Lyrics : [Kid Cudi:] 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 [Chorus:] 'cause 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) [Kid Cudi:] Hold the phone (what, what) The lonely stoner, Mr. Solo Dolo (what, what) He's on the move can't seem to shake the shade (what, what) Within his dreams he sees the life he made, made The pain is deep (what, what) A silent sleeper you won't hear a peep, peep (what, what) The girl he wants don't seem to want him too. It seems the feelings that she had are through, through

Questions : Is there something in the song lyrics that stood out, and do those lyrics make the song different in some way? Does the song have any under tones that change the way you feel when listening to it? Is there a emotion attached to the song? What does the line “I think I’m first but surely finish last, last” mean to you? Can you relate to this song in any way?

Answers : One lyric that stood out more than the other is “ The lonely loner seems to free his mind and night, night”. This lyric makes me think because it’s talking about someone that is alone and how he can only think at night when no one is around, and he truly shows himself at night when people can’t see him. The song seems to have a depressing and very real sadness that change the song completely. What I mean by “real” sadness is that there are people in the world that can relate to this song fully. I’m trying to say that it’s not difficult to relate the song, even though personally I don’t and hope I will never have to relate to this song’s true meaning. The emotion attached to this song. I think that the emotion is sadness because the song has some sad lyrics and it gives off the sad vibe. I think the line means that the narrator thinks he is the best at something but then compares himself to someone better and get’s his self esteem low again. I cannot relate to this song, but I do understand how some people could relate to the song if they just went through a breakup or they are introverted.

paragraph I think the theme of the song is that there is a character that is either a introverted person, or is very lonely and at night as the song says, he can express himself the best because there are not as many people around. I think that this is telling a story of a man that likes to be alone. But, in the song it also mentions a girl that doesn’t like the character anymore the same way she used to. That could signify that the character has been through a breakup.
