I Hate the way you Lie



I'm thrilled Rhianna and Eminem have a new hit single. I'm just concerned about the lyrics that makes the popular song deranged. Eminem is more famous for controversy and spewing some passionate dysfunctional issues yet he does have some talent. Lose Yourself and Mosh were good.

Rhianna is very pretty and very young yet she is very talented. We were shocked to hear of her being in an abusive relationship when Chris Brown assaulted her. Their new hit single, I love the way you lie, has a catchy tune but when you look at the lyrics, it's deranged.

Eminem is famous for his strange love hate relationship with his ex passionately rationalizes physical abuse in the song. He claims he is so devoted to making his relationship work that the next time she leaves he's going to tie her to the bed and burn the house down. People that is seriously messed up. What on earth is Rhianna doing in that video?

He goes on to apologize for being physically abusive then instantly admits his apology is a lie. Rhinana responds with she loves they way he lies. WTF? She says are you gonna stand there and watch me burn? That's OK because I like the way it hurts. She likes the abuse and she loves the way he lies when he apologises for it? That is seriously deranged. It's certainly not a happy tune for a healthy relationship.

Or how about his other new hit Spacebound. Same thing. Talks about how the girl wants to leave the relationship and how he's so devoted he’ll blow his brains out in her lap. But she's not listening so instead he'll squeeze her neck to stop her from breathing and snap her neck like a popsicle stick. That is criminally deranged.

Now we know Eminem likes to go for the shock value of drama like Cuirtin call in his Encore CD where he comes back to shoot the crowd dead but when the same bizarre message repeats itself, it isn't a good thing. I know I'm not shining example of healthy relationships but that certainly is not what I aspire to.
