For years, I've played this video as a solemn reminder that when it comes to my struggles with depression, you are your own worst enemy. Almost 3 months ago I lost my Wife to suicide. Didn't have a clue that she was depressed. It's a sad reminder, that during the ONE time in our marriage when she needed to be saved, I couldn't save her from herself.
This song has such a deeper meaning than expected. it’s him fighting his battles and him ending. it was his pain , his battles taking over him. he made this to let us know. I’m so grateful for this.
Wow yall are soo late. I just came back i remember listening to this when i was 12. Im 21 now. I love this song as it makes me remember my childhood that shaped me and gave me vision to dream!
I think this video is a representation of the inner battles of Scott and how he turned into Mr. Rager. At the start, the innocent, drug-free Scott is breaking into an abandoned building: his mind. As he makes his way around, he sees his inner demons and problems and tries to fight his way through them and defeat them. All this happens while the drugged out/famous ( could be drugs, could be fame, we never know what's truly causing his mental conflict) version of Scott , "Mr. Rager" , observes from the top floor. Scott appears to be winning at the start, however the sheer number of problems and demons outweigh his power and his will to defeat them. After a long and unsuccessful battle, Mr. Rager kills Scott, bringing an end to Scott's struggle (Mr. Rager wins the battle and ends Scott's attempts to rid himself of this toxic part of his mind. The problems/inner demons that Scott was fighting against, however are still prevalent) . Mr. Rager takes over Scott Mescudi's psyche and mind, the innocent version of Scott is dead - murdered by the drug-fiending Mr. Rager, who is the new Scott Mescudi. ( At the very end Mr. Rager is seen at a mental therapy clinic and the therapist doing something called the counting method. A technique used for modulating and mastering traumatic memories in which the therapist counts out loud to 100 while the client silently remembers a traumatic event. Immediately afterwards, the recollection is reported, discussed and re framed; a common therapy technique used by psychologists.) Awesome Video !
reminds me of the hardest period of my life. selling my body, doing anything for drugs, smoking before school, during breaks, after school, before each meal, before bed, after waking up, before going somewhere. self harm, self deprecation. abusive relationships, peer pressure, a concoction of mental illness. different labels. different therapists. then came treatment. lots of tie dye shirts (if anyone else has been to rehab let me know if this is a collective thing), medication, trauma bonding, tears, breakdowns, not being able to eat because i could only eat when i was high and not so obsessive. i’m now almost 1 year sober, engaged, have moved out of my parents house, graduated two separate schools, and work full time. i’m grateful that i went to treatment. had i not, i would be dead. sorry for the random post, just remember laying in bed during treatment, listening to this song on my little ipod nano to help me sleep.
seeing this at 11:14 am on January 21, 2021. This is a reminder for me 6 months from now. I hope to accomplish so much this year. I'm done missing out on life and my dreams. This is to a better tomorrow.
Dude, just remember, it's not your fault. Society, the system is rigged. It's not a reflection on your potential. No matter what happens, just keep doing your best, but don't take it personally.
Dedicated to all the kids like me. Everytime I listen to this words, after all the years, I feel a friend in you. Thank you Cudi, you really helped me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who can relate.
I lost one of my friends to suicide... the morning that he passed I was listening to this song and I remember thinking this song is so beautiful. A few hours later I found out that he passed I went back and listened to the song and payed attention to the lyrics and it really hit me. To cope with his death I played this song basically on repeat for about a month and I still listen to it frequently. I feel like “ I’m on my way to heaven” was a sign that morning that he passed.
Summer 2018 I was playing this song nonstop, only thing that stop me from ending it was my 2 lil precious chihuahuas I thought about em that no one will take care of my dogs if I was dead ,I decided to stay for my dogs
I got into kid cudi cus of my brother we are 8 years apart he is 22 now when I was younger I thought he was the coolest person so I did everything he did and listened to everything he listened to but the one person that really stuck was cudi and 2 years ago he moved out and he left me a shirt a kid cudi shirt from like 2010 and I remember I used to beg him for this shirt and here I am wearing the shirt listening to kid cudi quite possibly one of the best artist of our times I’m so happy I found cudi he has helped me so much and I thank my brother for being so dope keep raging guys and remember there’s a man on the moon always 🖤 🌙
Bro wtf we are like the same person, I also have a brother who is 22 and we are 8 years apart and the reason on why I am such a big cudi fan is because of my brother crazy
For someone who has never experienced any form of depression, self doubt, addiction or chronic low esteem... this song will catapult you to that realm.
Kudi makes masterpieces left and right and makes them for not just him but for kids and who ever else listens to his beautiful music and makes a difference in people's life. When I found this songs years ago it changed my life

Listen to this as a 12 year old. Love the song. Thought I was connecting. Lost my father, he loved “The Prayer” by Cudi and it was great knowing he thought of it as it was. He’s now gone.. listening to this after 6 months since, just the meaning, lyrics, everything, what a beautiful time of music. I see a lot of people with relative comments.. I hope you all find your own way through your pain.. we are all on this same video for a reason. I love you all.
I remember watching this when it first released around 2012! I was in a dark place! Was on the verge of suicide and 8 years later I'm a certified nurse , uber driver and traveled the world .. anything is possible! I'm currently battling the covid virus but this won't stop me either! I'm determined thanks to music like this! Thank You Kid Cudi 💯❤🙏
Kid cudi will always be amazing. He was one of the first rappers to start rapping about mental health and feelings. Back then people really wouldn’t really listen to music wit that stuff in it. It’s inspiring how much music like this has came along. Cudi is the greatest of all time and will continue to be
i have been coming back to this song for the past 6 years. i would listen to it when i was little not understanding what the meaning truly was, but a few years passed and this song got me through things i cant express cause of how hard they were to handle. it truly is so comforting to hear these words remembering the good they did for me. i cant explain how important this song is to me. Thank you Scott.
15-09-2024 working for my exam that's 8months from now cudi is my motivation to keep pushing through my lows i am not giving up and i will give my best from this moment on. see u after 8 months
This song has always represented the mental anguish of loneliness and that feeling of boundless rage we end up relying on, and how hard we struggle and struggle without accepting ourselves. The gang members being ones personal demons, the kudi we follow who feels like the heroic and brave one is actually the one unable to accept anything, the one who deals with everything through violence and rage. The final Kudi, the accepting one, he is the one that represents that part of us that understands where our trauma, our source of pain is, that which makes us lash out. And is the only one to ultimately put a stop to the Rage, through acceptance
During a period of my life when I didn’t know how to process my trauma, I was full of deep RAGE and this song helped me release it. Thank you for your music Mr. Kid Cudi. Helped my brother too, through his frustrations.
Wow it’s crazy how much symbolism is in his videos opening the locks to the building like the locks of his mind, fighting off all those demons inside his mind and the Kanye shot was sick. getting overtaken by them, still fighting to break away only to be killed by himself in the end reborn as one.
This song is Getting me thru this awful cold or flu i have rn,but it deffinitly wouldent be the first time this song has hepled me overcome the shitstorm of life.🖤🖤🖤
Bro I just woke up from 4 years of addiction to drugs thank you kid cudi I really understood you man I got you Please come to Ethiopia we are poor but sure we will show you great time
Song is about internal struggle, fighting yourself. Awesome song and brings attention to mental health. Cudi was deep in depression and I'm glad he seeked help. His music helps people get through and is inspirational.
this song has been with me through the most difficult times in my lfe. somehow, im feel like im slowly slipping again. this song along with do it alone (bigger than you), soundtrack 2 my life, and these worries- theyve all been on repeat in my head for the past few months. all i want to do is cry and just end it all. im trying really hard but waking up in the morning has become such a task. i truly ask myself why im alive and why the fuck im even here. there are times where i appreciate being alive but the majority of the time- i just want to disappear. the tears and immense sorrow just doesnt stop
I am a Gen Xer who only recently discovered Cudi this past year. It's been a tough couple of years but we keep on going. I am deeply moved by Cudi's music and it has helped me to even put a name to my internal daemon. Mr Rager and I will always be battling and yet one. Thank you for helping save 40+ businessmen with families.
Cudi always connected to a part of me I was to naive to understand as a kid. I knew i was off, and had demons. They dragged me through dope holes, jail cells, had me on the streets. I didn't even know what I was lashing out against. I'm grateful for everything that's made me me, but I'm more glad still I could stick a knife in the heart of the kid fighting myself. His example of dealing with addiction, mental health, and society's expectaion of normal were one of the few things that gave me the dignity to keep trying. I've drank enough I thought I wouldn't wake up, been hanging from a neuce, and had guns to me head not even feeling anything. It's almost a cliche at this point, but this man saves lives.
It took me a while to interpret this song and the music video to it’s actual meaning. I define this video as Cudi’s mind. A traumatic experience that he’s been through before. Him breaking into this abandoned building is him first entering the music industry, dealing with the flaws and the corruption and what it’s really like to be in it. Him going up is his level of fame increasing, showing and revealing the dark side even more to him. When he’s on the level with the people he’s seeing it’s the pressure of many things, the drugs, the fame, the pressure. It’s his inner demons that he’s facing trying to fight everyday. The more and more people attacking him resembles the more difficulties he’s facing. When Kanye west shows up and he swings at him but misses this shows how he was blaming others and attacking the people he loved, without seeing the full truth. When the girl shows up he sees promise in love, thinking that it’s maybe his way out, that love can really help. When she puts the salt in his eyes, in blinds him, he can’t see and it hurts him, causing his “inner demons” to take over. He then meets himself, where he is stabbed and killed. to the point where he, himself is his biggest enemy, ending his life would make it easier, where he can’t save himself from himself. When he wakes up it shows how he’s recovering from what such a dark spot for him was, a traumatic experience that he once faced that took too deep of a toll on him where he needs his time and space to heal. Such a legendary video, such a legendary song.

Tell me where you're going, tell us where you're headed
I'm on my way to heaven
Mr. Rager, can we tag along? Can we take the journey?
Can we take the journey?
I'm off on the adventure
Hey, Mr. Rager
Hey, Mr. Rager
Hey, Mr. Rager (I'm on my way to heaven)
Hey, Mr. Rager, hey
Listen to this as a 12 year old. Love the song. Thought I was connecting. Lost my father, he loved “The Prayer” by Cudi and it was great knowing he thought of it as it was. He’s now gone.. listening to this after 6 months since, just the meaning, lyrics, everything, what a beautiful time of music. I see a lot of people with relative comments.. I hope you all find your own way through your pain.. we are all on this same video for a reason. I love you all.
guys we made it. we are alive lets make the most of it.
I remember watching this when it first released around 2012!
I was in a dark place! Was on the verge of suicide and 8 years later I'm a certified nurse , uber driver and traveled the world .. anything is possible! I'm currently battling the covid virus but this won't stop me either! I'm determined thanks to music like this! Thank You Kid Cudi
💯❤🙏
That’s so inspirational, you’re strong for holding on.. much love and luck
@@gum2587 thank you! Only the strong survive!

Mr.Rager - the great fighter, Now I understand this. Someone diffrent than others 👍✅️
Kid cudi will always be amazing. He was one of the first rappers to start rapping about mental health and feelings. Back then people really wouldn’t really listen to music wit that stuff in it. It’s inspiring how much music like this has came along. Cudi is the greatest of all time and will continue to be
Never goon, guys. We are strong 💪
what does gooning mean? i have some assumptions but wanna become sure
@@boarmorbiuslyabeast3610 no fap or something
i have been coming back to this song for the past 6 years. i would listen to it when i was little not understanding what the meaning truly was, but a few years passed and this song got me through things i cant express cause of how hard they were to handle. it truly is so comforting to hear these words remembering the good they did for me. i cant explain how important this song is to me. Thank you Scott.
15-09-2024 working for my exam that's 8months from now cudi is my motivation to keep pushing through my lows i am not giving up and i will give my best from this moment on. see u after 8 months
This song has always represented the mental anguish of loneliness and that feeling of boundless rage we end up relying on, and how hard we struggle and struggle without accepting ourselves. The gang members being ones personal demons, the kudi we follow who feels like the heroic and brave one is actually the one unable to accept anything, the one who deals with everything through violence and rage. The final Kudi, the accepting one, he is the one that represents that part of us that understands where our trauma, our source of pain is, that which makes us lash out. And is the only one to ultimately put a stop to the Rage, through acceptance
Nice sinopsis, I like that perspective, different from kudi vs demons or demons vs kudi
This song has a more deeper meaning then i expected, but this song is still amazing
how does this not have 1b views?
Bro I swear this is the only music video that makes me cry every damn time i watch it. I love you kid cudi
''Never goon''
During a period of my life when I didn’t know how to process my trauma, I was full of deep RAGE and this song helped me release it. Thank you for your music Mr. Kid Cudi. Helped my brother too, through his frustrations.
NEVER GOON BROTHERS 🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🥵🥶🥶
Wow it’s crazy how much symbolism is in his videos opening the locks to the building like the locks of his mind, fighting off all those demons inside his mind and the Kanye shot was sick. getting overtaken by them, still fighting to break away only to be killed by himself in the end reborn as one.
This song helped me in my darkest years- especially 2014. Thank you, Cudi.
Kid Cudi you’re an inspiration to so many, man. Legend.

Saw him in concert in 2011 and it was mind changing the performance he put on and energy he put in the show was amazing
Blows me away I was able to witness this 8 years ago..still under a million views...soon the world will see how great Cudi has become...destiny
NEVER GOON

Bro I just woke up from 4 years of addiction to drugs thank you kid cudi
I really understood you man
I got you
Please come to Ethiopia we are poor but sure we will show you great time
This is probably one of the greatest music videos of all time.
cudi marked an era of rap. one of the greatest no doubt. thank you for saving me scott
One of the greatest conceptual music videos ever made. I promise this one only gets better with age.
When I was younger I never understood his messages. Now that I am almost 30……. It hits deep in the soul
I have the same rare black/red coat which I’ll never stop wearing because of this video ❤️🔥🙏🏾🙌🏾
This song will always get me through the darkness. Thank you, Scott.
Song is about internal struggle, fighting yourself. Awesome song and brings attention to mental health. Cudi was deep in depression and I'm glad he seeked help. His music helps people get through and is inspirational.
this song has been with me through the most difficult times in my lfe. somehow, im feel like im slowly slipping again. this song along with do it alone (bigger than you), soundtrack 2 my life, and these worries- theyve all been on repeat in my head for the past few months. all i want to do is cry and just end it all. im trying really hard but waking up in the morning has become such a task. i truly ask myself why im alive and why the fuck im even here. there are times where i appreciate being alive but the majority of the time- i just want to disappear. the tears and immense sorrow just doesnt stop
Keep strong bro !! Hope your doing better now , keep your head high you can do it
i hope you’re still here
I’m having these same thoughts, Cudi has been my only person that I’ve turned to and relied on for advice.
It’s weird how a very good and meaning song is underrated after all this years…
This song induced an OBE for me 8 or 9 years ago. I still remember the sensation.
God damn I used to listen to this every day walking to middle school. All alone. Everyday. 12 years later and I’m still here. All alone.
I've never cried so hard listening to a music video. I don't no why but it felt relatable in a way.
I am a Gen Xer who only recently discovered Cudi this past year. It's been a tough couple of years but we keep on going. I am deeply moved by Cudi's music and it has helped me to even put a name to my internal daemon. Mr Rager and I will always be battling and yet one. Thank you for helping save 40+ businessmen with families.
Beaten by others, blinded by a b*tch then killed by one's self, life
This song literally have saved my life countless of times.
Cudi always connected to a part of me I was to naive to understand as a kid. I knew i was off, and had demons. They dragged me through dope holes, jail cells, had me on the streets. I didn't even know what I was lashing out against. I'm grateful for everything that's made me me, but I'm more glad still I could stick a knife in the heart of the kid fighting myself. His example of dealing with addiction, mental health, and society's expectaion of normal were one of the few things that gave me the dignity to keep trying. I've drank enough I thought I wouldn't wake up, been hanging from a neuce, and had guns to me head not even feeling anything. It's almost a cliche at this point, but this man saves lives.
i love this song so much, i feel so attached to it.
It took me a while to interpret this song and the music video to it’s actual meaning. I define this video as Cudi’s mind. A traumatic experience that he’s been through before. Him breaking into this abandoned building is him first entering the music industry, dealing with the flaws and the corruption and what it’s really like to be in it. Him going up is his level of fame increasing, showing and revealing the dark side even more to him. When he’s on the level with the people he’s seeing it’s the pressure of many things, the drugs, the fame, the pressure. It’s his inner demons that he’s facing trying to fight everyday. The more and more people attacking him resembles the more difficulties he’s facing. When Kanye west shows up and he swings at him but misses this shows how he was blaming others and attacking the people he loved, without seeing the full truth. When the girl shows up he sees promise in love, thinking that it’s maybe his way out, that love can really help. When she puts the salt in his eyes, in blinds him, he can’t see and it hurts him, causing his “inner demons” to take over. He then meets himself, where he is stabbed and killed. to the point where he, himself is his biggest enemy, ending his life would make it easier, where he can’t save himself from himself. When he wakes up it shows how he’s recovering from what such a dark spot for him was, a traumatic experience that he once faced that took too deep of a toll on him where he needs his time and space to heal. Such a legendary video, such a legendary song.
The girl threw dirt from the railing into his eyes.
I heard this song when my dog, who was my best friend ever since i was a child was passing away
This songs got a special place in my heart and so does that dog
