Nine Inch Nails- Hurt (doesn't reflect my current vibe but I like the lyrics)

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
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of [censored]
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
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

Boy, you DO have an aptly named username, don'tcha?! wink


Yip and I believe in a peaceful solution to middle east, the possibility of ending of world hunger, the striking down of all terrorists, the saving of all the worlds children and the possibility that we can all live as one village !

Now where is that dope .......ha ha

Johnny Cash did a version of Hurt by NIN. Just as sad.

It was "Good" by Alanis Morrissette (she's not angry ALL of the time).

SP - I would LOVE to know what Mrs. SP is healing to. If I had to guess, I think she'd dig "Good."


Greek, this is the only way I could think of to reach you since it doesn't look like you have (or need, thank God) your own thread. As a relative newcomer here, I have gained much wisdom from your husband (especially Film Study - What Worked). Today, on some post I became aware that you are Mrs. Coach and since my wife has left and does not want to talk about why she wants a divorce and I am stumped, I decided to read all of your posts. Thank you. I've learned much in the last 45 minutes or so of reading.

How much do you charge per hour? (Y'see, I have this relatively small, recent thread on how my confused, pained, dear friend will not talk which has me completely stumped .....) wink

God bless you, Coach, your challenges, successes and inspiration.

Yep. Love it...in a "now I'm ready to off myself" kind of way. How brilliant was that? JC doing NIN...

Me, too, actually. I was just on her computer, farting around with her iTunes because she's PC and I'm Mac and she always sync'd her iPod with my computer, so I had to reconfigure cross-load up-load (ACCK! make it stop) her playlists.

She's got some new songs there, including "Brand New Day" by will.i.am. (but that's an Obama thing), and a lot of stuff I never heard of.

But she's also got all the old stuff, too, like "Criminal" by Fiona Apple and "You're No Good" by Ronstadt, etc.

In general, WAW is not "that kind" of a person -- what's the word I'm looking for? Sentimental. She doesn't get attached to things. No one in her family does. In many respects they're very 1950s, Cheever, cold-WASPy people. They form limited attachments to people and far fewer to things. I, on the other hand, still have stuff from kindergarten.

I'm actually surprise that I haven't seen Stronger (Kanye West) come up yet.

I listen to that one a lot as it really resonates how much cr*p that had beaten me down in life but I've managed to weather the storms, survive and thrive.

Between my wife's bomb and my job loss, I just hope it's not the perfect storm!

Thanks to Greek's apt term, here ("healing to") I just admitted to myself that I haven't been healing to anything.

Rather, my ipod and musical tastes of late (including the song I posted here earlier) can best be described as, well...wallowing.

Well, it's time to change that!

Thank you (again), Greek
