* "Castle", the penultimate track to ''Revival'', starts as another track dedicated to Hailie, this one framing how Eminem raised her in conjunction with his brewing career. However, the third verse -- [[RealitySubtext speaking as an Eminem from Christmas Eve, 2007 who's long been famous]] -- takes a turn for the horribly tragic as he contemplates how unfairly exploitative it was to drag her and Kim into his spotlight, [[CelebrityIsOverrated deeply regretting the fame but finding no way out]]. [[DownerEnding Then the track closes with]] [[DrivenToSuicide the sound of him ingesting pills... followed by a sudden thud]].

* '"Like Toy Soldiers", a call for peace in the violent feuding among rappers, which has resulted in many good rappers (Music/TupacShakur, Music/TheNotoriousBIG and others) losing their lives and having their voices silenced forever. It doesn't help that it samples an already-devastating song that's also about losing friends and peers to something the narrator could've helped prevent ("Toy Soldiers" by Martika, which is about friends of hers who died from heroin addiction).

I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up that whole night crying.

to:

I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up that whole night crying.crying\\
'Cause daddy felt like a bum
See daddy had a job\\
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom\\
And at the time, every house that we lived in\\
Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block\\
And your mom, was saving money for you in a jar\\
trying to start a piggy bank for you so you can go to college\\
Almost had a thousand dollars\\
'Til someone broke in and stole it\\
And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your mama's heart

* "Stan", about a LoonyFan who goes over the edge because of his obsession with Slim, and Slim finally writing back, telling him about an episode he saw on the news that made him sick, about someone who tied up his pregnant girlfriend and went off a bridge -- and realizing that it was actually Stan. The song is inspired by the death of Eminem's uncle Ronnie, who took his own life in 1991.
