Musik #9: Johnny Cash – Hurt
Veröffentlicht am: 04.11.2023 von Jan Göritz
Ich werde in unregelmäßigen Abständen Songs posten, die auf verschieden Arten und Weisen gut tun: die Mut machen, Kraft geben, die einem das vermitteln, nicht alleine zu sein, die aus „Leid“ „geteiltes Leid“ machen können.
Heute: Johnny Cash.
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’m 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
