    I was 10 when this song came out. I was in the back seat of my mom's car on the way home from school and a guy pulled up next to us to make a right turn. I heard like 5 seconds of it and it was the best song I'd ever heard. Then he drove away and I had no idea how to find it. Today I heard it in a movie trailer. I finally fuckin found it.

    My brother Jose died at the age of 24 a month or so before his 25th bday. He was a lovely character who constantly went out with friends, got wasted and was just known by many to know how to have a good time. During his time in the hospital hundreds of friends visited him to the point where the hospitals floor was completely full. On the day of his unexpected funeral the crowd seemed to multiply beyond belief, Many people remember him as someone full of life, anytime I hear this song I can’t help but think of him, he might’ve been “crushing up” and “drunk as fuck”but damn I just hope his last few hours as a man with life where lived to the absolute extreme. I only smoke or drink on occasion never to the extent that he did. I know this is a lot of yapping, but if you take anything away from this is to live life to the fullest but also
    Be careful bc you never know when you’ll go from having a good time drinking, smoking etc to your life being completely over in a matter of seconds. Have fun, drink do drugs and enjoy your adolescence but also don’t take it too far and remember who you are.

      ⁠@@Joel-wj9qlit’s normal to do things and try them when your a teenager. If you don’t think that’s normal I apologize for the shitty childhood/adolescence you had.
      In my experience (I’m 32) people who didn’t experiment with drugs or partying in adolescence bc of their parents or whatever usually end up trying drugs at some point. Usually in adult hood. When you’re no longer surrounded by people paid to give a shit about you (high school) and when trying drugs can have a much nastier impact.
      I’d rather realize what I wanna do in adolescence and figure things out from there , than not try anything than go into adult hood with no experience in life. How can you than relate to your peers without the same experiences ? And I’m not talking about peer pressure I’m just saying in general you’ll be less mature. Not just trying drugs but life experiences in general ; drugs are a huge part of the human experience unfortunately.

    I’m glad people can find comfort and like inspiration or relation to them chasing their dreams through this song but the way it comforts me is totally different in a sad kinship kind of way.
    “You don’t really care about the trials of tomorrow, rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow” resonates with so many nights in my life. I often just lay awake till the early hours of the morning heavy with the enormity and burdens of the world and my life on my mind.
    I listen to this song when I feel hopeless because I feel like it captures giving up and falling into a deep depression or addiction or both and many other inner struggles so poignantly. Being trapped in your head and your suffering and feeling so distant from the world.
    It’s comforting because it makes me feel less alone I guess. Like the awful feelings I am sitting with can be put into words.
    Just felt the need to put it out there. Art can be interpreted in many different ways and has different meaning to everyone.
    For me this song just resonates and perfectly encompasses hopelessness and dragging yourself day to day because you have to.

    Crush a bit, little bit
    Roll it up, take a hit
    Feeling lit, feeling right
    2 AM, summer night
    I don't care, hand on the wheel
    Driving drunk, I'm doing my thing
    Rolling in the Midwest side and out
    Living my life, getting out dreams
    People told me slow my roll
    I'm screaming out: "Fuck that"
    I'mma do just what I want
    Looking ahead, no turning back
    If I fall, if I die; know I lived it to the fullest
    If I fall, if I die; know I lived and missed some bullets

    Tell me what you know about dreaming, dreaming
    You don't really know about nothing, nothing
    Tell me what you know about them night terrors, every night

    Tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
    Tell me what you know about night terrors, nothing
    You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
    Rather lay awake in the bed full of sorrow

Back in the days everything was just about skating, drinking beers and cheap rum, smoking some bad weed and have fun with the hommies, now they are all in different places i dont know if they even recognize me now, we always listened to this song at every moment we could, now i listen it and reminds me to those times, im bout to turn 24, i've been struggling with a major depressive disorder since i was 18, bout a month ago the person i thought who was gonna spend her life with me, left for things that i cannot control, i've been really deep down since, but also i remember all the difficult shit i pass trough growing up in a country like Nicaragua, im still here, listening to that same song with a little smile on my face, cus despite everything all that bad shits that happens to you, theres still hope when u realize life is to short to just complain every day, i started to do some exercizes, walk every day, drink some water, eat some fruits. hug your mom, hug your dog, hug yourself, and even if i dont know u at all, i love u, everything shall pass

    It helps to pursue happiness, for we can dedicate more values. The money, fame, and respect are already in the values, not the other way around. Once we carry enough of them, we won't have that many rooms for our good 'ol depression and addiction.
    The hope is still there!

      To me the main theme in his music is coping with the fact that he is alone. Growing up in small town MN being the only black kid in town you really lose sense of self identity. And when we moved to a more urban area I quickly found out that I just as removed from the black community as I was from white people. Although Kid Cudi's life is and was completely different from mine I was able to find a bit of comfort knowing that I am not the only person dealing with being a Martian among men.

    listening to this in tearssss.
    I come from Syria and witnessed 3 years of war there, then moved to Sweden, the place I call home because I absolutely love it there but I've been living the worst 6 years of my life in Germany now, after my Family forced me to move here from Sweden, the country I fell in love with. Here I've been severely heartbroken multiple of times, got depression, anxiety and became a big time introvert with no friends. I hated the past 6 years I hate the person I've become.. Now I've graduated Highschool and I'm moving back to Sweden to pursuit my happiness. The only thing that kept me alive was music, and especially Kid Cudi, he saved me and my life. For that I'm always gonna be thankful to Cudders. I love you man, your music is my therapy & you are my savior.

      mushrooms, man. trust me. I was a combat medic in the army & was deployed to Baghdad at the height of war. Came back with something called "treatment resistant depression" & after years on multiple antidepressants & calling VA suicide line several times a year, mushrooms were a gift from God. I understand what you're going through.

      And he still is. Not really a “kid”, but I come back to this one a lot. Heard it first in a rough time in my life. Im out rn, but the attitude still remains. Feeling empty a lot, running towards anything to make you feel excited or more accomplished, drive that empty feeling away. This definitely resonates, and I hope more people can find his music as the years go on.
