    I have to be missing something here. There must be some hidden quadruple entendre here to rationalize this line.
    "It's killing me so much when I sleep, I wake up dead"

    This can't be all there is to it. I'm the one to defend most of the lines commonly criticized as bad lines, but I have nothing to say in defense of this line. This is literally kindergarten level of joking "hey I woke up dead haha". There's absolutely no defending this, unless it was awkwardly put here to have a quadruple meaning and is actually so clever it went over my head.

    I like Die Alone, the lyrics are great up until the last line. The s-----y bridge between 2nd and 3rd verse is ruining the song, and I'm about to cut that part out so it never bothers me again, but Eminem did a great job, EXCEPT this one line. Oh, and of course, the beat stops so we don't miss it.

    This is probably Eminem's worst line ever.

    This is a wild stab in the dark haha. BUT.... Scary movie 3 parodies 8 Mile... In this movie they have a huge conversation about if you can wake up dead.... Eminem is in 8 Mile. He now parodies the parody of his movie by using their convo in song :P haha, nah I'm not sure always wondered this myself. Could be wake, like funeral.

    Wake doesn't make sense, he says wake up after sleep. There's nothing to it but a bad line.

    I had a lucid dream once. As soon as I realized it's a dream, I shot myself in the head. Good times.

    I've never had a lucid dream before. I think it'd be cool to have one though.

    gonna have to disagree here.

    you could probably pick Eminem's worst line from FACK, Pimplikeness, My Ballz... something like that

    At least he was going for stupid in those songs. He tried a genuine good line here.
