Lyrics

[Verse 1: Eminem]
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 us
It's lust, it's torturous
You must be a sorceress
'Cause you just did the impossible, gained my trust
Don't play games, it'll be dangerous if you fuck me over
'Cause if I get burnt, I'ma show you what it's like to hurt
'Cause I been treated like dirt before ya
And love is evil, spell it backwards, I'll show ya
Nobody knows me, I'm cold
Walk down this road all alone
It's no one's fault but my own
It's the path I've chosen to go
Frozen as snow, I show no emotion whatsoever, so
Don't ask me why I have no love for these motherfuckin' hoes
Bloodsuckin' succubuses, what the fuck is up with this?
I've tried in this department, but I ain't had no luck with this
It sucks, but it's exactly what I thought it would be like tryin' to start over
I got a hole in my heart, but some kind of emotional roller coaster
Somethin' I won't go on, so you toy with my emotions, so it's over
It's like an explosion every time I hold ya
Wasn't jokin' when I told you you take my breath away
You're a supernova and I'm a
[Chorus: Steve McEwan]
I'm a space-bound rocket ship and your heart's the Moon
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
Two-hundred-fifty-thousand miles on a clear night in June
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
Right at you

[Verse 2: Eminem]
I'll do whatever it takes
When I'm with you, I get the shakes
My body aches when I ain't with you, I have zero strength
There's no limit on how far I would go, no boundaries, no lengths
Why do we say that until we get that person that we think's gonna be that one?
And then once we get 'em, it's never the same
You want 'em when they don't want you
Soon as they do, feelings change
It's not a contest and I ain't on no conquest for no mate
I wasn't lookin' when I stumbled onto you, musta been fate
But so much is at stake, what the fuck does it take?
Let's cut to the chase 'fore the door shuts in your face
Promise me if I cave in and break and leave myself open
That I won't be makin' a mistake 'cause I'm a

[Chorus: Steve McEwan]
I'm a space-bound rocket ship and your heart's the Moon
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
Two-hundred-fifty-thousand miles on a clear night in June
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
Right at you
[Verse 3: Eminem]
So after a year and six months, it's no longer me that you want
But I love you so much it hurts, never mistreated you once
I poured my heart out to you, let down my guard, swear to God
I'll blow my brains in your lap, lay here and die in your arms
Drop to my knees and I'm pleadin', I'm tryna stop you from leavin'
You won't even listen, so fuck it, I'm tryna stop you from breathin'
I put both hands on your throat, I sit on top of you, squeezin'
'Til I snap your neck like a Popsicle stick, ain't no possible reason
I can think of to let you walk up out this house and let you live
Tears stream down both of my cheeks, now I let you go and just give
And 'fore I put that gun to my temple, I told you this

[Bridge: Eminem]
And I woulda done anything for you
To show you how much I adored you
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 I'm a

[Chorus: Steve McEwan]
I'm a space-bound rocket ship and your heart's the Moon
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
Two-hundred-fifty-thousand miles on a clear night in June
And I'm so lost without you, without you
Without you

If you are a rap lover, then you must have heard about Eminem, the legendary Detroit rapper known for his sharp lyrics, unique rhyming style, and polished flow. Eminem has been making music for over two decades and has managed to release hit after hit with each album he puts out. One of the standout tracks from his 2010 album Recovery is Space Bound. A song that depicts the tumultuous relationship of Eminem and his ex-wife Kimberly Anne Scott. This article will dive into what makes Space Bound a must-listen to song for every music enthusiast.

About Space Bound

Space Bound is a riveting summer love song that transcends the standard rap love song template. Rather than a typical love ballad filled with gooey details, Space Bound starts out with a sappy, love-drenched feel before bringing in the stark reality of a volatile romantic relationship. It's not just about the good times; it's also about the dark and stormy moments that make a relationship less than perfect.

The song's theme is reminiscent of Eminem's earlier song "Kim." However, while "Kim" was filled with outright aggression and menace, Space Bound presents a more complicated relationship where Eminem tries to look at things from a different angle. The track tells a story of regret and showcases his emotional side, which is not something that Eminem is famous for, especially given that he has a reputation for producing hostile, provocative music.

Space Bound delivers an emotional roller coaster of a tale as Eminem pours out his heart about a lover that he desperately wants to be with. At first, the song seems like a love song where the narrator seems smitten with a girl. But, as the verse unfolds, it becomes clearer that things are not as perfect as they seem. Soon, the tale gets quite visceral, with Eminem describing a relationship that is hurtful and abusive.

Eminem's delivery of this song is masterful, and the lyrics are well thought out. They create a visual image of the narrator's mindset, taking you on a journey of a man struggling with love and regret. The two seemingly contradictory themes of the song- affection and gore- work together beautifully to create a perfect summer love song that you can't help but want to sing along.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that Space Bound is one of Eminem's most personal tracks. It's a reminder that no matter how talented, skilled, or famous someone is, they are still human and have feelings just like everyone else. With some of the rawest and emotional lyrics of his career, Eminem paints a picture of a love that's both heartbreaking and beautiful.

Space Bound is much more than just another love song. It's a song about the complexities of love, relationships, and regret. It is a must-listen track for anyone who wants to hear Eminem's raw, personal side. So, if you haven't heard Space Bound yet, make sure to add it to your playlist. This is one song that you don't want to miss.
