    My Interpretation

    "I never gave a fuck I never a fuck about what niggas thought about me I mean did but fuck it yummzsayin" Basically he's saying that he puts out an attitude like he doesn't care what you think but on the inside he really cares about what you think.

    "They can't comprehend or even come close to understanding him" He's saying you don't understand him and you can't because he has struggles beyond your comprehension.

    "I guess if I was boing they would love me more Guess if I was simple in the mind Everything would be fine" He goes so complex into describing how he feels and with this he's saying if he didn't that way if he didn't go through the struggles that he faces then, maybe people would like him more and everything would be fine.

    "Maybe if I was jerk to girls Instead of being nice and speakin kind words But then maybe it would be ok to say then I wasn't a good guy to begin with" He's basically saying he treats women with respect and loves them but in the end they end up hurting him even though he didn't do anything to hurt them.

    "But now my mind is all crazy, crazy, crazy... They gat me thinkin ine human, Like I came in from above, above, above... Feelin like a airplane in the sky But then they say I'm crazy, crazy, crazy... They gat me thinkin ine human, Like I came in from above, above, above... Feelin like a bird sittin high" He's trying to put to words how he is feeling. He feels like things aren't real like he's living in a fantasy and thinks he's going crazy because he can't find an explanation to what is going on with himself. It sound as if he is having feelings of depersonalization and/or derealization.

    "I be that man on the moon I'm that man on the moon And imma do what I do so Do you hey hey I be posted with a blunt and a brew my dude I'm that man on the moon I'm up up on the moon" He tries to escape himself by using drugs primarily weed. And again he feels like he's going crazy.. he feels different than everyone else like possibly an alien hence his nickname for himself "man on the moon." He uses his drugs to get his spirits up also another reason for his nickname.

    "Close my eyes, hide in the dark It's a curtain call, come one come all" Not exactly sure about this part to be honest. I'm still analyzing it.

    "All I try to do is make it simple The ones that make it complicated Never get congratulated" He tries to explain how he feels as vividly as he can but he doesn't understand what's going on with himself. But he rarely gets congratulated because he can find any simple way to put it.

    "I'm sumtin different in all aspects Don't want a woman jus to love her assets Still wife her up even with her flat chest The type to get hurt But that's the past tense" He's not like everyone else he's not gonna try and get the hottest girl he can find. He wants one he loves even if she's not the prettiest or that has been used and hurt a lot but, he doesn't want them to be hurt in the future because he has respect for them.

    "But now my mind is all hazy, hazy, hazy... I be thinkin that I'm wrong, Becuz they used to call me lame, lame, lame... But my swag was a little different But now my mind is all hazy, hazy, hazy... I be thinkin that I'm wrong, But they the ones that blame, blame, blame... I gat the last laugh nigga" He is saying he's not sure about things in his mind because he feels like he's not right because he used to get sh*t for being different. But now he's the one on top not them.

    The meaning basically is he was mistreated in his early years, before he was famous. In this song he is trying to explain how he was treated like he was alien, hence "From above, above, above, above..." he explains it more thorough throughout the song. These lyrics are off, and they don't include a couple parts of the song. when he says, "You gon' love me man..." meaning that when hes famous they will love his songs and regret how they treated him. He closes the song by saying how he was called lame, but he has a life, hes rich and fly, and hes awesome, and they are the ones who are lame....

    This may be inaccurate, its my interpretation of it... cause it could be a true life story for him, and maybe this is how he was inspired to create this song, to rub it in the haterz faces.

    He is all fly n shyt , but they made him feel alien, you know? so hes fly and cool, but so good he really is out of this world, thats how rockin his style is, hence... "Man on The Moon"

    well the lyrics in this shit are completely off someone must not be a true cudi fan, but I agree with CGrizzy's reply. any fan of his music can find a way to relate to him in your own way. he is a musical genius. love this song and the fact that he is a rapper with musicality. something i can respect.

    i think this song can relate to fame. "Like I came in from above, above, above... Feelin like a bird sittin high"

    like how when you're famous, people put you on a pedestal. they think you're perfect, like you're a God from heaven. So i think he is writing about how people have a misconception of him; he's really just like everyone else.

    I feel like he is writing about how everybody doubted him. Making fun of him just cause he is different. Even though his different is so god damn refreshing to everyone that listens to it. He basically is saying fuck all of you haters I don't give a fuck and I am gonna rap from the heart because in the end I am going to be the one that is actually satisfied with what I have done.

    My Interpretation

    'Becuz they used to call me wayne, wayne, wayne...'

    I think it's more like 'lame, lame, lame'... Beautiful lyrics, especially the first verse.;

    wow what a good song so inspiring cudi is re-inventing the game and i dont even listen to that much rap but you gotta love when more hip-hop artist use more strings in their songs and stray away from those generic beats and rythms.

    I think this song is about how he's so different. That they thought he was 'from above', because he wasn't doing what everyone else was doing. I don't know, but that is just what i think. I love Kid Cudi tho, so amazing.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
