[ 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:]
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)

[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)
The girl he wants don't see no one into (what, what)
It seems the feelings that she had are through, through

[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,

[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)

At, at, at night

    General Comment:I think that Cudi really is a loner, and i think it's how he's always been. He often talks about having to smoke in order to stay sane and almost all of his album covers are about space which is what i think he uses weed for, trying to make sense of the universe he is in. It's not necessarily a bad thing he's a loner, in fact it just shows that he's strong enough to be alone and doesn't really need the company of others unlike 99% of people, who need to feel accepted in order to be fulfilled, he's trying to be happy with himself.

    My Opinion:He's trying so hard to tap into the pockets of the idle youth, I can't help but be turned off by the rhyme "lonely stoner" said over and over again. Hip hop is not passionless garbage! His narrative skills BLOW. He doesn't challenge any of my expectations, Kid Cudi is so awful.

    In my opinion :)

    General Comment:i think it’s just about being afraid. this dude can keep his mind occupied during the day while he's at work, or just around people in general. At night though, when the dude doesn’t have anything to keep his mind occupied he begins to slip back into that fear. So he smokes some weed, ‘cause that puts his mind at ease. and the beat goes in. it's fuckin' smooth.

    My Interpretation:Personalty i think you have to live in the life to understand this song, he calls himself the "Lonely stoner that seems to free his mind at night" i can relate to this, most of my life i've been alone and im a stoner. When the suns up its not as freeing as it is when its night. Night is when you can think of everything, the past, present, future. Being in "love" with someone and having them letting you down in the end, having feelings for the person but they have no feelings for you. This is a song that you have to relate to, to fully understand the message. I don't think you can simply just listen to it. Being depressed and walking the streets at night for no reason, lost love, loneliness, filling the numb feeling in your heart with pot, so much meaning in a relatively short song.

    Song Meaning:This song is talking about a guy who cant escape his past(slow, moe)(but you see, im not that fast) and that in the morning everyone knows him, because they dont know his past (the sun is shining, yeah he's super cool) but at night he remember's what he made of his life and only way to get rid of it is to free his mind using drugs (the lonely stoner) (with a silent sleeper he wont hear a peep, peep) so that his lonely night fades away.

    General Comment:I encourage everyone to listen to cudi's other songs. They take what he talks about in this song into more detail. This song is not just about smoking weed. It talks about how he smokes weed alone and just thinks which to him isnt bad its what he does. Hes different then other people. In his other songs he explains how his fathers death changed his life. In another
    song he talks about how he doesnt want to be remebored for his good songs but for the meanings. Personally i hate the
    crookers remix because it ruins the meaning of the song. I just lay in my bed while playing all of his songs and just think. a lot of his songs are really deep and have meaning. This song is an overview of his life

    Song Meaning:His girlfriend that he loves left him because she doesn't have feelings for him anymore. He is not really a loner, he has friends but no one can relate to the pain he is feeling. He feels like a loner without her in his life. He doesn't reach out to anyone to comfort him because they can't understand what he is going through. "The pain is deep
    A silent sleeper you won't hear a peep" All day long he only feels stress and pain and at night he barely finds enough strength in him, because he is so emotionally drained, to slip on his white nikes and smoke some weed to free his mind at night.
