    I don’t get it. People say the song is deep. It’s a 3 minute song and it’s just about a bad relationship. And Eminem couldn’t defend himself in the video. The girl whooped him and he couldn’t save his own life.

    Don't see a special meaning its the same old 'violent' relationship song he has done for years.

    This one just sounds a lot better imo

    Good guy is worse song on the album, with the worst beat on the album. s--- sound like whispy queefs with one of the least invested sounding Eminem verses in history

    From the video it looks like to me, maybe he beat her or killed her as she had to dig herself out of the grave in the beginning, so she went back and killed him and put him in the grave instead. So I look at it as, Be careful cause the bad s--- you do can come back to haunt you.

    There is no meaning it's just a s--- filler song because Eminem has nothing else to talk about nor any interesting music vision in 2018

    i used to think there was no double meaning cuz i sorta wanna assume every love song since 2010 isnt 25 to life part 2, but this video really made me believe there was something i wasnt seeing all along

    its just a metaphor for the repetitive cycle of domestic violence. He Killed her, she kills him. Also that DV is a 2 way thing not just the sterotype of men hitting women. Thats what I got from it anyway.

    Did you watch the video in reverse or something? Literally at the beginning of the video she digs herself out from being buried.

    Hated Nice Guy and Good Guy at first and wound up being two of my favorite tracks off of it.
