I actually think the context of the songs is basically the same. Both had dealt with problems, both had drug abuse, both felt their lives felt a bit empty. It is basically an apology/if I had another shot song.
Within the context of The Downward Spiral I think TR's version basically means exactly the same thing as Cash's version.
