All you have to do is make the first move. And he’ll be on that, no problem!

“On a wave” or “wavey” also refers to being fucked up (drunk or on pills). This could also mean that if the girl is intoxicated, Weezy will let her ride, and then he’ll drive her crazy. This foreshadows the line that comes later in the verse, “I gave her pills… she… started undressing…”

Could also be heard as “if you wave then I will serve you”, as in waving to a waiter to get their attention.

Stan is testing his body’s limits and checking out whether he truly is alive or not : “how much it bleeds”, already living near death. His complacency in physical pain now joins his complacency in grief, the two reaching their peak in the suicide he seems to be already training for.

Later in the song Eminem says he doesn’t really cut himself, it’s just something his fictional alter-ego, Slim Shady, says in his songs.
