Right away, "Hurt" comes to mind. Nine Inch Nails wrote and originally sang the song and was about heroin addiction. Johnny Cash covered it to talk about regrets in life in general. Only change in lyrics is the beginning of 2nd verse. NIN says, "I wear this crown of shit" Cash says thorns.
Same lyrics but obviously different meaning for the artist. Not just a cover, but a song that the artists took the meaning differently without really changing the lyrics.
