It also deals with the reaction of the accident by other people and how in general his life has changed due to his career and fame. "'The song “Hurt” is about a scooter accident I had when I was 18. I was in a semipro freestyle contest. I come in on this 20-foot roll, and I drop in full speed going. Out of nowhere, this mini pebble shows up. This thing just pops out. I hit it with my front wheel. I go flying both arms out. I break my left wrist, my right wrist, and the joint that connects the thumb bone to the hand. This thing is just dangling. I had to get a metal rod through my fucking hand for the entire summer. Couldn’t feed myself or wipe my own ass the entire summer. Luckily, I had a girlfriend who loved me.'" "'There’s a lot of different influences that go into this song specifically, but if I was to list really the primary influence, it would probably be “Sandstorm” by Darude. Have you heard that? That was fucking incredible. You gotta check that out.'"
