HOLOPIS.COM, JAKARTA – Lantunan milik rapper dan penulis lagu asal Amerika Serikat, Marshall Bruce Mathers atau kerap disapa Eminem berjudul “Headlight” merupakan hits keluaran tahun 2013 pada album “The Marshall Mathers LP 2”.
Diketahui, pria kelahiran Missouri tersebut juga merilis sebuah video klip lagu itu yang membahas hubungannya dengan ibunya dan permintaan maaf atas kesalahan yang diperbuatnya.
Lebih lanjut, selama lebih dari 2 dekade Eminem menuangkan rasa kesalnya di masa lalu terhadap sang Ibu dalam lagu-lagunya, salah satunya ialah lagu “Cleaning Out My Closet”. Maka dari itu, dirinya menciptakan lagu “Headlight” untuk ucapan permintaan maafnya pada ibundanya.
Berikut Lirik Lagu Headlight – Eminem
Mom, I know I let you down
And though you say the days are happy
Why is the power off, and I’m fucked up?
And, Mom, I know he’s not around
But don’t you place the blame on me
As you pour yourself another drink, yeah.
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
I went in headfirst
Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what verse
My mom probably got it the worst
The brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are
Did I take it too far?
“Cleaning Out My Closet” and all them other songs
But regardless I don’t hate you ‘cause, Ma,
You’re still beautiful to me, ‘cause you’re my mom
Though far be it from you to be calm, our house was Vietnam
Desert Storm and both of us put together can form an atomic bomb equivalent to Chemical warfare
And forever we can drag this on and on
But, agree to disagree
That gift from me up under the Christmas tree don’t mean shit to me
You’re kicking me out? It’s 15 degrees and it’s Christmas Eve (little prick just leave)
Ma, let me grab my fucking coat, anything to have each other’s goats
Why we always at each other’s throats?
Especially when dad, he fucked us both
We’re in the same fucking boat, you’d think that it’d make us close (nope)
Further away it drove us, but together headlights shine, a car full of belongings
Still got a ways to go, back to grandma’s house it’s straight up the road
And I was the man of the house, the oldest, so my shoulders carried the weight of the load
Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight years old,
And that’s when I realized you were sick and it wasn’t fixable or changeable
And to this day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but
