Eminem’s Love The Way You Lie Lyrics And Love-hate Slaps

Looking for information on “Love the Way You Lie” lyrics? Eminem should know a thing or two about love-hate relationships, considering the explosive relationship he has had with ex-wife Kim Mathers. His “Love the Way You Lie” lyrics explore the very timely issue of dysfunctional relationships through the combination of rap verse and pop chorus, sung by recovering dysfunctional lover Rihanna.

It’s hard to tell which role Eminem is playing in this song, as he is always so keen on playing the villain in songs like “Kim.” Is he the doctor commenting on the volatility of love-hate relationships and the violence they breed, or is he merely getting out his rage and confessing his sins as some sort of musical therapy?

Perhaps his viewpoint in the Love the Way You Lie lyrics is one of documentarian, as both Rihanna and Eminem’s characters bring a sense of self-awareness to their flaws; Rihanna admitting that she “likes the way he lies,” and “likes the way it hurts”, and Eminem rapping “You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe,” and “Now you’re getting f__ing sick, Of looking at ‘em.”

The Love the Way You Lie lyrics eventually descend into disaster, starting out somber and then progressing into rage, with threats and resignation. The music video likewise follows the song’s lead, and shows a couple’s love-hate relationships bursting into flames—the type of disaster that everyone sees coming but no one can stop.

Of course, one could not so expertly write a song of dysfunctional relationships without actually experiencing one…or several. In fact, in between Eminem’s numerous awards, he found time for several dysfunctional relationships. He married and divorced Kim Mathers twice. Along the way Kim tried to commit suicide and then sued Eminem for defamation of character because of his fantasized murder of her in the song “Kim.” Mathers was also sued by his mother for disparaging remarks and has also had incurred the wrath of Mariah Carey, who claims they were never an item.

Too bad for Marshall Mathers III. He won’t get an admission from Mariah, so he’ll have to settle for multiple Grammy awards, an Academy Award, 80 million albums, an “artist of the decade” title by Billboard Magazine, 29 million Face Book fans and over one billion hits on Vevo/YouTube.
