This can also be considered a double entendre, because he's talking about both "dreaming", the act of aspiring to be something better, and "night terrors", which he goes into detail in the next part. He's calling people out, asking what do they know about dreaming, about actually pursuing something that you want, not just the end of the bottle. Maybe he's drunk, maybe he's high, but he's going through the roller coaster of emotions that either of the two previous drugs have on the human condition. This begins the introspection, what Cudi really thinks. Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’ You don't really know about nothin’ nothin’ Tell me what you know about them night terrors every night 5 AM, cold sweats wakin’ up to the sky Tell me what you know about dreams, dreams Tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’ You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow Rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow Second verse, we take a turn for the melancholy (which is ultimately the entire tone of the song, which is backed by the surreal, undertempo beat):
Typical party song, just living my life and yeah, not every moment is awesome, but most of them are good, and one day I'll hit it. I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold, hey I'll be fine once I get it, yeah I'll be good. This drives directly into the first round of the chorus. Don't care, living in the moment, yadda yadda. I'm actually going to skip over the first verse because it's pretty self explanatory.
It's not ground breaking and he's not "dead at the end", it's just what the song means to me personally.Ĭrush 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'ma 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 This is a theory I've had since the first time I listened to the song.
