Can someone explain Space Bound please?

[Robot]

In my opinion I dont think it's about drugs, it could just be about love and women & shit (maybe)

[HairJordan23]

I also think that, but I've never heard him talk about the song. I'm thinking he's speaking from the view of being a drug. Like how 50 rhymed like he was Heroin on Baltimore Love thing.


Then maybe it's just about him talking to a girl


either way, the song is nice

[BILI]

Lol,there is no fucking chance its about drugs,you guys listening to the same song?If there`s any song thats about drugs it could be Seduction,but I doubt that one 2

Seduction? No way, I'm pretty sure its about seducing the ears of hip hop or rap fans

[Sablesilk]

I hate that he didn't explain the song in that Shade 45 interview, but I personally think that its about his difficulty in starting new romantic relationships. I understand how some people can view it as being about drugs from certain lyrics. But overall I think the lyrics points towards it being about a woman, especially the first verse.

[BILI]

Lol,Seduction is about girl,you guys have wrong names on your songs?25 To Life is about Hip-Hop/Rap.I said that only Seduction could be about drugs not that it is,and neither is it about Hip-Hop.

[HairJordan23]

I think Seduction is about hip hop and how he seduces it and rappers or critics hate on him for it.

[BILI]

Seduction is about seducing hip hop fans no question. 25 to Life is about hip hop itself. I thought it was very obvious that Seduction was about rap fans.

It’s like we’re playing lyrical tug of war with your ear

You hear it, girl come here, put your ear up to the speaker

Dear, while I freak this world premier

Seducing her, loosen up with a little freestyle that’ll…

Wait, am I losing ya?
Am I making you look bad?

Well I got news for ya homie, you’re losing her

Oh wait she don’t like when I spit it fast

Am I tryna show how, let me slow it down some

It’s still gonna be a blowout

You’re gonna wanna throw out your whole album

Rummage through the shit and try to salvage something

To see if you can save any of it punk, but none of it’s fucking with me


Explain me then 1st and 2nd verse?

PS:Can someone really have a 7 disc cd changer in a car?

[Leech]

Drugs= women...

He has 7 solo albums, so it fits. ANd I'm sure if you're rich, u can get a lot of things normal people can't

[Solace]

Fucking hell the topic is about Space Bound and people really have to change this to a debate about Seduction?

Anyways, I believe Space Bound is about drugs. That's what I think of when I look at it but I more so believe that the song doesn't have a specific object that it's about...I think it's about what the listener wants to interpret it as.

[Renegade45]

To anyone who thinks this song is about drugs, I hope you're not a native English speaker because if you are, that's really sad. The song is definitely about a girl, the question is whether it's about an actual girl or not. From listening to the song multiple times, if anything, this song is like another Stan. Each verse is another stage in the relationship between this man and a woman. In the first verse, the guy has just fallen in love with the girl, but he doesn't trust her completely. He doesn't open up to her and he doesn't know if he can trust her, even though he wants to. In the second verse, they're together and the relationship is amazing. Even then though, the guy isn't completely open with the girl and he isn't himself around her. Even though he loves her he hasn't opened up to her yet. In the last lines of the 2nd verse he says "Promise me if I cave in and break and leave myself open that I won't be making a mistake". In the third verse, it's obvious that he's opened up to the girl but she doesn't want him anymore. He kills her, then shoots himself.

[Robbie G]

I agree with Solace in that it's more open to interpretation. I have a lot more experience with girls than I do with drugs so when I hear the song I think of a girl. But somebody who has been addicted to Drugs, or used them would most likely think of drugs when they heard the song. It can definitely be taken either way.

Everytime this discussion comes up... I should just bookmark this page:

Each verse is another stage in the relationship between Eminem and drugs. In the first verse, Eminem has just fallen in love with drugs, but he doesn't trust them completely. He doesn't open up to using and he doesn't know if he can trust using drugs, even though he wants to. In the second verse, they're together and the addiction is amazing. Even then though, Eminem isn't completely open with drug use and he isn't himself when high. Even though he loves getting high he hasn't opened up to using yet. In the last lines of the 2nd verse he says "Promise me if I cave in and break and leave myself open that I won't be making a mistake". In the third verse, it's obvious that he's addicted to drugs but they have consumed him. He kills his drug habit, then rehabs.

[Renegade45]

And he tells his drugs to promise him that they'll think of him everytime the drugs look up in the sky? Not everything has a hidden meaning. If Stan came out after his addiction everyone would say that Stan represents Eminem's drug use too.
