Eminem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
I never meant to give you mushrooms girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
I went to Johns rave with Ron and Dave
And met a new wave blond babe with half of her head shaved
A nurse aid who came to get laid and tied up
With first aid tape and raped on the first date
Susan an ex heroin addict who just stopped using
She loved booze and alternative music
Told me she was going back to using again
I said wait first try this hallucinogen
Its better then heroin and booze and gin
Come here lets go in here
Who's in the den? (It's me and Kelly)
My bad lets try another room (I don't trust you)
Shut up slut chew up this mushroom
This will help you get in touch with your roots
Walking barefoot butt naked and run in the woods
(Oh hell I might as well try them this party is so drag)
Oh dag I didn't mean for you to eat the whole bag (uh)
I never meant to give you mushrooms girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
I never meant to give you mushrooms girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
Yo Sue (get away from me I don't know you)
Oh shoot she's tripping (I need to go puke)
I wasn't trying to turn this into something major
I just wanted to make you appreciate nature
Susie stop crying, I don't hate ya
The world is not against you
I am sorry your father raped you
So what, you had your little coochie in your dad's mouth
That ain't no reason to start wiggin' and spaz out
She said (help me I think I am having a seizure)
I said I am high too bitch
Quit grabbing my t-shirt (let go)
Would you calm down? You starting to scare me
She said (I am 26 years old and I am not married I don't even have any
Kids and I can't cook)
I am over here Sue
You are talking to the plant
Look we need to get to a hospital
'Fore it's too late
'Cause I never seen one eat as many 'shrooms as you ate
I never meant to give you mushrooms girl (whoops)
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault (it's an accident)
I never meant to give you mushrooms girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
Susie where you going you better be careful
(Leave me alone, dad I am sick of getting my hair pulled)
I am not your dad
And try not to swallow your tongue
Want some gum?
Put down the scissors before you do something dumb
I will be right back just chill baby please?
I got to go find Dave he is the one who gave me these
John where's Dave at before I bash you
He's in the bathroom
I think he is taking a crap dude
Dave pull up your pants
We need an ambulance
There's a girl upstairs talking to plants
Chopping her hair off
And there's only two days left of spring break
How long do these things take to wear off?
Well it depends on how may you've had
I took 3 she had the other 22 caps
Now she is upstairs crying out her eye balls
Drinking Lysol (she is going to die dude)
I know and it's my fault (my god)
I never meant to give you mushrooms girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
I never meant to give you mushrooms girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
Now you sitting in the corner crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
My God, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
Susan, please wake up!
Please! Please wake up! What are you doing?
You're not dead!
You're not dead! I know you're not dead
Wake up, Susan, wake up, God

Lyrics
[Chorus]
I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
But now you're sitting in the corner, crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
But now you're sitting in the corner, crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
[Verse 1]
I went to John's rave with Ron and Dave
And met a new wave blonde babe with half of her head shaved
A nurse aid who came to get laid and tied up
With first aid tape and raped on the first date (Ooh)
Susan, an ex-heroin addict who just stopped using
Who love booze and alternative music (What up?)
Told me she was going back into using again (Nah)
I said, "Wait, first try this hallucinogen
It's better than heroin, Henn, the booze and the gin
C'mere, let's go in here, who's in the den?"
"It's me and Kelly!"
"My bad" (Sorry)
"Let's try another room"
"I don't trust you"
"Shut up, slut, chew up this mushroom
This'll help you get in touch with your roots
We'll get barefoot, butt-naked, and run in the woods"
"Oh hell, I might as well try 'em, this party is so drab"
"Oh dag" (Mmm)
"I ain't mean for you to eat the whole bag"
"Huh?"
[Chorus]
I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
But now you're sitting in the corner, crying
And now it's my fault, my fault (I'm sorry)
I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
But now you're sitting in the corner, crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
[Verse 2]
"Yo, Sue""Get away from me, I don't know you"
"Oh shoot, she's tripping'"
"I need to go puke" (Blehh)
"I wasn't tryna turn this into something major
I just wanted to make you appreciate nature
Susan, stop crying, I don't hate ya
The world's not against you, I'm sorry your father raped ya
So what you had your little coochie in your dad's mouth?
That ain't no reason to start wigging and spaz out (Nah)"
She said, "Help me, I think I'm having a seizure"
I said, "I'm high too, bitch, quit grabbing my T-shirt (Let go)
Would you calm down? You're starting to scare me"

I don't even have any kids and I can't cook"
"(Hello) I'm over here, Sue (Hi)You're talking to the plant, look
We need to get to a hospital 'fore it's too late
Cause I never seen no one eat as many 'shrooms as you ate"
[Chorus]
I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl (Whoops)
I never meant to bring you to my world
But now you're sitting in the corner, crying
And now it's my fault, my fault (It's an accident)
I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl
I never meant to bring you to my world
But now you're sitting in the corner, crying
And now it's my fault, my fault
[Verse 3]
"Susan, wait, where you going? You better be careful"
"Leave me alone, dad, I'm sick of getting my hair pulled"
"I'm not your dad, quit trying to swallow your tongue

I gotta go find Dave, he's the one who gave me these
(I'm a kill him)
John, where's Dave at? Before I bash you"
"He's in the bathroom, I think he's taking a crap, dude"
"Dave, pull up your pants, we need an ambulance
There's a girl upstairs talking to plants, chopping her hair off
And there's only two days left of Spring Break
How long do these things take to wear off?"
"Well, it depends on how many you had"
"I took three, she ate the other 22 caps
Now she's upstairs crying out her eyeballs, drinking Lysol"
"She's gonna die, dude"
"I know and it's my fault"
"Oh my God"
[Chorus]
I never meant to give you mushrooms, girl
I never meant to bring you to my world (I'm sorry)
But now you're sitting in the corner, crying

I never meant to give you mushrooms girl

I never meant to bring you to my world
나 절대로 너를 나 처럼 만들려고 했던게 아니야
Now you sitting in the corner crying
너는 이제 구석에 앉아서 울고 있구나
And now it's my fault my fault
이건 내 잘못이야, 내 잘못
[Verse 1]I went to John's rave with Ron and Dave
난 Ron, Dave와 John의 레이브 파티에 갔어
And met a new wave blonde babe with half of her head shaved
그리고는 머리의 반을 밀었던 뉴웨이브 금발의 여자애 하나를 만났지
A nurse aid who came to get laid and tied up
섹스를 하고 응급 처치 테이프로 묶여서
With first aid tape and raped on the first date
첫 데이트에서 강간 당하려고 했던 조무사였지
Susan -- an ex-heroin addict who just stopped using
Susan 이었어, 헤로인 중독이었다가 끊은지 얼마 안됐지
Who love booze and alternative music (Whattup?)
술과 알터너티브 음악들을 좋아했었어 (안녕?) (booze 는 맥주나 보드카 류의 술)
Told me she was going back into using again (Nah!)
나한테 다시 약을 하려 한다고 말했었지 (안되!)
I said, "Wait, first try this hallucinogen
난 말했어, "기다려, 우선 이 환각제 부터 해봐
It's better than heroin, Henn, the booze or the gin
그게 헤로인이나 Hennessy나 술이나 Gin 보다 나아
C'mere, let's go in here" "Who's in the den?"
이리 와봐, 같이 들어가자" "누가 안락실에 있는거야?"
[R] "It's me and Kelly!"
"나랑 Kelly야"
"My bad, (sorry) let's try another room"
"몰랐어, (미안) 다른 방에 가보자"
[G] I don't trust you!
나 너 못 믿겠어!
"Shut up slut! Chew up this mushroom
"닥쳐 이년아! 이 버섯이나 씹어
This'll help you get in touch with your roots
이게 니 조상님들을 다시 보게 해줄거야
We'll get barefoot, buttnaked, and run in the woods
우린 맨발로, 궁뎅이를 까고, 숲 속을 달릴거야 (말 그대로 위 라인의 roots를 touch할 수 있게)
[G] Oh hell, I might as well try em, this party is so drab
오 썅, 하길 잘했네, 이 파티 너무 지루해
"Oh dag!"
"아 씨발!"
[G] What?
왜?
"I ain't mean for you to eat the whole bag!"
"너더러 봉지를 다 먹으라고 했던건 아니었어!"
[G] Huh?!

[Verse 2]
"Yo Sue!"
"야, Susan!"
[G] Get away from me, I don't know you
나한테서 떨어져, 나 너 몰라
Oh shoot, she's tripping
이씨부랄, 이년 맛탱이 갔어
[G] I need to go puke!! (Bleahh!)
나 토해야 겠어! (쿠헥!)
I wasn't trying to turn this into something major
이렇게 일이 커지게 하려고 했던게 아니란 말이야
I just wanted to make you appreciate nature
니가 자연에 감사하게 해주고 싶었을 뿐이야 (자연적인 환각제)
Susan, stop crying, I don't hate ya
Susna, 그만 울어, 난 널 싫어하지 않아
The world's not against you, I'm sorry your father raped you
세상이 널 버린게 아니야, 아빠가 너 강간친건 미안해
So what you had your little coochie in your dad's mouth?
그러니까 너가 아빠의 입에 니 작은 보지를 넣은건
That ain't no reason to start wigging and spaz out
겁을 먹거나 성질을 부릴 이유가 전혀 없단 거야
She said
그녀는 말했지
[G] Help me I think I'm having a seizure!
도와줘, 나 발작 할 것 같단말야!
I said, "I'm high too bitch, quit grabbing my t-shirt" (Let go!)

"Would you calm down you're starting to scare me"
"너 진정 좀 할래, 날 겁주고 있잖아"
She said
그녀는 말했지
[G] I'm twenty-six years old and I'm not married

(Hello!) I'm over here Sue, (hi) you're talking to the plant, look!
(저기!) 나 여기 있어 Susan, (안녕) 너 식물에 대고 대화하고 있잖아, 야!
We need to get to a hospital 'fore it's too late

Amazing writer. You can see the scene visually from his adlibs and story telling. The guy is an amazing story teller.
Rafał Dawid
Correct
The Blackpilled Joker
I HATE this song it is by far the worst and weakest song on this album of his compared to all the other songs on this album of his. Which in my opinion were way more deep personal and profound but this song is just plain stupid along with the ridiculous skit that goes with it. The Lounge skit for track 10 should have been his scrapped unreleased left out Slim Shady LP song Take The World With Me Ft Pacewon & Bizarre. As for track 11 instead of the weird awful song My Fault track 11 should have been his scrapped unreleased left out Slim Shady LP song Ghost Stories aka Demon Inside but a finished completed version of that song of course.
