Its also kind of an Eminem-sucking-his-own-dick song.

It IS (I would presume) Recovery's version of We Made You or My Name Is. Its a lot darker, grittier, vulgar and metaphorically slaughtering, however.

Its not a bubbly celebrity bashing single, but he is swinging at some.

AKA: There is not too much overall meaning to the track, it seems. The intrigue is in the crazy, zany, complex metaphors and puns, rhymes and wordplay and flow. But maybe, once put in the context of the entire album, it will be deeper?

I thought Eminem said that he's done with all that


Have you heard the song?

Its not purely a celeb-bashing song. He takes his normal shots at celebs. He goes in pretty hard. I think the CDQ will sound better, too.

it a song full of punchline/metaphors. Em did it that way on purpose, as a matter of fact to an extreme sarcastically. In the first verse he mentions something about people thinkin he doesnt have enough metaphoric context in his raps, well he just proved it with Wont Back Down. I would suggest people not to judge songs without hearing the whole album in order. Thats how em albums work. they all come together

It's pretty self-explanatory. Title is a dead giveaway.

Em's verse are punchlines to showoff his lyrcal prowess and Pink's chorus is just saying 'I won't back down'. Basically, throw any hardship at me and I'll still be left standing.

There's no deep thread of mystical art to it, it is what it is.

The sad thing is that I'm not sure you're being sarcastic.

But then I heard parodies of people saying not afraid.. not afraid... then it clicked. I like the part when he says take a stand and everybody and walk together. But now i also like Not afraid... so now NA is the best song of all time. I'm not kidding. It really is my favorite of all time now.
