Hurt *may trigger*

[lovehatetragedy]

Here are the lyrics for Johhny Cash`s / cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt". I think it has wonderful lyrics.

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 am 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

I never realized Cash covered that one.
It's a good song, I like it.

a stupid question, what does the "trigger" thing mean? I've come across it a few times, yet can't figure out the menaing of it, apart for the most obvious one, the part of the gun that is. Do forgive my ignoracy, but I'm a forgeiner (like that would actually justify that, hah!)

From past forums Ive learnt that if your going to be talking about something graphic or upsetting that you shuold put * may trigger* next to it.
Its kind of a warning to people reading the post. I dont want anyone to self harm over something ive read.
Hope ive explained that well enough. xxxx
