Me too, that's why in the back of my mind, I've always thought that this song can be INTERPRETED as either being about a random woman or about drugs. Notice I said "interpreted". You can take the song however you want, there is no wrong answer when it comes to art. Except for when people think Space Bound is about Eminem being an alien or some shit. Then...that's obviously wrong

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

It's amazing to me people didn't get a clue from the title alone.

The song is called "Space Bound." The space/drug use metaphor is as old as time.

"Let me out of this place/I'm out of place/I'm from outer space/I just vanished without a trace"

"Rocket Man/Burning up his fuse out here alone"

Everyone on TR has already heard this argument a million times man, just stop. He's just trying to point out a slightly possible connection that he thought might work..

It's not really that important what the song is about (although I'm sure it's about drugs). What makes this song so good is that it could be about a lot of different things - it kindda gives people a chance to relate to it however they want.

The issue with that is that it's too specific.

After a year and six months...

That's a specific time frame that should jive with a certain scenario, be it about his drug use or Ronnie's relationship with his last girlfriend.

Don't act like I was calling you out for being wrong. I was discussing the issue with you, bitch.

It's not like I was being hostile, until you decided to opt out of conversation and act like I was being a dick or something by bringing up a point that didn't jive with your statement.

No, we don't know for sure, that's why this is all hypothetical. Sure, he could be talking about Donkey Kong, but nothing in the song supports it. It's a discussion.
