RigaMusicaAnalise # 75 Eminem "Not Afraid"

Olá pessoal

Sejam bem vindos a mais um RMA






Intro)

Yeah, It's been a ride...
I guess i had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there


(Refrão)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road


(Verso 1)
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say I'ma do something I do it, I don't give a damn
What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up if it thinks it's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still shittin'
Whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game, like a fuck-you for christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the whole universe


(Refrão)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road


(Verso 2)
Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehhhh"
Perhaps I ran the max and since hit the ground
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW
Cause I ain't playin' around
There's a game called circlin', I don't know how
I'm way too rough back down
But I think I'm still tryn to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't
This fucking black clouds still follow's me around
But it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!


(Refrão)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road


(Bridge)
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now


(Verso 3)
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
And don't even realise what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but take it through little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead
No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise
To focus only on handling my responsibility's as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle on it
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and


(Refrão)
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road




Esta semana temos um dos músicos mais polémicos dos últimos anos.




Letra: Para mim, em termos de letra é das melhores do Eminem, porque funciona como uma introspecção, que ele fez aquando da pausa que fez na carreira. A “bridge” é algo absolutamente de fantástico e que muita gente que se sente em baixo devia de ler e assumir como lema.



Vídeo: Acaba por ser o acompanhamento da letra, e o assumir de que a sua inspiração em termos de letras (e em especial no álbum anterior ao que está esta musica) não era a mesma com os problemas que tinha e que tinha que os resolver. Destaco a partir do minuto 3 a sequencia de enfrentar os problemas de frente.



Algo Curioso: a forma como ele atravessa a rua imune aos carros e o não conseguir ver o seu reflexo nos espelhos. O vídeo foi gravado em Nova Iorque e o início foi feito no barco que faz a travessia entre Nova Iorque e New Jersey.





(esta semana queria experimentar mais um tópico, que mostra o contexto onde apareceu esta musica, se possível digam o que acham deste novo ponto de analise)



Contexto: Esta música apareceu quando os problemas que o músico tinha com o álcool começaram a afectar a sua carreira. E esta musica fala disso, do facto de ter que escolher entre acabar a carreira, ou continuar, e para isso tinha que fazer reabilitação, não pela carreira, ou pela sua família, mas por si próprio.



Na próxima semana

Fiquem bem que eu também, até amanha
