Eminem vs. Groove Coverage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in the riddle last Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through.

The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing the song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through

Four A.M. In the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was glowin' in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through





I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics are taken from the song "Moonlight Shadow," a collaborative effort between Eminem and Groove Coverage. The lyrics tell a story about a woman who loses her lover to a violent end. The woman is unable to push through her grief and is haunted by his memory, which is symbolized by a moonlight shadow that she sees wherever she goes. Throughout the song, the imagery portrays the woman's journey through her grief and her struggle to come to terms with her loss.


The first verse sets the scene of the story, telling us about the woman's lover who was carried away by a moonlight shadow. The second verse describes the environment around the grieving woman and how the trees whisper a song of sorrow and grieving. The third verse takes place at four in the morning, where the woman watches the vision of her lover forming in the shadow. She talks about the silver night and asks if he will come to talk to her. The final verse seems to be the woman speaking directly to her lover, expressing her hopes and prayers to be able to see him again one day in the afterlife.


Overall, the lyrics create a haunting and melancholy mood, capturing the emotions of grief and loss. The moonlight shadow is effectively used as a metaphor for the lover's memory that the woman cannot escape.
