Reply to comment by jonnyinternet in NIN / Johnny Cash - Hurt by confrita

Sure but hurt isn't angry at all. It's mournful and regretful.

The meaning of the song didn't really change with the artist, just the specifics of the loss and regret

The anger of the original is aimed internally. It isn't a loud blaze, but old embers. It's still hot, it's just not flashy.

You don't have to be screaming to be angry. Hurt is a different anger, more mature

Fair enough .

The language/tone/ message of the song ( as I understand it ) Lacks anything I would attribute to anger in that sense though. Subjective to a degree I suppose.
