The tone of this Cudi song varies, at some points the tone is lively mainly in the chorus you can hear cudi singing about happy things. also at this time the video shows celebrations and parties matching hte tone. other times the tone is very monotone and the video plays in slow motion to emphasize the dullness of Cudi's feelings. as the song ends the video is very eye-opening and depressing, the lyrics at this time are also very sad. the video and lyrics match very well to express the tone of this song

Kid Cudi is the artist behind the song "pursuit of happiness". in this  song he says "I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that's shine ain't always gonna be gold but ill be fine once i get it".
in this he is saying that some things are temporary and you shouldn't hold onto things for too long or they will fade and leave you feeling empty as Cudi has many times before
"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"
cudi says this to lift spirits, he does so by explaining that you should live life in the moment and you will be the happiest you can be. the meaning of him saying that hes missed some bullets is that he has made it through tough times/hardships in his life such as drug overdose and suicide. Cudi tries to extend his feelings to the listeners by creating a vague situation that allows more people to connect to.
"Tell me what you know about the night terrors every night
5 A-M cold sweats, waking up to the sky"
this is a reference to Cudi's childhood, his father passed away in his sleep while Cudi was young, in result of this Cudi was afraid to sleep because he thought when you slept you died. He explains that he has night terrors every night and wakes up sweating while looking at the sky, he says this because he wakes up terrified thinking he has died due to drugs or emotional stress.

in the first couple of lines  of the song Cudi uses the line
"getting out dreams"
this has been a slogan for him since the start of his career he shares the slogan with Kanye west and MGM records. MGM records is a large record company that supports many aspiring young black artists. Kanye and Cudi have worked together since they both started making music, this adds to ethos by giving the song and lyrics more credibility due to the large figures behind the meaning of the slogan
"Oh, room is spinning, room is spinning
Pat, Zule, where, oh fuck
Oh my God
Why did I drink so much and smoke so much oh"
Pat was Cudi's first ever music producer, his partner is Zule. they are both best known for representing Kid Cudi in his early days of music making
