The first verse kid cudi is explaining how he feels about his music and how others respond to it.
"these voices they tell me go"
"but why should I ever go"
because cudis sound is so unique and different most people do no understand. And people fear what they do not understand.
"man I'm so comfortable here"
"why should I head to a place where people live in fear"
he is comfortable because he is just being himself. And he asks mother moon (the music industry) why should I head to a place where I am afraid to be myself. He is talking of artists that have no voice literally slaves to the industry and only worried about if people like their music. They live in fear of expressing who the really are because they are afraid people will not accept them. The rest of verse is pretty self explanatory
"mother moon tells me that people need my help"
the music industry is calling out to kid cudi because he is not afraid to express himself and be real.
Now that kid cudi told the moon how he feels the moon responds
"you got to do it alone man, you got to do it alone"
the song is about kid cudi but he uses it to show others that in life you have to express who you are and not be afraid of what others think because if you do you will never please everyone and be in constant fear of rejection. Cudi expresses his dream to one day help mother moon with his music and inspire other artists to help the music industry making it more creative and unique.
