Kid Cudi - Maniac (feat. Cage & St. Vincent) [Lyrics in description]

[TheBirdofTokyo]

Cage has an obsession with jars. I have listened to every single one of his songs and probably 2 or 3 an album have a jar in the lyrics.

[MrPizzakool]

came from syndicate :P

[MegaGodfather12]

i remember cage...hes the real slimshady

[ITarantula]

Fuck Cudi, Cage =ennelz!

[MrNjhc]

Cage owns this song!... (Correction) "Maniac" by Cage, ft Kid Cudi and St. Vincent

[eltrono22]

St. Viencent! :D

[verbalvomit1]

fuck it whatever hes thinkin about hes on a evil level this is a evil song cudi made a song not even ryming on a demented level songs called no one beleives me i dont give a damn evil if we were built in his image the devil has something to fear i doubt cudi is on a satanist level but this song just explains who cudi is hes a punk rock rapper and making sick shit like this is his talent except the martian

[nikbatesNLB]

can people STFU about the Illuminati and shit like that? Everyone swears like they are this evil society that seeks to control us, but really, even if they control our music, what does that mean? They don't control what I listen to. It doesn't affect me. And Satanism? HAH yeah religions should help guide us, not govern us. Take it for the morals they all seek to teach, not for factual truth. You know why? It's all made up. I'm all for religion, I like reading the books. But it's not truth.

[GreenIInk]

There's no way he is part of the illumanati, music artists can never be i the illumanati, they are just puppets, you have to be part of the bloodline to be apart of the illumanati. But Scott is not a puppet, not in my book. He is a leader, I respect everything he does i love his music no matter what. CUDDER<3

[LickedLips]

Love this shit

[Pepperoni60x]

Paint the hole blacker means that he's lighting a bowl and he's smoking it until it's gone

[IPostStuffWhenever]

@Pepperoni60x You're a fucking idiot

[SeeJaysOnly]

They both shoulda had like 6 verses on this track.

[BlackSheepDream]

Cage is the shit, check out his songs Teen Age Death and (Down) The Left Hand Path!

[mrcoky]

i like this song a lot i wish it was longer.. i will listen it one more time

[Rayne4mdaLv]

I love the song he sampled the "paint the black hole blacker" from. I didn't know it was featuring St. Vincent as well though. That's pretty sick.

[darkskyhero1]

dumb ass nigguhS just listen to the song

ppl who believe the illuminati exist are just STUPID..

[mizsosweet]

@darkskyhero1 exactly illuminati or not dont we love this dude for his music??? shut that stupid illuminati shit DOWN!!!

[d0zi7]

@darkskyhero1 yeah and people that can't spell nigga right are stupid as fuck. Go study the Italian Renaissance or listen to Immortal Technique and earn some knowledge

[thrashSJ]

i can trust cudi...he aint no illuminati..

[lilchico1010]

in the album that "black hole blacker" isn't playing in the backround so is this unofficial or do i have an unorigional copy of the album(bought at Borders)

[Rikset11]

its not easy to outdo cudi, but i never doubted cage, he's a nut

[YOYOdaMOOSE]

video for this is gona be sickkkkkk

[sxatqepl]

I got high as fuck ta dis shit

[essjaie]

the beginning, the lyrics are paint the black hole blacker.

[GREASYBATHWATER1]

what are they saying in the back, it sounds like, paint those black holes blacker? but im not sure.

[washburnplayer25]

I listened to this song over and over when I dropped acid for the first time.

It was nearly life-changing.

The bass completely succumbed me entire being and the chorus sent me to high and higher plateaus every time the beat shifted.

And the lyrics made sense completely, and somehow I saw what Cudi and Cage see when they get succumbed by the darkness.

[LourdesHinojosa]

@washburnplayer25 what did you see? sounds interesting?

[mazaratill]

old school , new school

you need to learn though

i burn baby burn like disco inferno

%90 of you WONT know what song thats from

new school disgrace

[afroninja75]

What are they saying at the beginning before Cudi starts rapping?

[afroninja75]

What are they saying at the beginning before Cudii starts rapping?

[teddybeartoe]

@callofdutyhacker7 It's true man but don't even bother trying to educate the ignorant. They won't listen, they'll just ridicule.....I'll probly catch some shit just for commenting supporting you....

[callofdutyhacker7]

EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT CuDi's hand at 0:21

Its the sign of satanism. Search it if you dont believe me. I really love his music and everything but satanism is not my thing, ive heard rumors of cudi belonging to illumanati which is a satanic group but i never believed it. PLEASE SCOTT MESSCUDI. DONT DO THIS TO US

[iAmAUglyAssNigga]

@callofdutyhacker7 Manee They Tryna Say That This Means The Horns For The Devil Mane FUCK THAT SHIT ! If Thats The Case Then The Texas Longhorns Are Satanism's Too ! Smh

[mwat1402]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga

you can say all you want, but look it up ...

the origins of the sign is a satanic sign =)

and listen to the lyrics of these worries.. no almost every song on man on the moon 2

if you know something about illuminati you would know what cudi is going tru :)

[jrometitan]

@mwat1402 he said in the interview that most of the album is about expressing his former addiction to Coke. damn. call him a former drug addict but saying he satanic is ridiculas

[d0zi7]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga Yeah. Considering the fact Cudi is from Texas. How 'bout Jay Zs triangle he throws up? Oh wait. He's just teaching us what shapes are. Go look at the Republican flag with the Elephant and the 3 stars. Tell me which directions their facing.

[d0zi7]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga And also could be true he ain't apart of the Illuminati but people need to open they third eye. Times 'bout up nigga

[VibezProductions93]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga well not for nothing but it is very similar to the ms13 gang hand sign....

[YetiRSVlogs]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga Damn, I wanted to shoot my face out reading that. Maaneee. l2beducated, shit.

[Nightking2007]

@callofdutyhacker7 Shut the fuck up.

[Thisiskolby]

@callofdutyhacker7 Pffft Satan aint evil... He plays a fakin fiddle. Lol derp

[TheDeathpool]

@callofdutyhacker7 illuminati is not a satanic group you tard, it first started in the middle ages, the church(the government at the time) didnt want people learning about science, math and a lot of things, so a group of people formed together and created the illuminati, now a days its basically the governments icognito name, the "devil" doesnt even exist, music artists just use that as a metaphor towards the government, because they wont let you tell the whole truth aka censorship

[thegoldboi]

@callofdutyhacker7 LMAO MAN dont even even start some stupid shit like that on here get outa here with that shit kid

[optim23]

@callofdutyhacker7 lucky god and the devil aint real!

[wyntir0128]

@callofdutyhacker7 LMFAO!!!!! ur fucking stupid!!

[jrometitan]

@callofdutyhacker7 man ive literaly heard that every rapper belonging to illumanati. enough of this mess.what happend to that sign just meaning rock on or rockstar.dont over think dudes

[suhvere]

@callofdutyhacker7 ok bro first of all Illuminati isnt a bad thing its a belief that all higher class rich people go with , secondly Illuminati doesnt necessarily mean its satanic. It simply means you believe in something created you to be the higher authority ! haha if it was satanic the market wouldn't make clothing attire and symbols . it would be illegal based on the religious views of other people like me a catholic . it'll be a big controversial issue

[samiscrazycool]

@callofdutyhacker7 hahahahaha cudi a satanist? man he makes music and gets stoned. He couldnt give two fucks about religion or your illuminati bullshit.

[FreshToDeaph]

@callofdutyhacker7

ok, what if he is a satanist? whats that effect you and how you live your life? thats right it doesnt. he doesnt even rap about it. chill bruh.

[Juanpablolop]

@callofdutyhacker7 u are a fucking idiot. go fucking pray to your god at church not on youtube bitch

[BluLantern]

@callofdutyhacker7 scott is not down wit the illuminati

[jadapac43]

@callofdutyhacker7 The sign is an international sign for peace, please stop spreading stupid rumors. The Illumaniti died out long ago. Even if they did exist members wouldn't throw up signs like gang members. They also weren't devil worshipers, they were mainly scientists. Illumaniti = enlightened ones. They could've have had some weird practices but they didn't worship Satan. I am getting annoyed with anyone who sees a celebrity do something with their fingers assume they worship the devil

[Wilkesy28]

@callofdutyhacker7 or its a C...

[xXBioscarsXx]

@callofdutyhacker7 lol your a dumb fuck...thats the sign to block the evil. Its a metal thing has nothing to do with satan. Anothher for it is to rock on. again has nothing to do with the devil

[RandomXxrainbowsXx]

kid Cudi and Cage? Cant any better :)

[iAmAUglyAssNigga]

F the only hater..! Thumbs up if you will join me to murder that fool for disliking a good song! :D

[mjwalk5]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga im the 2nd hater!!!!

[EpixClan]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga your name is, #iAmAUglyAssNigga

[iAmAUglyAssNigga]

@EpixClan Uhmm, Yes?

[EpixClan]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga lmfao. why.

[SomethingPrettyNew]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga Some people just don't understand, anyways not everyone has the like the same thing. If you don't like something that majority of people do doesn't mean that they're an idiot. "Now" thats just being a maniac

Nice name btw.

[SomethingPrettyNew]

Good point though. If you really don't like him, you shouldn't be allowed on the

INTERnet.

[YetiRSVlogs]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga Murder cause someone doesn't like a song? you;re even worse then him now . Hater.

[irdysfunctional]

[mikeysk8s]

this song bumps so hard in a car

[molllyc]

i've literally played this over 50 time sin the last 2 hours.

i fucking love Kid Cudi.

[broadwaybabe07]

Cudi did it again!

[KubrauACudi1905]

Kid Cudiiii <3<3

[MrGudMuzic]

this track is sick, only Cudi could have done this, like his style is evolving and you can't get sick of it. People who don't like Cudi are bandwagon hoes, whom follow the trend. Cudi is underrated and I think personally it makes him.............him really.

[RichyMitch925]

i wonder if they sampled something, like the beginning, i wonder what it is

[Jxfocused]

@RichyMitch925 its a st. vincent song.

[mgolden3133]

@shararaya "paint this black hole blacker, Paint the black hole blacker"

[Srk08]

I swore at first I thought the voice was saying "paint the back hoe, black girl" and I was like WTF? Lol, I know what she's saying now.

[shararaya]

@Srk08 what is she saying?

[darphinparis]

most people proly think that cudi is the only one singing..... cage needs respect

[nmiclisse]

@darphinparis st vincent?

[jfigueroa53]

Can't wait for MOTM 2 :D

[NaturelleMe]

Does anyone know why his account was suspended? :|

Kid Cudi Makes me feel better about myself being that loser teenager who ever one finds extremely weird and just hangs out with herself, detached from the world. Thanks Cudi <3

[billyjoetoe]

this song trips me out. your body listens to it but as it goes on it feels like your mind and thoughts just start floating away...cudder is the man

[PoolvdSGK]

1 person cant say Cudi right...

[portaPottiesRule]

cudi said that this album was gonna be more about his real life, whereas MOTM 1 was more focused on his dreams. He said it would be the good and bad aspects of his life. Even the darkest parts. Maybe this song is about that.

[CloudandCo]

wow cage and cudi? thats just amazing

[iJBoyt]

I am feeling CuDi on the darkness part. I like being awake in the darkness, and I mean pitch black, I just sit there in my bed and just see shit and if I am listening to my iPod, which is mostly composed of all of KiD CuDi's songs, I go to another dimension.

We should make it darker :D

[tmacvy10]

All the real CuDi fans know what this song is about.

We all are maniacs

[jamasization]

@tmacvy10 well said. im tired of people only liking him for his hit songs and not appreciating his music for what it really is.

[Rico11756]

Its Like An Outkast/Emo Song

[SleepingSamurai24]

This song is straight raw, Imagine being engulfed by darkness and you're so used to being in the dark, you come to like it. "This my new hideaway, this is my tomb" this stands out and speaks to me the most. Damn only cudder can speak out on this

[TheSlowBoarder]

HELP!!!! WHAT DOES THE GIRL SAY IN THE BEGINING? it like part of the beat and i cant decipher it

[jamasization]

@TheSlowBoarder paint the black hole blacker, paint the black hole blacker.

[DkZeria]

Cud-Err mutherfuck-err!!

[silvastian]

the beat,lyrics,his voice crazy... lol

[jfigueroa53]

Cool :)

[lmaoSofiaaa]

I like kid cudi, but he isnt very original.

Just Remixes of other peoples songs.

[ackapollo]

@lmaoSofiaaa ru retarded he realeses mixtapes whihc why you prob hear songs that have been "remxied" no bitch its been SAMPLED for the MIXTAPE. God you don't know shit about music and then your going to say some stupid shit like that gtfo.

[QuiVirOdiosus]

Darkness = metaphor

Cudi would never talk about darkness in its realest sense.

Just my opinion, it's free to be disputed.

[lacrosseplayer6]

that guy is trying to be like drake and cudi at the same time HAHA epic fail

[TWill800]

Lyrically he's not that good but he totally makes for it

[hondakidrese]

Do I think cudi is evil don't know. Do I think he is good don't care but one thing I do know is he is entertainment, damn good entertainment too.

[03PennState03]

Holy shit. Such a good song. When I hear it I isolate myself and fall into this blackhole

[scheffboyrd]

kinda shady lyrics but gave me a boner either way..

[hondakidrese]

You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

[hondakidrese]

Please start from my last post.

-Evil men that want to be rulers over man. The world is on the break of a new consciousness a new power but don't be fooled it belongs to god.

God is the one particle from which all things proceed . Then god is the only reality. If God can never be no less than perfect. Then the only reality is perfection. there is no evil only infinite good. So where does the devil exist, no where he is nothing. The devil is a lie. Don't be stupid. Free your mines

You sh

[TSwishBeats]

He also said something about that in an interview that he stayed a lot by himself in his appartment when he made the album. Just imagine for yourself, if you was alone AND on drugs for a long time, wouldn't you possibly feel like this too? Cudi is awesome, can't wait for MOTM II

[TSwishBeats]

He was struggeling a lot with stuff, and he said in some interview that he was on drugs everytime he made music. I mean. Even weed fucks most people up a bit mentally after they have used it for a long time, and Cudi was on COKE. Anyways, I'm really feeling this song, it's dope as every single song he's on and I don't think it's too dark. It's mostly about him being drugged down, staying by himself I guess. RAGE

[hondakidrese]

I am a cudi fan and I think he has made great music and will continue too make great music. But the truth will never come from his lips. Cudi is definitely part of something that began since the beginning of to Time. But please dont be fooled the devil does not exist. people have been told forever and ever the devil is a lie. But still people choose to believe in thing they can't see or is not scientifically proven to be true. There is no demonstration of the devils power anywhere but threw e

[haha0wn3d]

@hondakidrese opinion

[Rocketback01]

@Ratm78213 i honestly will, sounds like i'd like him

[bellaco301]

wtf is she sayin???? "paint my black hole blacker".

[littleweapon12]

@bellaco301 yea except its the not my

[mj21619]

People Needa Chill. Cudi is basically saying, he likes being by himself. In his own world. Nothing/ No one around him. & The only place he can do that is at night. When it's dark. In his dreams.

[IC3Cold01]

kid cudi going emo love it hhaha

[subl7me]

Cage goes so hard

[Rocketback01]

the only reason he's talking about all that darkness is because he is showing us his reality, getting off coke and whatnot he was mr rager.. this also has to deal with man on the moon when he brought us in his dreams.. he is amazing

[actSHAUN]

People are WAY too paranoid. All of a sudden because the lyrics are "dark" he's illuminati. Hes an artist. He can express himself however he feels. There are countless bands with "dark" lyrics, yet none have been accused of being associated with the illuminati. Let artists be artists.

[much2flyy]

yea i agree and personally im sick of hearing about that illumanati shit ppl talkin bout it to much its annoying

[67amaru]

idk cudi i like the song but im starting to wonder about the aluminati jus like with jay-z cuz this song is about how much u love the black and love darkness..............idk cudi

[TheMoonManAlex]

i swear. i fucking hate youtube. how are they gonna take a song by cudi, from cudis official channel?!

[cracker4life100]

call of duty black ops november 9th along with kid cudi's man on the moon 2, and thanksgiving... dang november is doing it big this year

[Batmandee1]

@cracker4life100 haha i know bro, i was like Damn! Cudi and Black Ops

[MMamiii]

what is that girl singing?

[gangstasmurf06]

@MMamiii "Make the black hole blacker"

[JayEis1337]

@MMamiii Make the black hole blacker, Paint the black hole blacker. If you want to listen to the sample, St.Vincent- The Strangers. She really isn't bad neither is the original

[dazednconfused41]

Kid Cudi is brilliant. I wonder if he knows The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. Glad he turned me on to St. Vincent.

[DudeImWayBetter]

But I don't think he sold his soul. It's just getting a little weirder with the music he puts out.

[DudeImWayBetter]

Another song that sounds sketchy on his new album ghost and this. I'm gonna have to wait till the album drops to make a full decision. What's also sketchy is that he reps the Satan sign. Hmm we'll have to wait.

[R0xxInTheRockiestWay]

i love it..different from waht im used to. i think having the lyrics in the description helped me to get a feel for it.

[ILyaVin]

Love this song!!! Check out the FIRST Kid Cudi ft Cage - Maniac REMIX at my channel and tell what you think;P

[MissMultiracial]

I love Cudi and all but listen to his lyrics "Yeah, I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but

Yes, Ay....I love the darkness, yeah, I'd like to marry it.....I love the dark, maybe we can make it darker (darker)

Give me a marker"

That sounds sketchy.

[iAmAUglyAssNigga]

@MissMultiracial Yeah, this song bangs but it does kinda make me think. They're talking about they love darkness so much.

[WizzyKhalfa]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga Cuz the Title is "Maniac" they stick to the topic.. unlike other rappers *cough* Wayne

[iAmAUglyAssNigga]

@WizzyKhalfa I'm not hating, I love Cudi, but it just sounds kinda weird to me. But, I LOVE the song!

[gearkilla789]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga i think he sings like that now because hes a luminati and a free mason if i spelled it write lol

[irdysfunctional]

@iAmAUglyAssNigga well, cudi is rather...troubled, for lack of a better word. he doesnt sing about a bunch of depressing things for no reason, he's a troubled man, an he translates that into orgasmic music, instead of suicide, thank god:D

[Wellsongs]

@MissMultiracial This song was written while he had that cocaine problem. That's why he's taling about going darker and stuff.

[willyp22]

@MissMultiracial . They are describing theirselves as maniac. complete madness and evil. Often the scarinest things we can't see in the dark. so naturally they feel the freeiest and comfortable. While they are in the dark.

[ackapollo]

@willyp22 I feel comfortable in the dark, I feel its way I belong. I believe in happiness, I don't believe in Jesus. Its really disgusting and just plain rude for you people always opposing everybody and thinking your way is the "right" way I don't bother you with my beliefs so don't bring you into conversation that it has nothing to do it. It a mockery to a great Cudi and Cage song.

[toac13]

@MissMultiracial thats because we are taking over the world....

[KiDePiCx]

@MissMultiracial well basically he is being emo. He even said that he was going to show alot of emo. in this album. so thats why he talks about darkness n stuff. u know ?

[linusmalmborg]

I love this song !

[youngmoolacrazy]

Fucking great man!

[Jaketto25]

fuck i love this

[gogozo22]

GOOD SHIT! Cudi is one of the best
