Eminem- Beautiful

I believe that this song starts with Eminem's personal story. He notes his absence from the world of hip-hop and says that no matter how hard he tries to communicate with his fans, they have to be trying to reach out for him as well. He also intimates that the song can be used for anyone who has ever felt down or has felt like an outsider.

Throughout the song, he tells of his own life, how it was hard for him to really believe in himself and that he had the ability to keep going with his songs. Even though he had people criticizing him for his songs, he kept getting back up and writing new ones. Over time, he started writing them in the style of other rappers just to try to fit in but he realized that no one took him seriously unless he was himself, so he wrote "Beautiful".

He distanced himself off from the rest of the world by keeping his thoughts to himself and doing drugs just to ease the pressure of everything else going on in his life. He finally accepted that he needed to reach out to someone and went through recovery, and it helped him go back to the true Eminem.

This song is meant for people who don't believe that they are worth anything. Eminem says that it doesn't matter how much you try to fit in with the "cool kids, even if it [means] acting stupid" because in the end, they will not be there for you. The only people who can call themselves your friend are the people who respect and like you for who you are. It shouldn't matter or affect you in any way when people start putting you down as long as you believe in yourself. Every person is beautiful and should neither judge nor be judged by other people until they have switched shoes with you, or you have changed places with them, to see qhat they have been through. Everyone has had different experiences and each perspective is different depending on what has happened to each person that makes them view the world, other people, songs, etc. in the way that they do. All you can do is be yourself and take control of your own life because you are the only one living it, and no one can take away your experiences or your future away from you.
