Well this has nothing to do with books, but I really LOVE this song and the video is so powerful, I really wanted to share it with you.
Love the way you lie… by Eminem featuring Rihanna
I’m glad I’ve never been in a relation like this, and I know it’s gonna sound weird to say this form this duo but that song really speaks to my soul. I can totally picture myself in this situation and feel their pain. And Megan Fox & Dominic Monaghan did an awesome acting job =)
Here are the lyrics, it’s worth reading them!
Chorus:
Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I sufficate
And right before im about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength
Chorus
You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down
Pin 'em
So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Chorus
Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire
Chorus
What do you guys think?
I definitely agree, this song is amazing. Eminem came back strong :)
ReplyDeleteI love this song as well, and the video is so good its like a movie
ReplyDeleteThis song had a similar impression on me. I can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend in a relationship like this. She was never able to walk away. So I always think of her when I hear it.
Amazing song with a strong message!! Eminem has made an awesome come back!
ReplyDeleteI definitely think this song makes an impact. I wrote about it on my personal blog (ashleyhoffenberg.blogpost.com).
ReplyDeleteI love this song! The video is amazing; Megan Fox did a really good job in it. Eminem has always been one of my favourite rappers. He's one of the realest ones out there.
ReplyDeleteI love this song too! It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's great video! Thanks for sharing ;)
ReplyDelete<3 Eminem. This song is hott!
ReplyDeleteI loved this song from the first time I listened!! When I saw the video and read the lyrics, I loved even more...I've met some cases...it's sad but it's real!
ReplyDeleteYou took the words outta my mouth. I've never been in a relationship like this (thankfully) but the song just resonates... I think perhaps because even if you haven't been in a relationship like this, there's something about it that everyone feels they can relate to. At some point in our lives, we've had some type of situation that the same message can work for.... I don't know, but it did really resonate for me. I heard it on my sister's iPod last Thursday, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since! It's a great song, and the video just makes it all the more amazing.
ReplyDeleteI have this song on my iphone and I absolutely love it! Can relate to this to a degree though. This is the first time I've seen the video clip for it. Love Rhianna's hair
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I hate this song. I find it disturbing and upsetting. I mean, that last line is disgusting, about tying her to the bed and setting the house on fire. I don't know, to me it makes DV seem passionate and sexy, and that's wrong. Also, Eminem is the same guy who raps about wanting to kill his ex-wife Kim, raps about being homophobic, raps out his rape fantasies. I can't see this as an inspiring video as much as something to just make more money. However, I am probably the only one who feels this way. I am glad that it is causing conversation about DV though.
ReplyDeleteI love this song!! It's on constant replay on my computer, in the car etc!!! Love it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteApril - I completely respect your opinion, but I think that this song should be considered differently. Both singers have been in violent relationship and I think the goal is to denounce it. Show the world the ugly face of this kind of relationship and shock the public.
ReplyDeleteLyrics represant how a person stuck in this relationship might feel like.
But this is just the way I see it anyway =)
Wow I hadn't heard the song or seen the video before, but it's really powerful. I think my husband has this album downloaded... I'll have to steal it :) Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeletepowerful video!! loved it =)
