It can't be Em cuz you can see he was going to fall on the floor, not tru a window :unsure:



It's Em. And yeah, looks like he's about to hit the floor first, haha

It's kinda strange and that guy has white shoes and Em has black shoes. :D

Personally, I love the video. My idea for what happens with the rewinding and all is that we're shown what's going to happen to Em if he gets in the car (falls in love). He's going to end up getting cheated on and kill himself. The whole video is showing a possible route, and in the end, we see him taking it and leading to his inevitable doom. It's split because it's almost like a part of him knowing that this is going to happen but choosing it anyway. It's really dark the way I see it, but I love everyone else's theories too. It's just all in the way you look at it. People try way too hard to make it logical. Art is more about feeling than a logical type of thing. Just watch it, and see things the way you see them. There's no right or wrong. Just enjoy the video.

I like the video. It's not like a masterpiece but it's not awful by any means.

A couple things I noticed that kinda bugs me but not really.. First one is it really seems like they tried to promote G-Shock... Anyone else think this? The other which has been pointed out is he shoots himself under the chin instead of the temple. But oh well. I can look past them both in the end.

@renoool Techniquely she don't have the gun back in her pants. She has the gun in her car, but they are showing that she has it back in her pants cuz she want to kill Eminem too. She is cheating and has no interest in Eminem anymore. Then when Eminem realise that she has a gun he tries to kill her, but then realise that she has already left him. So then Eminem kill himself
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?

-The girl picks him up when he is alone.

-He realizes slowly that he is addicted to drugs, and they can kill him.

-He sees signs and slowly realizes that the girl is dangerous and can hurt him. (Used hurt instead of kill to go with the relationship thing, but you get the idea.)

-Drugs killed him, but really, can you blame it on the drugs? Nope, drug woman disappears and Em is the one at fault, because really its not the drugs, it was him abusing the drugs. His fault, so he holds the gun.

-(kind of a stretch) Coffee cup overflowing, drug overdosing.

-He gets a second chance in life. Undoubtedly he is going to run into the drugs, alcohol, and heroin again, so drug lady returns. He will be placed in the same situation of pressure, and now, it is up to him to decide what he wants to do in round two.


I'm sorry man, not gonna insult you or anything but, I think that's silly lmao.

I used to try and concoct these theories for Recovery songs when it came out until I realized it's all a lot simpler, Em does not think like this. He's not that contrived or complex with ideas. He wouldn't layer metaphor upon metaphor and have a female and the situation all be symbols for addiction etc. lmao.

It's simple - it's a relationship song where he thinks his girlfriend is cheating, finds out that she is, so then kills her. And then kills himself out of guilt (hence looking at his hands in disbelief at what he's just done, to the woman he loved).

And there is no other reason to think it's anything else. He's never layered metaphors and symbolism to the degree you're suggesting before, and the song / video is what you see / what you get. There is no evidence or reason to think it's anything other than it seems.

People are just wishful and want to make Em's fairly simple music a lot more complex than it is now. To give him more credit lmao. But anything outside of its face-value is speculation / imaginary.

And you're making totally false and unsupported connections / basis' to support / create your theory. You can't just conclude that because Em was on his own when Proof died that him being on his own in a video is therefore a direct metaphor for that specific thing lmao. There's no evidence for that other than what's in your head. It's not reality.

I like your interpretation of the video. The video itself is not that bad and it would have beaten the LTWYL video if it wasn't for my beautiful Megan Fox. :sweating:

Isn't interpreting music always us speculating we are never 100% sure that the song in question is what we make it out to be unless the artist himself states what the song is about. Take The Beatles' Fool On The Hill for example there are probably about 100 different theories about who Paul wrote the song about but no one is sure. So the video/song can mean anything unless proven wrong by the artist himself.

In video games, when you kill people, they disappear. Eminem likes video games, so he applied that concept in the video.
