Can someone explain Space Bound please?

[Evan C.]

But the sound of someone getting carted off into an ambulance at the start of Space Bound is a dead giveaway that it's about drugs.

LMFAO. I forgot to mention that part.

[BILI]

We touch, I feel a rush, we clutch, it isn't much
But it's enough to make me wonder what's in store for u

Were you ever in love?I doubt it since you`re prolly some nerd who never goes out.

And guess what? Drugs filled the void in his life after divorcing Kim. You don't really need female companionship when you pop 30 pills a day...he plays off the relationship with drugs as if it was a spouse. He got rid of one problem and picked up another.

I`m sorry but this is the only thing I can do about this what you wrote as an explanation to those line

Love/hate relationship with the drugs, anyone?

ehhh?no one,only you




Idiots like me dont see it??Man idiots like you see something in it

I dont wanna even argue with you anymore about this,cause all you have about it is that 1 year and six months line,while 90% of other lines are obviously about girl.If only Eminem did better job with that Road To Recovery we would know.But fuck it you look at it that way and I`ll look at it this way.

[shadyfalcon]

"Kim"is actually about aliens,ha hates them,and then he kills them,its all metaphor

BILI continuing to be a complete idiot.

"We touch I feel a rush...My body aches when I ain't with you"

TOTALLY not hinting at drugs or anything, yo.

You`re a fool if you believe that,thats love idiot
Here let me quote you some parts of the song that might get into your stupid brain:

we touch i feel a rush
we clutch it isnt much
but its enough to make me wonder whats in store for us
its lust its torcherous
you must be a socerous cause you just
did the impossible
game i trust dont play games itll be dangerous
if you fuck me over
cause if i get burnt imma show you what its like to hurt
cause i been treated like dirt before ya
and love is evil
spell it backwards ill show ya

This is about drugs?I feel sad for you if you think so

frozen as snow i show no emotion whatsoever so
dont ask me why i have no love for these mufuckin hos
bloodsuckin suckubusses what the fuck is up with this
ive tried in this department but i aint had no luck with this
its sucks but its exactly what i thought it would be

Oh...this one is about drugs for sure

why do we say that until we get that person that we thinks
gonna be that one and then once we get em its never the same
you want them when they dont want you
soon as they do feelings change
its not a contest and i aint on no conquest for no mate

ill blow my brains in your lap
lay here and die in your arms
up to my knees and im bleedin
im tryin to stop you from leavin
you wont even listen so fuck it
im tryin to stop you from breathin
i put both hands on your throat
i sit on top of you squeezin
til i snap ya neck like a popsicle stick
aint no possible reason i could think of to let you walk up out this house
and let you live
tears streamed down both of my cheeks
then i let you just go and just give
and before i put that gun to my temple
i told you this

And i would do anything for you
to show you how much i adored you
but its over now
its too late to save our love
just promise me youll think of me everytime you look up in the sky and see a star cause imma

Dude you`re a retard,Space Bound is about girl,either real or imaginary one

What?Is LTWYL also about drugs?Cause if you look at it the way you look at it every song could be a metaphor.97 Bonnie and Clyde is not about killing his wife,its about killing his dog,but he just used that as a metaphor,ya dig?

Haha, really? I stopped reading there. Someone who cannot get the simplest lyrics right does not deserve to be arguing over the meaning of them. If he can personify "the game" in 25 to life why can't he do the same with drugs? I am not saying that i think its about drugs but it is open to interpretation. You are entitled to your opinion but so are others.

P.S. Its "you must be a sorceress, cause you just, did the impossible, gained my trust dont play games itll be dangerous"

"Kim"is actually about aliens,ha hates them,and then he kills them,its all metaphor

This made me lol

[BILI]

BILI, what woman would it be about? Certainly not Kim. "After a year and six months..." His second marriage did not last a year and six months. He has known Kim for over 20 years.

Lmao, Mariah? He was with her 9 years ago, for SIX months.

Some random groupie? I highly doubt Eminem was with a woman for a year and six months while he was on hiatus, taking 20 pills a day. I doubt Eminem even bothered with women during his drug period, as Evan C. said... the drugs were his companion.

Love The Way You Lie is completely different because while it is about a woman I think Eminem is not rapping as himself in that song (he is playing a character). I dunno though.

You know what man,its ok,I dont wanna argue about it or anything anymore.I will always think its about woman,yes that line about a year and six months points at drugs,but then again the hook points out to be the woman:

I'm a space-bound rocketship and your heart's the moon
And I'm aimin' right at you
Right at you

And that bridge also,I think its stupid to say to drugs something like this:just promise me youll think of me everytime you look up in the sky and see a star.
I dont dig it,I dont cant even look at it metaphorically.
So I dont even know anymore,Eminem needs to come out and say what it is,lol
But well at least here we have decent debate about it,drugs/woman.I saw on some other forums where they think its about hip-hop or even Ronnie

[Evan C.]

Me And My Girlfriend isn't about Tupac's gun, yo. It's about some girl...Period. You're an idiot if you think otherwise.

[classthe_king]

Maybe its about his drug dealer, who is a woman

[Wic Kid]

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.

Word to Solace. I think that he talks about a girl though. Cuz that part:

im tryin to stop you from breathin
i put both hands on your throat
i sit on top of you squeezin
til i snap ya neck like a popsicle stick

and

just promise me youll think of me everytime you look up in the sky

I dont know, it'd be kinda stupid if he talked to a goddamn pill like that. But thats just me.

[MikeNUFC]

but he just used that as a metaphor,ya dig?

No, I don't dig, you fucking moron.

HAHAHA that's getting sig'd.

Sorry Sac.

[BILI]

but he just used that as a metaphor,ya dig?

No, I don't dig, you fucking moron.

HAHAHA that's getting sig'd.

Sorry Sac.

Whats funny about that?

[MikeNUFC]

^Not really sure. Probably cus "ya dig" is like slang and Evan just turned it so it wasnt slang. Made me laugh.

[BILI]

Lol,ok,I think it would sound better wit Bonnie and Clyde thing in it 2,lol but thats just my opinion

[BILI]

Me And My Girlfriend isn't about Tupac's gun, yo. It's about some girl...Period. You're an idiot if you think otherwise.

Finally,we agree on something .I always thought its about gun too

This verse is the drugs talking back to him...

oh gee lol cant believe i didnt see that.. but there are still some parts that dont fit unless
its like what Solace wrote (meant to be both ways)

[MackBook]

Re-read my post. Its about a women, period. He has been hurt his whole life (by kim) and this is him giving love a chance even though every fiber in his being tells him this girl wont be different "promise me if i cave in and break and leave myself open i wont be making a mistake." What drug requires you to leave yourself open? You cut your chest open to shoot heroin? Drugs just hit you.

He finally lets go and trusts her again and finds out he was right all along, he shouldnt have trusted her and he is so hurt he cant take it anymore and kills her and himself. The whole song has him explicitly detailing just how enamored and adored he is with her. If you dont get the words and imagery like "we clutch i feel a rush," then you've never felt true, unconditional love; and i feel sorry for you.
