Space Bound is the 4th and last single from the 2010 Eminem album Recovery. Although it was released as a single in 2011. The song and music video show a split personality of Eminem, one side who is calm and loves his girlfriend, the other who is aggressive and hates her. The music video gained some attention for a scene where Eminem shoots himself in the head with a gun and blood spurts from the wound.
Originally recorded in March 2008 with Steve McEwan, Jim Jonsin had been sending the instrumental around to different artists to try and get anyone to use it. One of which being Eminem who indeed took the track for his own album. Jonsin said that Eminem had gotten the track around exactly a year and half later, which would be Fall of 2009.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
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'mma 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 motherfucking hoes
Blood suckin’ 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 tryna start over
I got a hole in my heart, but some kinda emotional roller coaster
Something I won’t go on so you toy with my emotions, ho it’s over
It’s like an explosion everytime I hold ya, I wasn’t joking when I told ya
You take my breath away, you’re a supernova, and I'm a
[Chorus]
I’m a space bound rocketship and your hearts the moon
And I’m aiming right at you, right at you
250 thousand miles on a clear night in June
And I’m aiming right at you, right at you, right at you
[Verse 2]
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 thinks
Gonna be that one, then once we get them it’s never the same
You want them 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 looking when I stumbled on to 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 making a mistake, cause I'm a
[Chorus]
I’m a space bound rocketship and your hearts the moon
And I’m aiming right at you, right at you
250 thousand miles on a clear night in June
And I’m aiming right at you, right at you, right at you
[Verse 3]
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 blow my brains in your lap, lay here and die in your arms
Drop to my knees and I’m pleading, I’m tryna stop you from leaving
You won’t even listen so fuck it, I’m tryna stop you from breathing
I put both hands on your throat, I sit on top of you squeezing
'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]
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
[Outro]
I’m a space bound rocketship and your hearts the moon
And I’m aiming right at you, right at you
250 thousand miles on a clear night in June
And I’m so lost without you, without you, without you
