Loren Wince, guitarist Michael Roberts, bassist Rek Mohr, and drummer Victor Ribas.

Many of the songs from these albums found their way onto their first two major label releases, and The Consumation was re-mastered as The Re-Consumation in 2008.

2. Hurt formed in Wrocław, Poland and debuted in 1994 with a tape titled "Babilon". In 1997 they released a live album "Serki dietetyczne". At that time they were a little known, some would say underground band. All that started to change when the biggest independent label in Poland became interested in them and so came the cd for SP Records called "Musisz to kupić" (1999). After that record the band got their first drummer, before that they played with automatic percussion. You can still hear it in their style.
After that follwed another cd "Dokładny czas". (2000)
Then the group stopped touring for a while and almost put an end to it's existence. However, after some personnal changes they've returned in 2005 with "Czat" contaning the hit "Załoga G" and started touring more then usual. In summer 2006 Hurt toured with happysad.

Alone With the Sea
Hurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where anyone who saw it
Grew old with the sea
So we were terrified of water
And of all the sons and daughters
No one dared to see
On the banks of the coastline
I tracked a bleeding loved one
And the saltiest of waters
'cause apparently they faltered
Never again to be seen
So I cry, I tried
I cried, I scry
This old warship has wounds and
It won't sail for nothin'
An old sailor said to me
And I was foolish not to listen
And paid such close conscription
All the lies I believed
"but if you lend me some more labor
And put your name on paper
We just might catch a breeze"
I know now he was not a captain
And because of all my actions
I grow alone with the sea
I have strangely become immune
To the thought of seeing you
And the smell of cheap perfume
With all the liquor I've consumed
There's no more beauty in this world
There's no more beauty in this world
Because I've strangely become immune
To the thought of seeing you
And the smell of cheap perfume
With all the liquor I've consumed
There's no more beauty in this
There's no more beauty in this
There's no more beauty in this world
Because I've strangely become immune
To the thought of seeing you
And the smell of cheap perfume
Is just a ring around the moon
There's no more beauty in this
There's no more beauty in this
There's no more beauty in this world
I try, I cried
I tried, I scry
There's no more beauty in this
There's no more beauty in this
There's no more beauty in this world
In the song Alone With the Sea, Hurt sings about a mysterious old ocean that people are scared of. Anyone who sees it grows old with the sea. Hence, people become afraid of water and don't dare to go close to it. The lyrics are poignant and evoke a sense of loneliness and emptiness. The singer then talks about tracking a bleeding loved one on the coastline and finding out that he has disappeared never to be seen again. The singer cries and tries to find him but to no avail.
The song then shifts to talk about an old warship with wounds that won't sail for anything. The singer recalls an old sailor who advised him not to lend any labor and put his name on paper. The singer foolishly didn't listen and paid the price. He admits to growing alone with the sea because of his actions. In the end, the singer talks about becoming immune to the thought of seeing someone and that there's no more beauty in this world. It's a song that speaks of loss, regret, and emptiness.
Line by Line Meaning
Once there was an old ocean
There used to be an ancient ocean long back
Where anyone who saw it
And whosoever gazed at it
Grew old with the sea
Would age just the same as the sea
So we were terrified of water
This fear of the aging phenomenon made us scared of water
And of all the sons and daughters
And all the young men and women amongst us
No one dared to see
Didn't dare to take a look
On the banks of the coastline
On the edge of the land next to the sea
I tracked a bleeding loved one
I pursued my wounded beloved
His blood was mingling
His blood was flowing and mixing
And the saltiest of waters
Into the sea's water which had the highest amount of salt
'cause apparently they faltered
Because it seems like they failed
Never again to be seen
Never to be spotted again
So I cry, I tried
So I weep, I attempted
I cried, I scry
I sobbed, I gazed
This old warship has wounds and
This ancient battle vessel is wounded and
It won't sail for nothin'
It won't get to maneuver anywhere for nothing
An old sailor said to me
Said an elderly sailor to me
And I was foolish not to listen
My foolishness led me not to heed his advice
And paid such close conscription
And suffered its consequences so severely
All the lies I believed
All the untruths I accepted as facts
"but if you lend me some more labor
But he assured me that if I provide more work
And put your name on paper
And put my name on a document
We just might catch a breeze"
We could then probably catch hold of a gentle gust of wind
I know now he was not a captain
I realize now that he wasn't really the ship's captain
And because of all my actions
And due to all my deeds
I grow alone with the sea
I ended up living in solitude, with the vast ocean as my companion
I have strangely become immune
I seem to have developed immunity strangely enough
To the thought of seeing you
To the idea of meeting you
And the smell of cheap perfume
And to the scent of inexpensive fragrance
With all the liquor I've consumed
Having had much alcohol
There's no more beauty in this world
Has led me to think there is no longer beauty in the world
Is just a ring around the moon
It's just a halo around the moon
I try, I cried
I endeavor, I lament
There's no more beauty in this
I think there is no longer beauty in this
There's no more beauty in this world
There's no more beauty in the world
