Walk On Water

About this song

Eminem talked about the song in a December 2017 interview with Complex, saying it was more about self-doubt and insecurities. He said he has never seen himself as the figure some fans treat him as, and admitted he has put out some not-so-great albums.

What it's about

The song describes the struggle Eminem faced later in his career, after his 2009 comeback drew criticism and disinterest. The phrase walking on water is used ironically, since despite seeming like a figure of great power, he admits in each verse that he is not the godlike figure people think he is.
