Eminem – Space Bound Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

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'd be dangerous if you fuck me over
'Cause if I get burnt, I'ma show ya what it's like to hurt
'Cause I've been treated like dirt befo' ya
And love is evol, 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 mo'fuckin' ho's
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 tryin' to start over
I've got a hole in my heart for some kind of emotional roller coaster
Somethin' I won't go on, so you toy with my emotions, ho, it's over
It's like an explosion every time I hold ya, I wasn't jokin' when I told ya
You take my breath away, you're a supernova and I'm a

I'm a space bound rocket ship and your heart's the moon
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you

250, 000 miles on a clear night in June

And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you, right at you

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 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

I'm a space bound rocket ship and your heart's the moon

And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
250, 000 miles on a clear night in June
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you, right at you

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'll pour 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 tryin' to stop you from leavin'
You won't even listen so fuck it, I'm tryin' to stop you from breathin'
I put both hands on your throat, I sit on top of you, squeezin'
Till I snap your neck like a Popsicle stick
Ain't a 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, then I let you go and just give
And before I put that gun to my temple, I told you this

And I would've did 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

I'm a space bound rocket ship and your heart's the moon
And I'm aimin' right at you, right at you
250, 000 miles on a clear night in June
And I'm so lost without you, without you, without you

About This Song

"Space Bound" is a haunting exploration of toxic love and emotional dependency that reveals Eminem's vulnerability beneath his aggressive exterior. The song chronicles an obsessive relationship where the narrator becomes completely consumed by his partner, using space and gravity metaphors to illustrate how he's trapped in her orbit, unable to break free despite recognizing the relationship's destructive nature. Marshall confronts his own pattern of seeking validation through romantic connections, admitting his desperation for love while simultaneously expressing paranoia about betrayal and abandonment. The track's production features a melancholic, atmospheric beat with ethereal synths that create a sense of floating in emotional limbo, perfectly complementing the space-bound metaphor. Eminem's delivery alternates between tender vulnerability in the verses and explosive anger in moments where his insecurities surface, showcasing his ability to convey complex emotional states. The song delves into themes of codependency, self-worth tied to romantic validation, and the cyclical nature of unhealthy relationships. What makes "Space Bound" particularly compelling is how it strips away Eminem's usual bravado to reveal raw emotional honesty about love addiction and the fear of being alone. The track resonated with listeners who recognized their own struggles with toxic relationships and the difficulty of breaking free from patterns that provide temporary comfort but long-term pain.
