Hurt - Rapture lyrics

[@billbou2117]

I'm 30 now. When this album came out I was like 14, 15. I still have the same feeling I did then I was a teenager. It captures the feeling of torture and sadness.

[@leckey119]

[@twistedskipster3946]

I lost a child... this song tears a hole in my soul

[@isaacthecold3802]

im so sorry, i hope things get better for you and your family. im far too young to understand what losing children feels like but from the bottom of my heart i hope life is nothing but uphill for you

[@mjjohnson6960]

Damn I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing okay 💔

[@JerryDodge]

I woke up this morning with this song in my head. Hadn't heard it in months. Never even knew the title, or the artist. Just remembered some of the lyrics. Googled it at work, gave it a listen. Brought up the lyrics before I even played it. And it became obvious that I'd never paid attention to this song before. I'm almost in tears.

[@erowry22]

Yea it is so sad

[@FallenAngelCorp]

Dude this song is DARK. It took me almost a year of listening to it before I really LISTENED to it, and it seriously gave me chills and nearly brought me to tears.

[@davefergusonii5479]

Bro thats crazy, so did i, when i woke this in my head but i ain't heard this shit in 15 years, right.

[@bullhead4963]

I took some research and this song might be inspired by the case of Dena Schlosser, although maybe it was pure coincidence.

[@baileymoran8585]

I think as a teenager I thought it was about a still birth or a child passing naturally and the singer losing his faith as a result… but I didn’t really listen too carefully to the words I guess because it hit me today, so many years later.

[@Juniper_Rose]

This and the line a verse or so before it paint such a dark and horrible picture. "If this must be, then burn with me. Anything. Just don't leave" Basically, he doesn't care what nonsense the mother is screeching. He'll burn if it means his child is still alive.

[@jonhoskins8737]

Exactly. This song describes what happened in Kansas a few weeks ago. A mom killed one of her two children for Jesus. Wow. BTW, I'm not religious, and this is one of those reasons why. I understand not all religious people are like this, but the ones who are get me so infuriated.

[@spoonfixer3387]

I remember the first time I heard this song. Falls apart was on repeat forever then 1 day i decided to intake the whole album. I was folding my clothes when rapture came on and I went from concentrating on mating socks to literally quiet awe for the 5 mins this song was on. The buildup and that final scream at 4:41 gave me the most intense chill from any song ive ever heard to this day. Still A song I lose myself to while driving...and mating socks lol.

[@Idk-rb4ow]

Omg the first time I heard it I felt that scream in my soul. I never cared much for people who would tell me to sit and watch videos or listen to songs cuz usually I didnt like them but my exboyfriends little brother seen i liked Dimmu Borgir and he immediately thought i needed to hear this song. Only time someone said hey listen to this and it end up being one or my favorites. And Dimmu isnt anything like Hurt😂lol idk if id ever heard of them if he hadnt told me to listen

[@jasonbolin181]

My son's mother held back telling me she was pregnant with my son, it took a friend of hers to tell four months later. She told me she was giving him up to adoption and that I should move on as if his birth never came into existence. As a passive and caring person for the life I wanted to start with her, I made the trip to be there at the hospital and to take him home with me. Mistake or not I love my son, she chose not to even try. She got to go see Hurt for free, which made me feel like niether my son or myself shouldn't exist. She had an easy way out of a life we were making with lies and silence. Her excuses wieghed over my reasons why I still loved her and that she needed to be around to see her son. Even though some verses in this song I can relate to. It was a mistake to keep contact with her knowing that what she had done to have it her way and the freedoms she had while I took responsibility. It was the kind of heaven I took for granted to see it as my hell and prison. I now see clearly and will never involve my son and myself with a selfish person claiming to care but shows no effort to express her words into actions and be there for my son. She is free to do whatever without consequence and without shame until the rapture comes to meet us.

[@uriahturd9695]

My ex aborted my first child, I didn't want to do that but i was stupid and "in love". I still hate myself for not standing up for my baby and giving into her self serving request. I have 1 son now and 3 step kids and I love them all dearly. I just heard about this song on a reaction channel and had to see what it was about, now I'm hiding in the bathroom crying because I didn't have a spine when I was younger.

[@LouisMays-gk8sq]

One of the best songs ever written and recorded plain and simple

[@Draftmist]

I've looked into this song a ridiculous amount. What seems to be the truth is that he had an affair with a married woman, she got pregnant and after the baby was born, which he could have possibly not known about at that time, she killed it because she couldn't live with herself and her husband with another man's baby. The feels. That's why he said, "find in me, room to breathe"..he never had a chance and she never told him.

[@trentjefferies1030]

And because Jesus said so 😂

[@Dcandmarvelfangirl]

No it was his actual wife that killed his kid

[@skylerstraight3934]

Damnnnnnnn gonna look at this song with new eyes

[@mase002]

reply to a dead thread, but damn thats crazy! Makes more sense of the lyrics though. Especially the chorus. He said it to her, then she said it to the child in spite! Fucked up!

[@gamewithoutshame5971]

It's about her being crazy, she is is his wife. She believes in the rapture... she kills the baby because God told her to. But she won't see the baby again cause he's saying till her rapture falls to pieces meaning it doesn't happen.

[@honeybiscuits7065]

My father loved heavy metal rock and when I maybe five or six, I heard this song and I absolutely loved it. Every time after that I would ask him to play this song and this was his it went until I was about ten. This song popped into my head five years after I heard it last and I decided to search up the lyrics, now that I'm older I see how tragic the song's story is and now I love it even more

[@theafroassassin2535]

[@theabtardians8864]

Just wanted to toss in my two cents here, but... Yes, obviously the woman in the song is very religious - to the point of insanity - however, I don't see that the lyrics necessarily mean she is a married woman having an affair. "Why are we stuck in this pantomime, fearing a God who died, one who would not deny lovers" ...to me, this line seems to strike more of a tone of two people who are unmarried and having an intimate relationship, and "If this must be, then burn with me, anything, just don't leave" ...to me, reinforces this idea, as it seems that he is begging her, despite everything, not to leave him. And my guess is that maybe she was not crazy when their relationship started. It could be that they were young, and she was brought up in a family that was very religious but having a sexual relationship outside of marriage was her rebellion. For whatever reason, she didn't have an abortion, obviously, as the child was born; thereafter, she was either driven crazy by guilt, or possibly - over the timespan of the pregnancy and birth, up to when she killed the baby - was constantly verbally berated by her parents and other people of her church until she went bonkers. Also, I would guess that the child didn't live very long at all, given the words of her explination at the end of the song where it sounds as if he never got to see the baby.

[@baileymoran8585]

I took it to just mean the baby was born out of wedlock. Christians act like that’s the worst thing you can do, outside of being something other than straight. Sexual ‘sins’ are often weighted as on par with murder in more extreme churches. Not so much sex crimes, but anything outside of a straight marriage. I don’t know if the band ever clarified or said anything to suggest there was an affair, and a part of me really wants this to be really well done fiction, but you are correct. It doesn’t have to be an affair. Just two people who had sex outside of marriage.

The song is using the term rather ironically. It’s about a woman who’s so deeply immersed in in christianity that she ‘hears the voice of god’ tell her to murder her own baby because it was born out of wedlock. Hence the whole ‘yes I would if I could destroy your god’ part. Idk the band’s stance on mainline christianity but it’s clear they don’t like he fundamentalists who do batshit things like this.

It's not just your body. It took another body with yours to create a new body inside you. You dont have ownership.
