|
Depression, Isolation, Paranoid Delusional Thoughts. Day and night (what, what) I toss and turn, I keep stressing my mind, mind (what, what) I look for peace but see I don't attain (what, what) What I need for keeps this silly game we play, play Now look at this (what, what) Madness to magnet keeps attracting me, me (what, what) I try to run but see I'm not that fast (what, what) I think I'm first but surely finish last, last This person feels so alone and cold through out both day and night, trapped in his own skin without a feeling or attachment to anyone or anything in the world (except for weed). I'd like to think that the lyrics actually read I keep stress in my mind which would alude to his tendency to suppress his emotions and ruminate about things that bother him. His lonliness combined with his drug use keeps him on the a thin line between sanity and psychosis (madness, magnet keeps attracting me), and anything that he does (learned helplessness and self handicapping) to escape it will fail (finish last). [Chorus:] Cuz day and night The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night He's all alone through the day and night The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night) Day and night The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night He's all alone, some things will never change (never change) The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night) Things will never change is a global negative attribution about the world, an inescapable truth for the singersongwriter that forward progress is not attainable. He is fixed, lost in a cycle that will never end, or at least not of his own accord. [Kid Cudi:] Hold the phone (what, what) The lonely stoner, mr. solo doe low (what, what) He's on the move can't seem to shake the shade (what, what) Within his dreams he see's the life he made, made The pain is deep (what, what) A silent sleeper you won't hear a peep, peep (what, what) From http://6lyrics.com The girl he wants don't see no one into (what, what) It seems the feelings that she had are through, through Can't shake the shade...depression, sadness, anxiety, fear, isolation, the bubble that seperates him from the rest of the world never leaves him. Dreams? Hopes for what could be, artificial thoughts about what what is perhaps what other tell him he should be greatful for, or perhaps the notion that even his dreams are clouded from guilt about the crap his life is and his inability to escape it. He hurts (the pain is deep), but HE WILL NEVER SHOW ANYONE HOW MUCH IT HURTS! You could never guess how much he is suffering inside, maybe because he masks it by smoking all the time. The more he looks like he has positive emotions (laughing, giggling, being high), the less you knw how much he pains. He uses weed and isolation to avoid his pain, but he is really wallowing in it. [Chorus:] Cuz day and night The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night He's all alone through the day and night The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night) Day and night The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night He's all alone, some things will never change (yeah) (never change) The lonely loner seems to free his(yeah) mind at night (at, at, at night) [Kid Cudi:] Slow moe, (what, what) When the temple slows up and creates that new, new (what, what) He seems alive though he is feeling blue (what, what) The sun is shining man he's super cool, cool The lonely nights (what, what) They fade away he slips into his white nights (what, what) He smokes a clip and then he's on the way (what, what) To free his mind in search of, To free his mind in search of, To free his mind in search of, I think the song says the tempo slows, suggesting that a change of pace might create a new feeling, a new way of looking at things, a way out. But no, not even smoking weed (the slow down, the new beat) can completely cover the sadness he feels inside. THIS IS WHERE THE BEAUTY OF THIS SONG SHINES THROUGH. DAY AND NIGHT IS METAPHOR FOR WHAT OTHERS SEE ON THE OUTSIDE V.S. WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE INSIDE. When the sun is shining (what others see on the outside) he looks like he's on top of the world, fresh, clean, money, keepin it gully. But at night (the private events that happen inhis mind) he is alone by himself. At the end of the day, he is alone without a sense of direction for where he is going. So, while you can interpret that slipping on white nikes to free his mind in search of... to be him out to cop a sack of herb, it may be that the song writer i actually saying that he doesn't havethe slightest clue where this cycle of smoking and isolation is actually taking him. Where is he going? What are his goals? Perhaps just not to feel the hurt he can't escape. So smoke one, stay up, first take care of head. |
