Lyrical Analysis of...
when im gone-Eminem
- Yeah
- It's my life
- My own words I guess
- Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
- Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for
- When they know they're your heart
- And you know you were their armor
- And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'em
- But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you
- And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?
- What happens when you become the main source of a pain?
- "Daddy, look what I made.", dad's gotta go catch a plane
- "Daddy, where's mommy? I can't find mommy, where is she?"
- I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your daddy's busy
- Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gonna write itself
- I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
- Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
- And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
- That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
- Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rock a bye baby
- And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
- Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
- Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
- And I didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain
- Just smile back
- And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
- Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
- Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
- And I didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain
- Just smile back
- I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
- She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
- "You're making mommy cry, why? Why is mommy crying?"
- Baby, daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying,
- You always say that, you always say this is the last time.
- But you ain't leaving no more, daddy you're mine."
- She's pilling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
- "Daddy please, daddy don't leave, daddy no stop it!"
- Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
- It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe daddy, take it with ya."
- I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
- These fuckin' walls must be talking, 'cuz man I can hear 'em
- They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right," and it's tonight
- Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
- And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
- It turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
- And I'm singing
- And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
- Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
- Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
- And I didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain
- Just smile back
- And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
- Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
- Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
- And I didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain
- Just smile back
- 60,000 people, all jumping out their seat
- The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
- I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
- They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
- I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
- "Daddy it's me, help mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
- But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
- "I followed you daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
- "You lied to me Dad, and now you make mommy sad
- And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'.
- That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin.
- I get the point fine, me and mommy are gone."
- But baby wait, "It's too late dad, you made the choice.
- Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us."
- That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep screamin' your name
- It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
- Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k keep it real
- I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
- How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
- I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
- Put it to my brain and scream "Die Shady!" and pop it
- The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
- That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
- It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
- Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
- Almost as if to say
- And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
- Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
- Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
- And I didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain
- Just smile back
- And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
- Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
- Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
- And I didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain
- Just smile back
