Mr. Rager

There's no way that Kid Cudi woke up on some random day and decides to make the most powerful song ever

2 1/2 YEARS CLEAN OFF FENT IM ON MY WAY TO HEAVEN

This was my older brother’s favourite song. Rip :(

In 2012 I was driving alone on the 710 in Long Beach CA as I was on my way back from dropping off a few pounds of Indica at one of dispensaries I was in business with. I was in an endless cycle of drugs and alcohol. I had no family and my 4 year old daughter recently moved up north with her Mother and I was alone. Cocaine, THC, and liquor replaced my loved ones as I was in an endless attempt to fill the void in my life. Aside from hearing my daughters voice on the phone, nothing brought joy to my existence and my battle with depression was driving me into manic episodes of wrecklessness. Selfishly, I swerved my truck off the freeway in an attempt to end my suffering. This song was bumping on repeat as I guzzled down a bottle of rum and puffed on a blunt. My truck rolled 8 times as I was ejected and upon impact I broke my jaw. Luckily no one on the freeway was hurt. I have been given a second chance. My motto now is love life. But this song reminds me....

When I saw Cudi in 2013, he sang this song a cappella and said this was the darkest point of his life and he wanted everyone in the crowd to sing with him, and it was the most beautiful moment of my life. Let’s continue to fight our demons

17yrs....I'm finally clean. NEVER LOOKING BACK!

"Mr. Rager" is about someone who is tired of reality and seeks thrills and excitement through various means. Kid Cudi himself has mentioned feeling angry and fed up with reality at the time of recording the song. The term "rager" refers to people who party and engage in reckless behavior. The lyrics of "Mr. Rager" express a longing for a different life and a desire to escape pain, disappointment, and loneliness. The line "I'm on my way to heaven" can be interpreted as a metaphor for seeking a better state of being, whether through death or achieving a high. The music video for "Mr. Rager" adds another layer of meaning to the song. It depicts a metaphorical journey of getting "high" as a way to fight personal demons. Kid Cudi's character in the video faces challenges and violence, symbolizing the struggles one may encounter on the path to escape reality. Kid Cudi has mentioned that his alter ego, Mr. Rager, represents a different side of himself and serves as a way for listeners to relate to his emotions and experiences

i need to clear my head

"when will the fantasy end? When will the heaven begin?" damn.

so this is why people listen to Cudi.

life needs to get better man

ik you’re never gonna see this, but it’s been 2 weeks since i lost you. i really really miss you and i wish you would have told me what was going on so i could have helped you. you’re were my best friend and it’s been really tough without you in my life. i miss you and i love you. ik you think i don’t care, but that night i laid in my bed and cried until i couldn’t anymore. i really did love you and i never meant to hurt you. i’m sorry for everything that i ever did to you. i really really miss you.

Man, i killed so many zombies on Black Ops to this song. Those were the days...

Hey Mr rager 🗣️🗣️

1 YEAR CLEAN!

" u wanna b one of them yea" that hit hard

This song always reminded me of my grandfather, who was extremely depressed and ended up running off the highway and dying. He was a Park Ranger, and hearing Mr. Rager just always sounds like Mr. Ranger to me. He would always tell me crazy stories of his 15 years of being a Park Ranger—creepy and just about the beautiful scenery he would see. I still remember the story he told me that day over messages. Really wish I could see him again
