That goal was certainly accomplished with the videos shocking violence to go with it. The video has the story line of a tragedy,. Eminem suspects Sasha of cheatin on him. Sasha then disappears and Eminem is found alone in a motel room.
He then shoots himself in the chin, killing himself. His life then flashes before his eyes. Everything then rewinds to the beginning where Sasha first picks Eminem up in her car, as they drive off together. Grey lights a cigarette to smoke. Eminem has two personages again as he enters the diner. The original Eminem sits with Grey at a table, while the other is on a bar stool.
Grey takes out her cell phone and sends a text message to someone, and leaves to go to the restroom. Meanwhile, Eminem curiously takes out Grey's phone to see what she did, and is confused. He quickly puts the phone back as Grey comes back. Meanwhile, the alternate Eminem raps. The couple go to a motel room and receive a knock on the door, which Eminem opens but does not see anyone. He has a flashback of the cell phone, which shows 'Unknown caller', and a gun in Grey's car along with the lighter and cigarette.
He then tries to strangle his girlfriend, who suddenly disappears, leaving Eminem alone. He picks up Grey's pistol and shoots himself under the chin, as blood spurts from the back of his head.

He called the video 'tricky', saying that the meaning is not obvious or completely clear in the video and one must watch it a few times to find it. Jonsin spoke about Eminem's two egos seen in the video as well:. It reminded me of Alanis Morissette 's 'Ironic' video , where she's got her and her two other egos in the car I think it was him living in the now as a person going through it and him living as a person who is witnessing it and can make other choices to not be in that scenario.
