Day 'n' Nite (Nightmare) Lyrics

Cover art for Day 'n' Nite (Nightmare) lyrics by Kid Cudi

i'm not really seeing any of those explanations. i think the song is about him, kid cudi. he starts out as just a lonely stoner with friends who aren't exactly real friends. he gets in trouble from time to time even though he tries to stay away from it and that's probably where the stress comes from (that comes from the madness the magnet part, which is really good). so to escape it he just gets high at night and writes rhymes. he starts working hard and pursuing rap, but is still alone and has trouble dealing with his past and everything. he eventually starts getting attention and money (slip into my white nikes), but even though he has people around him and it's cool being a rapper, he's still alone (i get that from the chorus "he's all alone some things will never change" and "he seems alive though he is feeling blue", and i really like the line "the sun is shining man he is super cool, cool", like yeah he's super cool, i guess it's cool"). so basically, the song is about kid cudi starting out as a lonely nobody stoner, working hard to get what he's achieved, and even though he is where he is, not much has changed other than the "cool", flaky things that are expensive but hardly hold any real value.

and the mistakes are ridiculous i still don't know how so many songs can have those kinds of mistakes if you just listen to it that plus the self-promotion right in the middle kind of bothers me

i was having trouble describing with words what i think this song is about, but i agree with you.

cheers
