What I absolutely love about both this and the Johnny Cash version is how they manage to convey different meanings just based on the voices. Johnny’s raspy and heavy voice tells the story of an old man on his way to the grave reminiscing of past times, especially the bad things. Trent’s soft spoken and distorted voice tells the story of a younger man in his 20s struggling with depression and suicide.
The needle tears a hole. It’s about heroin too and that you stay in the same place when you use something to numb your problems whereas everyone else around you gets promoted, married, vacation family everything and your still stuck with your miserable addiction
As an ex heroin addict, this song resonates. To me it is so obviously about heroin addiction and how self absorbed you become. You feel everything a million times over but will still let everybody down, even though you hate yourself for it. Over & over again. I will let you down, my sweetest friend. 12 months clean now. But this song is really real to me.
yesterday i learnt better... it's not your empire. its the empire of people that treat you like shit. "i will make you hurt"... when you get hit by the truck, you are not the bad part of this story.
@@TheValinov Pretty sure it means that everything we do amount to nothing, no matter our relationships and possessions, they all become dirt in the end, as we fade from consciousness
"You are someone else. - I'm still right here..." hits hard when you get stuck in a dark place for years and see your closest friends growing as people, and managing to naturally move on to different phases of their lives, while you're still running in the same circles you were years ago, only even more hopeless and miserable and lost, and you two are slowly losing things you once had in common, things to talk about, because you're so wrapped up in all the dirt that important months and years flew by empty and you didn't move on anywhere, and in the end feel you're losing your connection and sense of closenes whatsoever, and eventually, you just become distant, awkward, sad aquintances who won't completely let go for good only bc of the distant memory of the good friendship you once had, but are as distant as two people can even be
God, this is exactly why these lines hit so close to home for me... I used to have a really good friend after our trio basically broke up and it was just us two. I mean, they said and did many things that personally hurt my feelings, but regardless, I miss the times we had together. I miss our trio. I miss sleeping over at their houses and going out for shaved ice... But. I pushed them away after I'd heard and been through enough, and my mental health was really bad at the time, too. I think they were secretly glad that we'd stopped talking. It was getting worse anyway. Both our friendship and my mental health. They texted me after I stopped going to school, and acted like they had no idea why I pulled away. It was pretty obvious by then. We'd just stopped having anything in common anymore. I lost their number a long time ago, but I wonder how they're doing now. They're probably in college, maybe have a job right now. And though I've changed, too, I feel like the same person, I haven't done anything with my life.. I just have a diploma and that's it. No job, no friends. Even though what we had was toxic, I miss having any kind of companionship with anybody. And though I hated school, at least it gave me the opportunity to make friends and get out of the house.
This hits different....explaining exactly whats going on for me, but I'm the one thats moving on and my friend is kind of stuck in the past and we lose basically everything we had in common. This hurts so much because it used to be just perfect and I don't want to loose someone i truly care about but now it's just weird everytime we meet...😔
This song talks a lot about how Rick really feels. He hurts himself a lot. I actually have a theory about that.... I'm yet to post it somewhere for discussion.
@@polarbear8682 My theory is that he is on a mental institution. And all that happens in his mind and are memories of his life before he had a mental breakdown (he is a military scientist that had a mental breakdown) and lost a lot... I can tell that because all of the episodes had lots and lots of references about movies, people in the world doesn't seem to care about the absurdities that happens and A LOT OF repeated characters (basically, I guess they are the people in town or of his previous work), and the citadel must be some kind of place where he stashes his personalities... AND his dimension must be his room's number "C-137" as in C being the wing of the hospital he is in and 137 the actual room number. I had this complete here, I'm just looking for a place to post.
This song helped me feel the pain in my heart as an addict, through years of struggling trying to hide the pain. It wasn't untill I embraced the pain untill I learned to defeat it. Ironic how as an addict you spend your life running from the pain, when it's the very thing that will help you change 5 years sober now and thank God for my strength
@@randomperson906 bruh chill ur judgemental ass out being sad over something like this don't make u a pretender and btw don't ever claim to know what the hardest thing in a persons life is that's a good way to get stabbed where I'm from

@@karoleksowa4899 he's probably upset that so many comments on a good, painful song are about an adult comedy show, and though it was a feely moment it wasn't all this song is. that or he's trolling.
True masterpiece. Rick and Morty and Logan used this song so well. They of course changed the version of it and made it fit so well. Shows how good of a song it is.
The distortion in the other versions is intentional. If you felt disturbed by it...well, that was the whole point of this song, to show how disturbed people coping with addiction are.
One of my best friends growing up committed suicide 3 years ago and they played this at his funeral. Every time I hear this, or the Johnny version, it always makes me sad. I really wish he would have said something to me or anybody. RIP Josh. You were an awesome friend that got me through some tough times growing up, wish I could have done the same for you. I miss you buddy.
One of those songs that actually makes me feel worse when I'm down, this entire album is like an abusive relationship. It always makes me miserable in the end although I love and enjoy it.
don't worry , it's not like youre into toxic persons and relationships. Sometimes listening to sad songs, watch sad movies, or playing games with bleak ambience helps to cope with hard situations. I think there are studies about that.
@@leoneguardo905 Listening to the songs made me have a different perspective on my life because they all were angry and depressing and I listened to them constantly so it amplified the problems I was having to the point where it actually had a big impact on my mental health. That might sound ridiculous but I’m not even exaggerating. I guess that’s just how good nine inch nails is.
This man I knew who used to work in the mall with me he loved rick and morty and we became best friends ! ...then I got a message that he has passed away one night and everytime I see or listen to anything of rick and morty I start to cry :/ .. Rest easy Joseph..best security guard I knew ❤️
I must be old. I just enjoy nine inch nails. I'm not here because of a tv show or depression. Trent's work is timeless. Ive been here before, I'm here now and will return in the future.
Your not leaving right ? Yea I am ,to get icecream So your coming back? Morty if you go to where there’s a bunch of icecream and you don’t come back ,you haven’t actually got any icecream ,you’ve just gone where Icecream is
Your not leaving right ? Yea I am ,to find happiness So your coming back? Morty if you go to where there’s a bunch of happiness and you don’t come back ,you haven’t actually got any happiness ,you’ve just gone where happiness is
I like the style of this song, some parts can be a bit depressing, but it's good to hear something that's honest, truthful and something that is serious. There are too many people that constantly joke, then life becomes a joke and it devalues everything.
Ahhhh, this song makes me feel uncomfortable in the best of ways. And the way the last few words completely conflict with the sound of the music, like he's saying "I would do better" and the music is saying "No you wouldn't, you'd fuck it all up all over again". This pleases me.
Now that I watch this again, the fact that the visualizer looks like twitchy muscle bunching up at unpredictable intervals certainly adds to the atmosphere.
This and Johnny Cash's cover of it are both amazing songs, both filled with tons of emotion. It's simply amazing how the two are so different, and yet the same.
I remember listening to this the night my father went into surgery, the panic of not knowing if I would see him again seemed incapsulated in this song.
pillowfeather bruh that’s about self-harm that’s not funny many people cut themself with knifes everyday because they are having a crisis and/or abuse from parents
The distortion at the end of the song is the songs protagonist ending his life. To represent the bullet and all the thoughts racing through his head before he ended his life.
I personally think that The Downward Spiral and The Fragile are different stories with simular outcomes. The Downward Spiral is more depressing, yes but The Fragile is more chaotic and eventful, an emotional Roler Coster that leaves them feeling the same way they felt at the beginning of the album and perhaps even more hopeless. Gone through all of that, just to end up back at the bottom.
Most probably no one will see this comment but I still want to explain. What this song tells and how it tells is very powerful for those who can understand. It actually tells a drug(heroin) addict person speaking to his/her past self. "I" is the addict and "you" is the past self of that person who was not an addict. Lyrics explanation: "I hurt myself today, to see I still feel" The addict is on such an edge that he feels as if he no longer feels anything, so he does heroin which is with a needle and it hurts him. "I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real" Despite extreme unreal feelings of heroin, the addict knows that only thing that is real is pain of the needle. "The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting" The proof of the drug is heroin and he is an addict. "Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything" The drug's effect tries to kill all his past, pain and other feelings, but he abused it so much that it no longer does so he still remembers all of it. "What I have become, my sweetest friend" at this part the sweetest friend is his aforementioned past self. All these actually tells so much with only a few words, his sweetest friend is himself, because he doesnt have anyone closer to him than himself, simply so lonely. He faces the truth of how he became an addict. "Everyone I know, goes away in the end" maybe because of the drug abuse, maybe because of his personality or issues, which is most likely the reason he is an addict, everyone who is around him leaves, he doesn't have anyone, lonely person again. "You could have it all, my empire of dirt, I will let you down, I will make you hurt" He is disapponted at himself from the view of his current and former self. All he has is drug addiction and nothing else, simply dirt. This is the part where all goes so deep. Such talk with his former self... "I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar's chair" again he feels as if he doesn't have anything but shit, and he built it upon his lies, most likely because of drug abuse. "Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair" at this part, he feels suicidal actually because his head is full of suicidal thoughts, which he cannot get rid of. He feels there is no hope. "Beneath stains of time, the feelings disappear" this is the part which tells the other person, his former self. All the time he abused drugs is a stain for him and he didn't have such deep dark feelings before. "You are someone else, I am still right here" at this part he is aware of his own imagination of his former self, and comes back to reality. His past self is someone else, because he changed so much and that past is no longer here, his current real addicted self is here. ...Repeat... "If I can start again, a million miles away, I will keep myself, I will find a way" This is so tough. He is extremely depressed and suicidal as mentioned, thus he wants to leave everything behind and go far far away and start clean. If he could, he wants to keep himself from drugs and find a new happy life. As you noticed in "I will find away" part music goes cringe and loud and that lyrics isn't actually heard properly, becuase he doesn't believe this. Even if he leaves there is no new life or way for him, he has given up completely, at least that is what he feels. Truth be told, I knew this song, but never understood it until I listened as a man which is like the person in the song with minor differences. I experienced similiar things and felt the very same emotions. I wanted to go miles away, but I couldn't. I tried so hard and eventually I have found a way and kept myself. This song still gets me everytime, though I only listen it for nostalgia of the worst days of my life, hopefully they will stay as the worst. Luckily, I cand see such a masterpiece of art, nine inch literally put their "soul" into this song, made me cry a lot of times in the past and even now. Despite the sad sad song, for all of you who has been suffering from depression or drug abuse, don't give up there is always a way and there is always hope. Never forget, as a wise man once said: "There are no hopeless situations, there are hopeless people." Don't become one. Fight for yourself and your loved ones. As years pass I guarentee, you will regret nothing.
Well, I saw it. I respect your deep analysis of this song. Though I never interpreted it like that, your version does make plenty of sense. Like you, this is one for me to put on when I feel nostalgic for the worst parts of my life. Nice to hear I'm not the only one. I'm glad you're doing better now. Every sober day is a blessing.
push life with your all. If you don't have dreams then create new dreams and chase them. If you don't have people in your life, go outside and make connections. Have faith, give YOUR ALL
was you ever on my bus ? the one that says let (ter)'s go home . strange thing is it gets diverted then you look out the window and you notice there's no stops to get on or off . you have no clue where it's going . Dr eams
This whole song just calms me down, I've had depression for a long time. This song is 90% relatable 10% sad to me...I will do anything to convince my friends to listen to this.
A long time I tried to avoid songs like this, cause I thought music caused my depression, now I know it don't come from the music but from my family and now these songs are the only thing that soothes my pain, I wish luck to everybody who feels same.
I see some comments mentioning the end of the song and feeling it is out of place. "The loud ass guitar at the end" ... Music is always a subjective thing but to me, that loud ass guitar is there because those words he is saying, that he would find a way if he could do it all over again...are bullshit and he knows it. Actually, if you really pay attention to the song, you'll notice every instrument is getting more distorted and pounding harder and harder as the song goes on. To my mind, this represents how the addict has a way of telling themselves and all of those still trying to love them how they will stop using...but they don't...and thats why in the end, they often give up on trying and the loved ones go away. Its sort of like the rock bottom...of rock bottom...and the worst part is...he knows its his fault, and he knows he needs to stop...but the guilt of letting them down...and all the weight of all the lies...puts the needle back in place...to kill it all away...again. Truly, a downward spiral. (hence the album name perhaps?) A vicious cycle of repeated lies continuously adding to his empire of dirt. And you can have it all because he doesn't want it anymore...yet he can't bring himself to stop. I think that blaring, gut punching sound is representative of those lies he is telling again from his liars chair. The internal realization that he is even lying to himself inside his own head and that dark sense of hopelessness is brought out into reality as a harsh, reverberating, uncomfortable riff, meant to knock you in the teeth and leave the bitter taste of just how destructive addiction can be...especially when the user knows damn well they will use again just as soon as they can get more. You know it...and he knows it...and it was all together intentional to leave the song hanging in that place where the hope of recovery feels a million miles away. This song comes from a very dark place. But, thats just my take on it of course. Perhaps your's is much different and its just a song to you. For me it puts me back in a place where a girl I knew for years and years came to the end of her life. She made so many promises and had so many who loved her and wanted so desperately to help her...only to inevitably end up like so many others before her. It hurts.
I don't know if anyone will ever read this but, I want to tell the story of my friend. She was a beautiful girl. 5'10" Dirty blonde hair. Light blue eyes. A true natural beauty, she never wore makeup. She had a very cute amount of freckles in just the right places on her cheeks. Always stayed skinny. She had very long legs and a great shape but she always wore baggy clothes and kept her hair up. She was just one of those awkward girls who never felt pretty even though she was and got plenty of attention. Her addiction was a few years in when I first saw her again after years of no contact. Even then, I didn't go talk to her. But, she noticed me and I noticed her and I could tell she knew that I could see it on her. I could just tell, but I kept on about my way and left her with a half a smile and a nod from across a gas station parking lot. I was getting in my car and she was heading into the store. It wasn't until about a year later that I heard of her from a friend who was trying to help her parents find her. I didn't know anything about where she might be but they had been looking for days and finally come to find she had died of a heroin overdose. She died in a terrible place surrounded by terrible people. She hadn't had a job for a long time so its easy to figure out how a pretty girl like her was feeding her addiction. It breaks my heart to type that out. They were all too high and too scared to call anyone for hours and hours while she laid there and they continued to shoot up heroin in another room because they didn't want to be brought down by the dead girl. That is such a sad fucking thing to tell you about, it brings tears to my eyes. But knowing what I knew of her, it wasn't a selfish addiction problem. It was the guilt. The weight of the lies and the promises and the mistakes she'd made and the things she'd done. Her parents were very loving and kind. I learned later that she had been in a rehab center several times. Heroin addiction is just a very terrible thing. It can ruin even the best of people. Now, I am not writing this here to put any blame on my friend or to exploit the horrible way she left this earth. I just have a tiny hope that maybe someone might come across this story, listen to this song and realize how dark a place many addicts find themselves in. How the hopelessness sets in and takes hold. How those closest to them just may not have the understanding necessary to get through to them in a meaningful way. How maybe a familiar face of an old friend might make the right kind of difference before it's too late. Nothing is heavier than being very aware of your own mistakes and sometimes, living in that space with the additional weight of people who want to help can become a constant reminder of that guilt and those mistakes...I can see how it could feel impossible to overcome...with the only comfort they know coming from the end of a needle. What might I have been able to change had I went and talked to her? Had I taken the time, might she be alive today? Of course there is no answer to that question and its very possible her fate would have been what it was regardless of who tried to talk with her but....there was a chance there and I drove away. So, with all that said and if you made it this far....if you know of someone struggling with addiction. Go to them with empathy. Talk to them about how to break it down into tiny steps and keep it positive. Help them move passed the guilt of all the mistakes they've made. We all make mistakes. Hers is just one story. I could tell a couple more just from people I grew up with but this is a problem nobody in today's society likes to talk about much. Even though it is very real and very widespread and kills many thousands. Not just heroin but oxy and meth and even alcohol. Addiction is awful. It hurts more than the addict and they know that all too well. Thanks for reading if you made it all the way through my book. I miss my friend and I carry guilt for not talking to her that day. Don't be like me if you know someone, just try. Its worth trying to help. :(
@@NMayhem its not just that sort of addiction, same addiction i carry that literally destroyed my life, from being a A+ student, to a dropout. That addiction is called gaming.

Sorry about your friend btw.
Thanks for the read, very powerful words man. But please don't blame yourself, that won't change the past. We all only can help ourselves, no one else can unfortunately. God bless you my friend

@@slugwoman Opioids dude, mostly oxycodone. Once they get their damned claws in, it's so hard to pry them out. I'm going in for treatment in a couple of days (after I dodged a bullet last week with an OD). Your comment is so accurate. I think of all the time and money I've wasted, but also the EFFORT, you know ? The effort I put into chasing that evil shit when I could have been doing productive things. I felt I had a great life and so much potential, and when I look back, I probably did. Now I just feel like, damn, why did I do this ? How was I so naive and stupid ? Its got me real down my friend. Real down. Are you in treatment dude ? When's the last time you used ? Where I live coke is really expensive, I've never even tried it actually.
@@Golimetry Just wanted to chime in that I relate so much to your comment! Been trying to quit all sorts of drugs and finally got off heroin recently, still in withdrawal. All these thoughts running through my head, it's pretty mindblowing how opiates slowly just seep the life out of ya, you know? Hope you too get better soon and can live an awesome life! It is possible to reverse most damages if the brain is left to heal (a few years tops)! Peace and love!
Having lost two of my best friends in the last 10 years the "everyone I know goes away in the end" part always brings tears to my eyes. This song is a masterpiece that can only be appreciated by those who are broken inside.
Lmao all these people who dont realize the distortion was placed in on purpose that only plays with headphones. Try the whole album, itll make more sense
@@ryanv3841 It gives the song a grittier feeling and (in the context of the story of TDS) conveys the emptiness and lack of hope the protagonist feels. But sure, on the surface it made the song "edgier"

That version of the song hurts more than the Johnny Cash version to me because of the eerie crackling sounds, out of tune sound and the overall vibe, as someone diagnosed with depression, this song gives you a glimpse as to why i experience in my head and many others
Same here, I've reached the point where I feel like I've become a dysfunctional failure and may continue to stay that way. I'm still young and in school so I could still improve myself and my life but I'm still in a lot of pain.
Hi there, and welcome to another episode of "Who's More Insufferable?"! On tonight's show, we pit the Rick and Morty fandom against NIN fans to see which one has less of a point. Stay tuned for the thrilling results!
I almost took my life a week ago and could not get this song out of my head as I was in hospital. Trent's voice reminds me of a man I've loved since High School. I cry *every* time. Without fail.
I love the Johnny Cash version. At that time I was a teenager and, in my ignorance, I was dazzled by the force it transmits, with all that experience of a life expressed there. Now that I'm in my mid-thirties, I recently heard it on the Rick and Morty show and ... Hell! I knew it was a dark song, but it gave me a whole new sense of what I like about this song. Thank you very much!
I don’t want to make you sad. I don’t want to hear about the amazing other people who you’d rather be with. I just wanted things to work out for once. but I’m too scared. I will let you down.
I love the song, NIN version is sublime, but I think Johnny Cash version will always have a place in my heart. NIN's masterpiece gave Johnny Cash the perfect swan song to his life and career.
Or smile and crack jokes about just about everything to make those around laugh, but inside you don't feel anything at all. Not happy, sad, anger.. just nothing knowing nothing matters. Physically hurting yourself just to feel SOMETHING
I just started watching Rick and Morty, just finished the season 2, that last scene really got me. Good thing there is only a few more months to go for season 3, I couldn't imagine waiting 1 year and a half for it to come back! #FreeRick #RIPBirdperson
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
This song reminds me of all the terrible actions I've done and the people I have lost over the years... Its good to release my repressed emotions though..
i used to listen to this song with my dad and when i heard it on rick and morty i couldnt place it... but then my dad played it again after years and it felt like coming home. such a timeless, beautiful song
*Rick and Phoenix person start fighting* Rick: sorry buddy... you asked for it.. RAAGH *Rick shoots Phoenix person's wing and throws him off a building* Rick: GOD DAMN IT TAMMY!! AAUGH!!!!
@@alexdeheart3936 this songs meaning is about coping with addiction so some people relate to this song and i just want them to remember they are loved even how hard they have it in life
To anyone who has hurt themselves: It is hard, but cutting, hiring of burning marks onto your body isn't going to help. I know what it is like to feel so much pain that the only way you think there is left to alleviate it is to harm yourself. And on the flip side, I also know what it feels like to feel numb, like there is nothing left for you. I feel like killing myself every day. You are not alone. But we need to get through this. Together. You can't do this alone. You are not alone. There is always someone to talk to. Don't let your ending be like this. You can survive. Please, for me, for your friends, for your family, for you Rself.
Hey man, sometimes being solo is the best. Try going to the gym, play some video games, yk whatever keeps you busy. We were alll born alone and we die alone
When i was younger.. i heard this play in my dad's truck.. it was an etching feeling of depression, trust issues, anxiety, the mental pain and agony of losing someone dearest to you, the realization you were just abandoned by someone you feel like you would be able to rely and trust. Now that i look back at this.. it hurts to realize how much can go over a few years .. matter a fact even probably a week. The feeling of knowing how most people even feel about you. It's like to notice the nostalgia you've had when young. The realization of the lovers you've lost. It hurts to know the truth about looking back. Pain, guilt, and burned up memories. It just happens so fast. The shortest amount of time your life just crumbles..
What I absolutely love about both this and the Johnny Cash version is how they manage to convey different meanings just based on the voices. Johnny’s raspy and heavy voice tells the story of an old man on his way to the grave reminiscing of past times, especially the bad things. Trent’s soft spoken and distorted voice tells the story of a younger man in his 20s struggling with depression and suicide.
More like a meth addiction and depression.
The needle tears a hole. It’s about heroin too and that you stay in the same place when you use something to numb your problems whereas everyone else around you gets promoted, married, vacation family everything and your still stuck with your miserable addiction
@@JesseStevenTrumm3992 "You are someone else... I'm still right here."
As an ex heroin addict, this song resonates. To me it is so obviously about heroin addiction and how self absorbed you become. You feel everything a million times over but will still let everybody down, even though you hate yourself for it. Over & over again. I will let you down, my sweetest friend.
12 months clean now. But this song is really real to me.
@@marktunnicliffe2495 bro, mad respect to you. Chemical addiction is no joke. I hope you are doing well now
The way the song swells up with "and you can have it all, my empire of dirt" is unsurpsassed, it's been 15 years and that still hits me like a truck
yesterday i learnt better... it's not your empire. its the empire of people that treat you like shit. "i will make you hurt"... when you get hit by the truck, you are not the bad part of this story.
@@TheValinov Pretty sure it means that everything we do amount to nothing, no matter our relationships and possessions, they all become dirt in the end, as we fade from consciousness
“Everyone I know goes away in the end” is the part that gets me
This is what makes the song.. the mounting tension.
1995 was a lot longer than 15 years ago.
"You are someone else.
- I'm still right here..."
hits hard when you get stuck in a dark place for years and see your closest friends growing as people, and managing to naturally move on to different phases of their lives, while you're still running in the same circles you were years ago, only even more hopeless and miserable and lost, and you two are slowly losing things you once had in common, things to talk about, because you're so wrapped up in all the dirt that important months and years flew by empty and you didn't move on anywhere, and in the end feel you're losing your connection and sense of closenes whatsoever, and eventually, you just become distant, awkward, sad aquintances who won't completely let go for good only bc of the distant memory of the good friendship you once had, but are as distant as two people can even be
God, this is exactly why these lines hit so close to home for me... I used to have a really good friend after our trio basically broke up and it was just us two. I mean, they said and did many things that personally hurt my feelings, but regardless, I miss the times we had together. I miss our trio. I miss sleeping over at their houses and going out for shaved ice... But. I pushed them away after I'd heard and been through enough, and my mental health was really bad at the time, too. I think they were secretly glad that we'd stopped talking. It was getting worse anyway. Both our friendship and my mental health. They texted me after I stopped going to school, and acted like they had no idea why I pulled away. It was pretty obvious by then. We'd just stopped having anything in common anymore. I lost their number a long time ago, but I wonder how they're doing now. They're probably in college, maybe have a job right now. And though I've changed, too, I feel like the same person, I haven't done anything with my life.. I just have a diploma and that's it. No job, no friends. Even though what we had was toxic, I miss having any kind of companionship with anybody. And though I hated school, at least it gave me the opportunity to make friends and get out of the house.
Damn.
This hits different....explaining exactly whats going on for me, but I'm the one thats moving on and my friend is kind of stuck in the past and we lose basically everything we had in common. This hurts so much because it used to be just perfect and I don't want to loose someone i truly care about but now it's just weird everytime we meet...😔
Sadly this is me, but i will fight to change all this.
why is it so perfectly detailed?
“He’s not coming back, is he”
That line really hit me. Just the sadness you could hear in beth’s voice.
exactlyy... but the most heartbreaking thing was the fact that he actually gave himself up to save Beth and her family.
This song talks a lot about how Rick really feels. He hurts himself a lot. I actually have a theory about that.... I'm yet to post it somewhere for discussion.
@@vinikampferherzbarros27 intriguing
@@polarbear8682 My theory is that he is on a mental institution. And all that happens in his mind and are memories of his life before he had a mental breakdown (he is a military scientist that had a mental breakdown) and lost a lot... I can tell that because all of the episodes had lots and lots of references about movies, people in the world doesn't seem to care about the absurdities that happens and A LOT OF repeated characters (basically, I guess they are the people in town or of his previous work), and the citadel must be some kind of place where he stashes his personalities... AND his dimension must be his room's number "C-137" as in C being the wing of the hospital he is in and 137 the actual room number. I had this complete here, I'm just looking for a place to post.

One of those songs that actually makes me feel worse when I'm down, this entire album is like an abusive relationship. It always makes me miserable in the end although I love and enjoy it.
don't worry , it's not like youre into toxic persons and relationships. Sometimes listening to sad songs, watch sad movies, or playing games with bleak ambience helps to cope with hard situations. I think there are studies about that.

I like the style of this song, some parts can be a bit depressing, but it's good to hear something that's honest, truthful and something that is serious. There are too many people that constantly joke, then life becomes a joke and it devalues everything.
Ahhhh, this song makes me feel uncomfortable in the best of ways. And the way the last few words completely conflict with the sound of the music, like he's saying "I would do better" and the music is saying "No you wouldn't, you'd fuck it all up all over again". This pleases me.
Ruby Nights Life itself is full of contradictions like this .
Now that I watch this again, the fact that the visualizer looks like twitchy muscle bunching up at unpredictable intervals certainly adds to the atmosphere.
Cool ass bastard well thats sums up the song in a nutshell
Hello from future
this is one of the few non-live versions on youtube i could find that doesn't have awful distortion in the left ear
aye, though the distortion was probably intentional as that is how it is on the album.
it is sort of an irritant
It gave me a headache for sure.
I thought it was my headphones, Im glad I wasnt the only one. Even the rick and morty episode had it... Weird
Its the quiet version of Hurt.
This and Johnny Cash's cover of it are both amazing songs, both filled with tons of emotion. It's simply amazing how the two are so different, and yet the same.

The distortion at the end of the song is the songs protagonist ending his life. To represent the bullet and all the thoughts racing through his head before he ended his life.
wait, really?
Wtf ,no
@Nurdasake who tried suicide
I read somewhere that the protagonist shot the gun in the song preceding this one, with this song being the protagonist's final thoughts before dying.
I personally think that The Downward Spiral and The Fragile are different stories with simular outcomes.
The Downward Spiral is more depressing, yes but The Fragile is more chaotic and eventful, an emotional Roler Coster that leaves them feeling the same way they felt at the beginning of the album and perhaps even more hopeless. Gone through all of that, just to end up back at the bottom.
Most probably no one will see this comment but I still want to explain. What this song tells and how it tells is very powerful for those who can understand. It actually tells a drug(heroin) addict person speaking to his/her past self. "I" is the addict and "you" is the past self of that person who was not an addict. Lyrics explanation:
"I hurt myself today, to see I still feel" The addict is on such an edge that he feels as if he no longer feels anything, so he does heroin which is with a needle and it hurts him.
"I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real" Despite extreme unreal feelings of heroin, the addict knows that only thing that is real is pain of the needle.
"The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting"
The proof of the drug is heroin and he is an addict.
"Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything" The drug's effect tries to kill all his past, pain and other feelings, but he abused it so much that it no longer does so he still remembers all of it.
"What I have become, my sweetest friend" at this part the sweetest friend is his aforementioned past self. All these actually tells so much with only a few words, his sweetest friend is himself, because he doesnt have anyone closer to him than himself, simply so lonely. He faces the truth of how he became an addict.
"Everyone I know, goes away in the end" maybe because of the drug abuse, maybe because of his personality or issues, which is most likely the reason he is an addict, everyone who is around him leaves, he doesn't have anyone, lonely person again.
"You could have it all, my empire of dirt, I will let you down, I will make you hurt" He is disapponted at himself from the view of his current and former self. All he has is drug addiction and nothing else, simply dirt. This is the part where all goes so deep. Such talk with his former self...
"I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar's chair" again he feels as if he doesn't have anything but shit, and he built it upon his lies, most likely because of drug abuse.
"Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair" at this part, he feels suicidal actually because his head is full of suicidal thoughts, which he cannot get rid of. He feels there is no hope.
"Beneath stains of time, the feelings disappear" this is the part which tells the other person, his former self. All the time he abused drugs is a stain for him and he didn't have such deep dark feelings before.
"You are someone else, I am still right here" at this part he is aware of his own imagination of his former self, and comes back to reality. His past self is someone else, because he changed so much and that past is no longer here, his current real addicted self is here.
...Repeat...
"If I can start again, a million miles away, I will keep myself, I will find a way" This is so tough. He is extremely depressed and suicidal as mentioned, thus he wants to leave everything behind and go far far away and start clean. If he could, he wants to keep himself from drugs and find a new happy life. As you noticed in "I will find away" part music goes cringe and loud and that lyrics isn't actually heard properly, becuase he doesn't believe this. Even if he leaves there is no new life or way for him, he has given up completely, at least that is what he feels.
Truth be told, I knew this song, but never understood it until I listened as a man which is like the person in the song with minor differences. I experienced similiar things and felt the very same emotions. I wanted to go miles away, but I couldn't. I tried so hard and eventually I have found a way and kept myself. This song still gets me everytime, though I only listen it for nostalgia of the worst days of my life, hopefully they will stay as the worst. Luckily, I cand see such a masterpiece of art, nine inch literally put their "soul" into this song, made me cry a lot of times in the past and even now. Despite the sad sad song, for all of you who has been suffering from depression or drug abuse, don't give up there is always a way and there is always hope. Never forget, as a wise man once said: "There are no hopeless situations, there are hopeless people." Don't become one. Fight for yourself and your loved ones. As years pass I guarentee, you will regret nothing.
Damn
Well, I saw it. I respect your deep analysis of this song. Though I never interpreted it like that, your version does make plenty of sense. Like you, this is one for me to put on when I feel nostalgic for the worst parts of my life. Nice to hear I'm not the only one. I'm glad you're doing better now. Every sober day is a blessing.
The song is about self destruction, nothing more nothing less. But your interpretation is good.
thank you.

Uh... OK.
This whole song just calms me down, I've had depression for a long time. This song is 90% relatable 10% sad to me...I will do anything to convince my friends to listen to this.
A long time I tried to avoid songs like this, cause I thought music caused my depression, now I know it don't come from the music but from my family and now these songs are the only thing that soothes my pain, I wish luck to everybody who feels same.
NIN's version and Cash's version... So different, yet still both so good...
True, both versions are wonderful, eventhough they are completely different.
I see some comments mentioning the end of the song and feeling it is out of place. "The loud ass guitar at the end" ...
Music is always a subjective thing but to me, that loud ass guitar is there because those words he is saying, that he would find a way if he could do it all over again...are bullshit and he knows it.
Actually, if you really pay attention to the song, you'll notice every instrument is getting more distorted and pounding harder and harder as the song goes on.
To my mind, this represents how the addict has a way of telling themselves and all of those still trying to love them how they will stop using...but they don't...and thats why in the end, they often give up on trying and the loved ones go away.
Its sort of like the rock bottom...of rock bottom...and the worst part is...he knows its his fault, and he knows he needs to stop...but the guilt of letting them down...and all the weight of all the lies...puts the needle back in place...to kill it all away...again.
Truly, a downward spiral. (hence the album name perhaps?) A vicious cycle of repeated lies continuously adding to his empire of dirt. And you can have it all because he doesn't want it anymore...yet he can't bring himself to stop.
I think that blaring, gut punching sound is representative of those lies he is telling again from his liars chair. The internal realization that he is even lying to himself inside his own head and that dark sense of hopelessness is brought out into reality as a harsh, reverberating, uncomfortable riff, meant to knock you in the teeth and leave the bitter taste of just how destructive addiction can be...especially when the user knows damn well they will use again just as soon as they can get more.
You know it...and he knows it...and it was all together intentional to leave the song hanging in that place where the hope of recovery feels a million miles away.
This song comes from a very dark place.
But, thats just my take on it of course. Perhaps your's is much different and its just a song to you. For me it puts me back in a place where a girl I knew for years and years came to the end of her life. She made so many promises and had so many who loved her and wanted so desperately to help her...only to inevitably end up like so many others before her.
It hurts.
I don't know if anyone will ever read this but, I want to tell the story of my friend.
She was a beautiful girl. 5'10" Dirty blonde hair. Light blue eyes. A true natural beauty, she never wore makeup. She had a very cute amount of freckles in just the right places on her cheeks. Always stayed skinny. She had very long legs and a great shape but she always wore baggy clothes and kept her hair up. She was just one of those awkward girls who never felt pretty even though she was and got plenty of attention.
Her addiction was a few years in when I first saw her again after years of no contact. Even then, I didn't go talk to her. But, she noticed me and I noticed her and I could tell she knew that I could see it on her. I could just tell, but I kept on about my way and left her with a half a smile and a nod from across a gas station parking lot. I was getting in my car and she was heading into the store.
It wasn't until about a year later that I heard of her from a friend who was trying to help her parents find her. I didn't know anything about where she might be but they had been looking for days and finally come to find she had died of a heroin overdose. She died in a terrible place surrounded by terrible people. She hadn't had a job for a long time so its easy to figure out how a pretty girl like her was feeding her addiction. It breaks my heart to type that out. They were all too high and too scared to call anyone for hours and hours while she laid there and they continued to shoot up heroin in another room because they didn't want to be brought down by the dead girl.
That is such a sad fucking thing to tell you about, it brings tears to my eyes.
But knowing what I knew of her, it wasn't a selfish addiction problem. It was the guilt. The weight of the lies and the promises and the mistakes she'd made and the things she'd done. Her parents were very loving and kind. I learned later that she had been in a rehab center several times.
Heroin addiction is just a very terrible thing. It can ruin even the best of people.
Now, I am not writing this here to put any blame on my friend or to exploit the horrible way she left this earth. I just have a tiny hope that maybe someone might come across this story, listen to this song and realize how dark a place many addicts find themselves in. How the hopelessness sets in and takes hold. How those closest to them just may not have the understanding necessary to get through to them in a meaningful way. How maybe a familiar face of an old friend might make the right kind of difference before it's too late.
Nothing is heavier than being very aware of your own mistakes and sometimes, living in that space with the additional weight of people who want to help can become a constant reminder of that guilt and those mistakes...I can see how it could feel impossible to overcome...with the only comfort they know coming from the end of a needle.
What might I have been able to change had I went and talked to her? Had I taken the time, might she be alive today?
Of course there is no answer to that question and its very possible her fate would have been what it was regardless of who tried to talk with her but....there was a chance there and I drove away.
So, with all that said and if you made it this far....if you know of someone struggling with addiction. Go to them with empathy. Talk to them about how to break it down into tiny steps and keep it positive. Help them move passed the guilt of all the mistakes they've made. We all make mistakes.
Hers is just one story. I could tell a couple more just from people I grew up with but this is a problem nobody in today's society likes to talk about much. Even though it is very real and very widespread and kills many thousands. Not just heroin but oxy and meth and even alcohol.
Addiction is awful. It hurts more than the addict and they know that all too well.
Thanks for reading if you made it all the way through my book. I miss my friend and I carry guilt for not talking to her that day. Don't be like me if you know someone, just try. Its worth trying to help. :(

@Johnnie Walker Love both of them
Distortion And Pain Are What I Love About Trent's Version.
i heard that "hurt" was actually Cash's last song he recorded before he died in 2002(?). I believe his wife June Carter is still alive actually. Either that or she died recently.
@@davidfitzpatrick4254 No, his wife died before him. He died 1 or 2 months after.
Drug addiction songs always bang harder than any other song, almost makes it worth the money we waste and the destroyed relationships
What's your DOC ?
@@Golimetry coke! What's yours?
@@slugwoman Opioids dude, mostly oxycodone. Once they get their damned claws in, it's so hard to pry them out. I'm going in for treatment in a couple of days (after I dodged a bullet last week with an OD). Your comment is so accurate. I think of all the time and money I've wasted, but also the EFFORT, you know ? The effort I put into chasing that evil shit when I could have been doing productive things. I felt I had a great life and so much potential, and when I look back, I probably did. Now I just feel like, damn, why did I do this ? How was I so naive and stupid ?
Its got me real down my friend. Real down.
Are you in treatment dude ? When's the last time you used ?
Where I live coke is really expensive, I've never even tried it actually.
@@Golimetry Just wanted to chime in that I relate so much to your comment! Been trying to quit all sorts of drugs and finally got off heroin recently, still in withdrawal. All these thoughts running through my head, it's pretty mindblowing how opiates slowly just seep the life out of ya, you know?
Hope you too get better soon and can live an awesome life! It is possible to reverse most damages if the brain is left to heal (a few years tops)!
Peace and love!
Wow you must be really depressed :0
Every line in this resonates with a part of me. A part of me I want to forget.
I am trying to forget but it will stay with me for a long time
Having lost two of my best friends in the last 10 years the "everyone I know goes away in the end" part always brings tears to my eyes.
This song is a masterpiece that can only be appreciated by those who are broken inside.
I understand (and I feel) you.
Lmao all these people who dont realize the distortion was placed in on purpose that only plays with headphones. Try the whole album, itll make more sense
ViolentSh4de why would there be deliberate distortion?
@@ryanv3841 why not. its edgy
@@ryanv3841 It gives the song a grittier feeling and (in the context of the story of TDS) conveys the emptiness and lack of hope the protagonist feels.
But sure, on the surface it made the song "edgier"
It still sucked
@@ryanv3841 >
Not familiar with the work of Trent Reznor, then? Asking why there would be deliberate distortion in a NIN song is like asking why there's so many guns on this battleship.
Verses: johnny cash
Chorus:this version
Both versions are good but express things differently. Someone said this is a young man at rock bottom and Cash's was an old man looking back on life.
@@alexanderfrasco3698 thats weird because if you listened to the downward spiral than there are a few lines that indicate that he hates any religion and that he thinks that religion is the caus of most of our problems.
@Alexander Frasco it's def not, even though he uses the theme as metaphors a little
Both have their strenghts but instrumentals NiN >>> Johny Cash's version imo.
I actually like the chorus better, he raises his voice to show the pain
“I will make you hurt”
when i lost every friend i had
:( sad
Same I don’t even have no friends I’m 20
i have alot of friends but i had to lose some friends who acted like assholes to me and i was friendzoned twice
But i still have friends who are there for me
LOL
That version of the song hurts more than the Johnny Cash version to me because of the eerie crackling sounds, out of tune sound and the overall vibe, as someone diagnosed with depression, this song gives you a glimpse as to why i experience in my head and many others
Depression is key word there for me
😔
I am at the point when I loop this song for whole day
asdfghjkl zxcvbnm i hope you are better now friend..
@@jessedesouzamartinsdasilvi6132 you too my man
Bless it, I am right there with you. Not sure what I have become.
Same here, I've reached the point where I feel like I've become a dysfunctional failure and may continue to stay that way. I'm still young and in school so I could still improve myself and my life but I'm still in a lot of pain.
Same :(
"crown of shit" nice to see someone made the original version

Hi there, and welcome to another episode of "Who's More Insufferable?"! On tonight's show, we pit the Rick and Morty fandom against NIN fans to see which one has less of a point. Stay tuned for the thrilling results!
You both win.
A close match
"3 months, and a huge 7 likes, Tony. This is clearly a hot button issue. I can only hope that someone, somewhere will become our number 8"

@@genevievesmith9744 u win
Listening to this after finishing Bojack horseman is a real mood.
Man, that final cuts deep.
I almost took my life a week ago and could not get this song out of my head as I was in hospital. Trent's voice reminds me of a man I've loved since High School. I cry *every* time. Without fail.
Elaborate on this “almost”
I love the Johnny Cash version. At that time I was a teenager and, in my ignorance, I was dazzled by the force it transmits, with all that experience of a life expressed there. Now that I'm in my mid-thirties, I recently heard it on the Rick and Morty show and ... Hell! I knew it was a dark song, but it gave me a whole new sense of what I like about this song.
Thank you very much!
I wouldn't say it better myself
“Hey what are you in for?”
“Everything…”
The best line I’ve ever heard🥶.

@Rafael Suprayogi but its not that much catchy
@@selcuk1479 I'm back, what did I reply I again?
I don’t want to make you sad.
I don’t want to hear about the amazing other people who you’d rather be with.
I just wanted things to work out for once.
but I’m too scared.
I will let you down.
This is just so hauntingly beautiful
Truths
I love the song, NIN version is sublime, but I think Johnny Cash version will always have a place in my heart. NIN's masterpiece gave Johnny Cash the perfect swan song to his life and career.
This was my moms favorite song. She died recently. This is the song I played for her funeral.
; (
take care men
I know how it feels man. Sorry for ur loss
Did you just talk to yourself?
my mother passed away on the 22nd of November, just before Thanksgiving. i know what you're going through man. hang in there!

when you realize how depressed you really are because one day you wake up and just feel meaningless and want to go back to bed and never wake up
Thats the point of suicide
I alwYs thoght he failed his attemptent and got better hence the lyrics if i could find a way start again
Or smile and crack jokes about just about everything to make those around laugh, but inside you don't feel anything at all. Not happy, sad, anger.. just nothing knowing nothing matters. Physically hurting yourself just to feel SOMETHING
Hey, if you need to talk about, I'm here for you ❤️
BIG BAD LUKE hey are you okay ? If you want to talk to somebody don‘t hesitate to reach out! Hope your comment wasnt meant seriously
I just started watching Rick and Morty, just finished the season 2, that last scene really got me. Good thing there is only a few more months to go for season 3, I couldn't imagine waiting 1 year and a half for it to come back! #FreeRick #RIPBirdperson
Hidden Knowledge 2 years btw I hated waiting now s3 is over and waiting again fml
that is an amazing scene. ive only seen the first like 6 episodes of season 3 but its not nearly as good
Hidden Knowledge same
you can't simply get two top comments
Season 3 was weaker than the previous ones. The citadel episode was great, though.
Sounds like they recorded this on the verge of crying and I feel the same way
That piano is played so fucking amazingly
I agree

:D
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
DarkSoulpony did you just put the lyrics of the song on a version of the song that alredy includes the lyrics???
Lmao so pointless
DarkSoulpony a
@@James-dq7oi Not pointless to me. I do not hear very well so this was a big help to me. Thanks DarkSoulpony.
@@marciareed3403 yeah but the lyrics are in the video
This song reminds me of all the terrible actions I've done and the people I have lost over the years... Its good to release my repressed emotions though..
finally, someone who gets the song!
i used to listen to this song with my dad and when i heard it on rick and morty i couldnt place it... but then my dad played it again after years and it felt like coming home. such a timeless, beautiful song
Tammy will get what is coming to her. #Squanch
You took away the beloved birdperson!

To anyone who has hurt themselves:
It is hard, but cutting, hiring of burning marks onto your body isn't going to help. I know what it is like to feel so much pain that the only way you think there is left to alleviate it is to harm yourself. And on the flip side, I also know what it feels like to feel numb, like there is nothing left for you. I feel like killing myself every day. You are not alone. But we need to get through this. Together. You can't do this alone. You are not alone. There is always someone to talk to. Don't let your ending be like this. You can survive. Please, for me, for your friends, for your family, for you Rself.

Hey man, sometimes being solo is the best. Try going to the gym, play some video games, yk whatever keeps you busy. We were alll born alone and we die alone
Used to drink alone for hours while listening to this song, never thought a song could be capable of that.

3% making that percentage thing including me X)
So true :)
Both versions are powerful; but for me, Trent's is aging way, way, better. Trent, this is still your song, bro.
When i was younger.. i heard this play in my dad's truck.. it was an etching feeling of depression, trust issues, anxiety, the mental pain and agony of losing someone dearest to you, the realization you were just abandoned by someone you feel like you would be able to rely and trust. Now that i look back at this.. it hurts to realize how much can go over a few years .. matter a fact even probably a week. The feeling of knowing how most people even feel about you. It's like to notice the nostalgia you've had when young. The realization of the lovers you've lost. It hurts to know the truth about looking back. Pain, guilt, and burned up memories. It just happens so fast. The shortest amount of time your life just crumbles..
