Hurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will quickly become your routine
And he invited you over
An addict quickly gets indressed
With something ot get off her chest
You made a trade 'cause you're sober
And it stings to remind you
Of all that's behind you
'cause they say it gets better before it gets worse
You know it gets better, so of course it gets worse
Your body's made of dollar bills
You'd spend them all on some cheap thrill
But what when you're older?
You stuck a point into your arm
But did you contemplate the harm?
As it moved up your shoulder...
Did it make you feel better
Right before it got worse
I used to make you feel better
But now it just hurts...
And there's no hope 'cause I'm in love with you
I cannot cope; guess I'm addicted too
You keep on coming over me
I keep on crying over you
It shows me what it's come to be
It shows me what I mean to you
'cause you're killing me......
And after all you would think
It's my fault when all in all I know is that you're killing me!
The lyrics to Hurt's song "Better" seem to be talking about the experience of addiction and the difficulties that come with it. The first verse talks about the addiction cycle, where things that once seemed obscene or unacceptable quickly become routine and habitual. It also touches on how addicts often turn to each other for support and validation, even though they know it's not healthy. The line "And he invited you over" suggests that the singer is in a romantic relationship with someone who also struggles with addiction.
The chorus talks about the idea that "it gets better before it gets worse" as a reference to the ups and downs of addiction recovery. The singer knows that things will eventually get better, but also acknowledges that the road to recovery is not easy, and relapses are common. The second verse talks about the physical and emotional harm that addiction causes, and how it can be hard to see the consequences when you're in the midst of it. The line "Your body's made of dollar bills" suggests that the singer has been using money to fuel their addiction and that it's taking a toll.
The final verse is a plea from the singer to their partner, who they are still in love with despite the difficulties of their addiction. The line "I used to make you feel better but now it just hurts" suggests that the singer has tried to help their partner before but has hit a wall. The final lines of the song are a call to action, showing that the singer knows things need to change but doesn't know how to make that happen. Overall, "Better" is a raw and honest exploration of the complicated emotions and experiences that come with addiction and recovery.
Line by Line Meaning
Those things you thought that were obscene
The actions that you once considered immoral will eventually become a normal part of your life
Will quickly become your routine
They will become a part of your daily life and habits
And he invited you over
Someone lured you into a bad situation
An addict quickly gets undressed
An addicted person quickly gives in to their cravings and desires
With something to get off her chest
They have something on their mind and need to confide in someone or something
You made a trade 'cause you're sober
You were tempted to give in to your addiction because you were sober at the time
And it stings to remind you
It hurts to remember past mistakes and bad decisions
Of all that's behind you
Reflecting on your past choices and actions that have brought you to your current state
But I don't want to lose you right now...
Despite wanting to distance themselves from a toxic relationship, they are struggling to let go
'Cause they say it gets better before it gets worse
There is a belief that things will improve before they take a turn for the worse
You know it gets better, so of course it gets worse
Despite knowing things can improve, they are still aware that things will get worse before they get better
Your body's made of dollar bills
You are only focused on the money and material things that your body can buy
You'd spend them all on some cheap thrill
You would risk everything, including your own well-being, for temporary pleasure and excitement
But what when you're older?
What happens when you are no longer young and have spent all your resources on temporary thrills?
You stuck a point into your arm
You indulged in self-destructive behavior such as drug abuse
But did you contemplate the harm?
Did you consider the negative effects and consequences of your actions?
As it moved up your shoulder...
As the addiction progressed and took over your life
Did it make you feel better
Did it provide you with temporary relief and help you escape reality for a while?
Right before it got worse
But ultimately, it led to a worse and more difficult situation
I used to make you feel better
The artist once brought the other person comfort and happiness
But now it just hurts...
But now being in a relationship with the person has become a source of pain and sadness
And there's no hope 'cause I'm in love with you
Despite recognizing how toxic the relationship is, the artist is unable to let go because of their love for the other person
I cannot cope; guess I'm addicted too
The singer is also struggling with an addiction and is just as trapped and helpless as the other person
You keep on coming over me
The other person keeps coming back despite the toxic nature of their relationship
I keep on crying over you
The singer is struggling to move on and let go of the other person
It shows me what it's come to be
The situation is finally becoming clear to the singer
It shows me what I mean to you
The true nature of the relationship is revealed and the singer is realizing that they are not valued or respected
'Cause you're killing me......
The toxic relationship is taking its toll on the artist both physically and emotionally
And after all you would think
Despite all of the warning signs and negative aspects of the relationship
It's my fault when all in all I know is that you're killing me!
The singer recognizes that the situation is not their fault and blames the other person for their own destructive behavior and the impact it has on the relationship
