So mean, so mean

Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah

I'm feeling strange in the night
I'm in myself I feel I'm thrown into a fight
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, nothin's right
My skin is burning when my rock begins to speak
There's something going wrong with me
I am changing rapidly
I'm feeling stronger, more alert, I'm on the move
I smell her scent and I know I will find her soon (soon, soon)
the one to come and free me from this fate
I'll find her, it's not too late, hey, hey

Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah

I'm a beast in the night
I'm on the prowl and I'm hoping to find some light
you call it heaven, I can do it for the same
Aint nothing wrong I'll be feasting on something brave
A sexy lady who's pure, she has the cure, uh
I hope she can find a man within the beast, and
I hope she saves me from the curse I have to beat, hey
I hope she figures out a way to save my soul
yeah, to save my heart, hey

Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah

Nananananananana, whoooa
nanananananana
Nananananananana, whoooa
nanananananana

I watch the sun collapse and tuck up in the clizzoud
I am the lone wolf
Go where I wanna
Let the moon shine be the guide to the lizzight
Even when I stray away the light never left me, uh
I learn to follow my instinct
Blinded by the light, rather that than the evil
Fill another place in a room full of people
Try and be the same bitch you know you're not a sequel

You're fate will be whatever it shall be (be, be, be, be)
We'll fight no more,
I let these things just be (be, be, be)

Every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah
And every time, the moon shines I become alive, yeah

Nananananananana, whoooa
nanananananana
Nananananananana, whoooa
nanananananana

    General Comment:I think alot of people are looking too in depth for this one.

    "My skin is burning when my rock begins to speak"
    "I'm feeling stronger, more alert, I'm on the move"
    "smell her scent and I know I will find her soon"
    "I'm on the prowl and I'm hoping to find some light"
    "A sexy lady who's pure, she has the cure, uh"

    Kid Cudi is speaking about cocaine.
    -Skin burning- side effects of cocaine- he even references the word rock in this line
    -smell her scent- means that he sniffs cocaine
    -Im on the prowl- means that he just like a typical addict is searching for his drug/cocaine and this drug gives him light/enlightenment when he uses it
    -a sexy lady whos pure, she has the cure- references cocaine again and wants the pure kind because it is like a remedy for his pain and desire.

    General Comment:i totally vibe with this whole album. everything he says is literal experience and revelations.
    it can be a lonely spiral journey. we all want a mirror. (not a literal mirror)

    General Comment:Its not hard, guess what? Its aboutweed again, what does he do other than smoke....but he uses symbolic references of weed as a "lady" and him as a "werewolf"...dendendency theory: Kid Cudi=Weed(the victim he devours) is like Werewolf=a young innocent girl(the victim he devours...come alive a t night, he comes out at night, parties are at night, his concerts are at night, he is basically out at night(when the moon shines), .....to people that smoke weed they usually want pure weed without seeds, he was a "pure" "lady"...he gets the scent....during parties and concerts people smoke, he smells weed he wants to smoke. Wereworf, hes a beast that only comes out at night,....like a werewolf, he becomes this huge smoker/weedheadd at night, although im guessing he smokes in the morning afternoon too...

    Song Meaning:i feel this song is about him not being able to sleep at night so he wonders around at night because it helps him clear his mind. when he talks about a girl i think he means weed "I smell her scent and I know I will find her soon" and i also think its about not fitting in with other people during the day but he becomes a completly different person at night

    General Comment:i think this song is about how he wants to get to know this girl but the "My skin is burning when my rock begins to speak" aka his dick needs some action haha and "A sexy lady who's pure, she has the cure" aka she will hopefully give him ass
