really self explainitory. Its about hurting and seeing yourself and life as nothing. Its the lowest point. Pain, depression, self loathing. It's set in stages of a certain "moment". Its almost like an epiphany to those who have felt this way. "I hurt myself today to see if i still feel" - (feelings of numbness and emptiness) "I focus on the pain the only thing thats real" - (finally something to feel) "The needle tears a hole that old familiar sting tried to kill it all away but i remember everything" - (Trent doesnt do heroin, any true fan knows that. He's exaggerating it, using the idea of heroin to signify desperation)

	you have it totally right Squall before anyone writes about any songs on the downward spiral they should listen to and understand the whole story that the album tells.
