"First off you don't know Marshall". As a Marshall, I love saying that to people who think they know me. 🤣

I like the genius expiation of this song — It is also worth noting – whether or not this is intentional – that the song’s title could allude to Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch, a word which can be translated into, “superman.” The link can be made by likening his divorce from Kim to Nietzsche’s death of God, given that the divorce essentially created a void where Eminem’s values once were (in a sense) and which are now being called into question (he’s rethinking his reasoning behind marrying Kim in the first place). Instead of nihilistically giving up on life in the wake of this divorce, Eminem wants to construct new values by which he can live that do not mean that he will be dependent upon a woman (or, as Nietzsche would hypothesise, God) to be his source of wellbeing and meaning (and, broadly, he wants all men to aspire to this goal as well).

I’m making a playlist of pop songs with lyrical connections to Nietzsche. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions
