Quick Summary of "Space Bound"...

[EminemBase]

This isn't a full-blown analysis of the track, I just wrote a short article about it...

Sample:

What’s so great about the lyrics here is the fact that Em really dug down into the psychology of love and attraction, and all of the consequences, and emphasized the best and the worst. He doesn’t gloss over the darkness and he doesn’t simplify or over-dramatize the light.

To anybody who's interested in reading the full thing, you can do so here. Cheers.

You picked one of his most interesting songs to analyze [in my opinion, anyway]. Will definitely read it!

Don't get your hopes up, it's not a detailed analysis of the video or theories on double meanings or anything like that.

The lyrics just struck a chord with me due to something in my life happening at the moment and I felt like tipping my hat to the accuracy and realism of the lyrics. It's more of a summary of a few aspects. I will be analysing all of his tracks properly soon though.

[Amaranthine]

Well then I'll be looking forward to the full analysis!

I don't happen to think the video or song has double meanings referencing drugs or anything by the way. In case you were hoping I would advocate such ideas.

I think it's a song about love, attraction and everything that you hear, I think that it's literal and that the video is showing two alternate instances (ie. what could happen) or perhaps his subconscious mind. But I don't think it's a metaphor for anything else.

But the lyricism and execution is excellent, and worth analysis regardless.

Eminem is a true artist. That is why his songs hit the spot. You can relate to his songs even if your life and experiences are completly different than his.

Space Bound is a song in which, I think, older and wiser Eminem goes back in his relationship with Kim.
"But it's over now
It's too late to save our love
Just promise me you'll think of me every time you look up in the sky and see a star 'cause imma"

Back in the days, Em would never say this.

Nah, I don't think SB has double meanings or anything. I just think it's a very interesting, gorgeous song, and it's very much worth analyzing for its actual meaning.
