There is no hidden meaning here, it's straightforward, upfront, raw and powerful. What makes it so great is the sheer rawness of emotion in both Eminems lyrics and Rihannas voice. What I find scary about this song is that I've been on both sides of a relationship similar to this and I think most people have. It's not as simple as walking away and leaving this shit behind and outsiders can never understand that, because deep inside is still that person, that spirit, that that soul that attracted you to them in the first place and you live in hope that soon the storm, the rage and the anger will pass and everything will be as it was in the beginning.
Life isn't simple and neither are modern relationships. Violence is never cool in any form, but the video for this supports the theory that there is more at play that has possibly brought on the violence. Socio-Economic circumstance, booze, possibly drugs, petty crime, unemployment etc etc.
I've always taken the line "I love the way you lie" more as a smartass comment to ones self about denying what is really going on here. Tricking yourself into believing that this is the person for you, that this behaviour is normal and that people will change, knowing full well that you shouldn't.
I respect Rihanna so much more for doing this song, she copped so much criticism in Australia for this but NOT ONCE did the mainstream media who were slamming her sit down and actually listen to what this song is conveying.
Every word that comes out of Eminems mouth in this song sends chills up my spine. I've never related so much to a song in my life and when it's up loud this song just takes me away someplace else.
