In this poignant and empathetic composition, R.E.M. addresses the universal experience of pain and emotional distress, offering solace and encouragement to those who feel overwhelmed by life's challenges. The lyrics convey a message of solidarity and reassurance, emphasizing that suffering is an intrinsic part of the human condition. By urging listeners to "hold on" during their darkest moments, the song underscores the importance of resilience and the support of friends in navigating periods of despair. The repetition of "everybody hurts" serves as a powerful reminder that no one is truly alone in their struggles, fostering a sense of communal empathy and understanding.

Everybody Hurts
Lyrics
When your day is long
And the night
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life
Well, hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on)
(Hold on) if you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life
Well, hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone
If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
No, no, no, no, no
You are not alone
