Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Just like the song Cable TV, he's talking about people's dependency on television. It's hard to tell whether he is kidding or not with the line "next week on FOX watch lions eat Christians"
Eminem is suck a jackass. He won't let Al do a video for it.
Eminem is just like Coolio: he denies that he gave permission to do the song.... the music video of Couch potato would be awesome if Weird Al was allowed to make one... i saw him perform Couch Potato at a concert... it was cool...next best thing to a music video
In this day and age, I thought anybody who had a chance to make a pile of extra money would jump on any chance to do it. I guess the last comment or two shows counterexamples to my initial point. I guess when a famous song is used as a joke, capitalism and humor are "in"-inexorable. They are mutually exclusive in the minds of the copyright holders. Coolio probably had a greater right to bitch than Eminem did. He's a one hit wonder, may two-hit max. How many hits has Eminem had? If you can't stand to have a good parody done to your song, then why not do it? Weird Al has a proven track record of making great parodies, and this is one of them. Amish Paradise is a comedy classic. Why can't these artists agree to let the court jester run with the ball? He's harmless and he has his niche within the world. If we didn't have ability to laugh at ourselves, then what would we have left?
i adore eminem, but i also think hes being a HUGE puss about not letting weird al do a musci video
i like both Eminem and Al, but i like Eminem a little less now for not letting Al do a video, but i still like him. That would have been an awesome video though...
My God, when you see it all typed out, you really see how long the lyrics to this song are! To write a parody that long and tight, just goes to show what a genius Al is. And Eminem sucks, but at least Al got his back in the AlTV Interview!!
I love this song. Eminem is a precious little baby if he won't let Al do a video of this parody. Eminem says that if that happens then he wouldn't be taken seriously.
Get over it Slim, people take anger, violence, and homophobia pretty damn seriously you twit. Besides there are tons of Eminem parodies already and Slim parodies himself in his own videos-just watch the video for The Real Slim Shady. Besides, Em parodies so many people and insults tons of them. He's an arrogant fucker. I used to be a big fan of him but now i only seldomly listen to some of his songs. In my opinion he's sold out and his music has gotten much worse
Al has been doing a kick ass job for over 25 years now
WAYAlbuquerque you damn bible basher: get a life and stop trying to push your bullshit beliefs onto everyone else. If he read the bible he'd end up stoning prostitutes rather than slapping them! Even if Eminem is really as messed up as he claims to be (which i beleive is infact a marketing gimmick), what he needs in his heart is NOT some guy who lived over 2000 years ago who's powers had been over eggagerated through the power of the urban legend and chinese wispers for over 100 years before a little book was written about him. I don't care what you belive in WAYAlbuquerque, but stop trying to push your values onto everyone else - religion has caused more deaths and hate in the world then anything else you could possibly think of. I apoligise to other non-bible-bashing christians that I may have offended.
BTW: It is a bit wanked off Eminem didn't let Al do a video, it could have been awesome.
Wow leakeq, intolerant much?
