Guts Over Fear Lyrics

[Bridge: Eminem:]
Feels like a close, it's coming to
Fuck am I gonna do?
It's too late to start over
This is the only thing I, thing I know

[Verse 1: Eminem:]
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is
Find different ways to word the same,...

    When Em says "feels like a close, is coming to, fuck am I, gonna do?" He is saying that he has been in the rap industry for so long, from- D-12, slim shady, marshall mathers, 'Eminem' his time is coming to an end. Em is on his closing stages now with his music although he can go a lifetime with his lyrical mind. "Fuck am I, gonna do" shows us that Marshall doesn't know what to do when his time is up.
    "Find different ways to word the same old song" suggests to us that Em thinks his song are just words from his old songs and that his running out of lyrics to use in his songs.
    "Lift yourself up, when you feel like I felt" he's speaking to the rest of the world when he says this, he is showing that he used to be weak and had nothing to fall back on, he is telling you to stay strong with no matter what you do.

    Now this is strictly my interpretation of the song but I feel it is right or in the right direction. Eminem will always have music to make he is a lyrical genius he will always have stuff to pull from regardless of the topic. I feel this song is directly speaking to the people of the world. It is a brand new song yet i only heard it 1 single time on a popular radio station always playing the same songs over and over, yet I only hear a new EMINEM song 1 time when monster and berserk played over and over. Why is that?now bare with me here I am no consiperacy theorist,i base my views on factual evidence. So if you know how the rap industry and the world is controlled you should agree with me. Everything we do is categorized and planned for us to like,do,not do, whatever. Higher ups in power control all of that more specifically the illuminati. That is why people with ZERO talent make it big for a minute then get slashed down when they are no longer an asset. However Eminem is in the perfect position to subliminally speak to the people without getting lashed at or ridiculed because of how big he is. anyways,my interpretation is that he is telling everyone to not bow down to what society deems acceptable or "cool". We fear what we do not know or what we "cant control" Eminem is finally breaking free from the grasp of the illuminati and is letting everyone know to open your eyes and break our grip as well. They control everything we do even the modern clothes and even popular slang. So ya,open up your eyes,dont be afraid of it and i promise you will never feel more free in your life. I recently had my eyes opened up and now everything seems so clear. If you read this, do some research on that all seeing eye and you will quickly realize its everywhere. Ex. I was letting my daughter watch gravity falls the other day(a kids show) in the title sequence it has all kinds of illuminati stuff,IN A KIDS SHOW!!but do some research then from Eminems recovery to current,you will realize what he is really talking about. Everything from curtain call to relapse refill he was under the grip of them.just look and understand,do not be afraid,stand up and get your life and mind back!

    Guts over fear is about Eminem feeling the need to inspire as many people as possible through his music before he retires.

    I think it means his career is coming to an end. Thisnkast album is going to be like a flashback of his career. Its basically his resignation
