Eminem - When I'm Gone + Lyrics

I Do Not own The Rights to this video this video is Created by UMG
Lyrics:
[Introduction]
Yeah...
It's my life...
My own words I guess...
[Verse 1]
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 armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her 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 a 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 rocka-by-baby...
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse 2]
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 piling 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 withcha'"
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's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand 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 going"
But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out 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..
[Chorus/Outro]
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...

Honestly, I think Em was in a much worse state in this time period than people and the media knew about. I think he had intended on suicide especially given the chorus lyrics. It was like his final goodbye but then happened to come back with Recovery. Not just as a recovery from his addictions, but recovery from they suicidal depression he was dealing with.

At 13 years old i had to be admitted into a mental facility and this was the last song i heard before i was wheeled away and cried myself to sleep because i was so scared about what was going to happen. It’s been almost 3 years later and i’m still here listening because though i was hospitalized it didn’t help for a long time. I relapsed multiple times and my mental health had declined. I have been on meds since 8th grade and this song is the one thing that had gotten me through it all

[@SuperBango]

remember that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, life is tough, but you are far tougher. stay strong homie.

[@sadgurl_life4744]

Does anyone realize he’s gonna be gone someday and when we think about him we will all want to cry because he has been a part of all our childhoods and he’s given millions a voice and he’s spoken reality I think people don’t realize were all growing up all these things we grew up with that made us to the people we are today someday no one will ever even think about it won’t even be in their memories and that’s what makes growing up so sad it’s that you can’t have this constant feeling of happiness and love and stability because once you grow up all those things that shaped you into you become things you’ll barely even be able to remember all those songs that spoke real meaning and truth or those family members biological or not or those show that you used to get away from stuff around you because they’ll all be gone. And hey maybe since were destroying the earth you won’t have to worry about it because we’ll probably run our of air in less than 20 years so at least we will all forget those beautiful things together.

I used to think that Eminem was a terrible person, but this song makes me feel like hes a real great person, that's kinda insecure, but he loves his children, and hes just a normal person, who's going through some real bad things. This song makes me cry. Honestly hes a great person who has made some not so great decisions. But I love him.

[@torri5229]

I cry when I hear this song. When I was a kid, my dad was kind of in and out of my life for drugs and work. He ended up moving 90 miles away with his mom, and he gave me this song to listen to. Once before he left again, I was pushing stuff in front of our door crying begging him not to go. My mom kicked him out a few times for domestic abuse (which was both of them hitting each other, ect) they were both on drugs which was the reasoning for all the fighting, and again I had to watch him leave but in a police car. I was rather young so I don't really remember. But that stuff was so long ago, he's back now and more present. Him and my mom are better, and clean(ish) (he's still working on it) and they're mid divorce. But I still cry when I listen to it, it just still resonates with me.
