Lyrics for 3 A.M as interpreted by sfgiants1993

3 A.M Lyrics
(Opening)

There's no escaping
There's no place to hide
You scream "someone save me!"
But they don't pay no mind
Goodbye

(First Verse)

You're walkin' down a horror corridor
It's almost 4 in the mornin' and your in a
Nightmare it's horrible
Right there's the coroner
Waitin' for you to turn the corner so he can corner ya'
You're a goner, he's on to ya'
Out the corner of his cornea he just saw you run
All you want is to rest cause you can't run anymore you're done
All he wants is to kill you in front of an audience
While everybody is watching in the party applauding it
Here I sit while I'm caught up in deep thought again
Contemplating my next plot again
Swallowing the Calotapin while I'm nodding in and out on the ottoman
At the Ramada Inn holding onto the pill bottle then
Lick my finger and swirl it round the bottom and make sure I got all of it
Wake up naked at McDonald's with
Blood all over me, dead bodies behind the counter, shit
Guess I must've just blacked out again
Not again


(Chorus)

It's 3 A.M. in the morning
Put my key in the door and
Bodies laying all over the floor and
I don't remember how they got there but I guess I must've killed em'
Killed em' (x2)

(Second Verse)

Sitting nude in my living room
It's almost noon
I wonder what's on the tube
Maybe they'll show some boobs
Surfing every channel until I find Hannah Montana then I reach for the aloe and lanolin
Bust all over the wall paneling
Dismantling every candle on top of the fire place mantle and
Grab my flannel and my bandanna then
Kiss the naked mannequin man again
You can see him standing in my front window if you look in
I'm just a hooligan who's used to using hallucinogens
Causing illusions again
Brain contusions again
Cutting and bruising the skin
Razors, scissors, and pins
Jesus, when does it end
Phases that I go through
Dazed and I'm so confused
Days that I don't know who
Gave these molecules to
Me, what am I gonna do
Hey, the prodigal son
The godfather for one
Very methodical when I slaughter them

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

She puts the lotion in the bucket
It puts the lotion on the skin
Or else it gets the hose again (x2)

(Third Verse)

I cut and i slash slice and gash
Last night was a blast
I can't quite remember when I had that
Much fun off a half-pint of a Jack
My last vic and a half, a flashlight up Kim Kardashian's ass
I remember the first time I dismembered a family member
December I think it was
I was having drinks with my cousin
I wrapped him in Christmas lights
Pushed him into the stinking tub
Cut him up into pieces and just when I went to drink his blood
I thought I oughta' drink his bathwater that oughta' be fun
That's when my days of serial murder manslaughter begun
The sight of blood excites me, that might be an artery son
Your blood curdling screams just don't seem to bother me none
It's 3 A.M. and here I come so you should probably run
A secret passageway around here man there's got to be one
Oh no there's probably none
He can scream all that he wants
Top of his lungs
But ain't no stopping me from chopping him up (up)

(Repeat Chorus)

i'm not sure if i would consider this one of his "serious" songs. contrary to "murder murder" and other early songs about crime and murder, eminem/marshall/slim no longer kills people out of desperation but because his brain is apparently messed up from all the drugs he use to do. i am hearing "a fleshlight of Kim Kardashian's ass." my opinion? it takes me a while to decide whether i like these new songs because his material and style is drastically different per album. being an enthusiast for his early material and underground styles, these new songs don't measure up; contrary, new eminem is new eminem so i stand by my artists.

This song is awesome. People complaining about his "accent" need to get over it. He's rapping from the point of view of a serial killer and the voice fits the song perfectly. I am so stoked for Relapse after hearing this and We Made You.

the reference to a bucket, a hose and lotion is from "The Silence of The Lambs"

The first single to actually instill some confidence from me in his new album. This is very good and much more the kind of music I enjoy from Marshall.

Also more of a fan of earlier/underground Em, trying to get into his new stuff. This song grew on me, but it took some time. Hated it the first time I listened to it (the voice, made worse by the chorus) but it's not bad. I like the theme, good openening song, but still doesn't hold a candle to "Kill You" and it's awesomeness.

I miss the eminem. His newest songs are mostly slim shady coming through, what happened to serious songs like, like toy soldiers. I like beautiful though.

i agree wit Glocuster
Eminem cant be respected as a hip hop legend cuz of his immature side... songs like like toy soldiers, sing for the moment, lose yourself, are all serious songs with incredible content.
He shows lots of skill on his new album in terms of flow and vocabulary and speed, but he still lacks the content... you cant base a career on songs about your mom, your daughter, and pretending to be a freak killer or rape stories
hes gotta be fucked in the head

This song, along with the music video, is an evil demonic song in more ways than one. While most of the song is a fictional story of a deranged serial killer, It does have some realistic elements. First of All, as most people know, Eminem is also known as Slim Shady. Slim Shady is like the evil alter ego of Eminem. So in this song, as shown in the video, Eminem transforms into/gets possessed by Slim Shady and goes around killing people. Then the next day, after he turns back into Eminem, he can't remember killing those people, mostly because it wasn't Eminem that did it; it was Slim Shady.

The name of the song holds dark significance. 3 a.m., or rather the time between midnight and 3 a.m., is generally referred to as the "witching hour", while 3 a.m. is referred to as the "devil's hour". According to legend, it is when witches, demons, and ghosts are at their maximum power. So, it would make sense that the "demon" Slim Shady would be able to kill so many people at 3 a.m.

Also, at the end of the song, he does start chanting "Evil Rise". This is shown in the video, as every time the word "Rise" is said, Eminem raises his arms up.

Personally, I think its obvious that Eminem has sold his soul to the devil in exchange for fame and fortune, as so many of his songs have demonic elements to them.

The reference to the mannequin, "Kiss the naked mannequin man again", may be alluding to the serial killer Jeffery Dahmer who kept a naked male mannequin in his room to act as an imaginary homosexual partner.

For the record I did not mean to contradict myself, after a few listens it grows on you. This song and a few others are good. I can't stand bagpipes in baghdad or same song and dance. Top songs on the album are...
1. beautiful
2. deja vu
3. we made you
4. 3am
5. my mom (though it has fake accent)
6. Underground
7. my darling
