This is about the video of the song. Basically Marshal Mathers is the one in the shrink office at the start, his real identity before the fame and a father at home to Hailey. We go into his mind and we see Eminem in the elevator, his famous alter ego/second personality that is more serious and does the serious music. Then finally we have Slim Shady in the cage, the crazy side who he became during the drug abuse and his crazier music/times and ends with Eminem leaving Slim Shady locked away since he's moved on.

So it's Marshal Mathers and Eminem confronting Slim Shady (his personal demon) if you will, and I wouldn't say this is reaching since his new stuff references this.

To the point that he keeps referencing how everyone wants Shady back, the guy who would just go crazy on the mic and destroy careers in battles and beef in the Kamakazi album.

Then if we really want Shady then he will give us it and then he drops Music to be Murdered by. Going all in spitting fast, firing shots and bring up crazy controversial shit (Ariana grande concert bomb, shoot shootings) all his albums show how he's grown over the years but in the end people want Shady back.
