"but everything I try just takes you further from me." Kanye's verse is the in-between state, dealing with the consequences of his depressed and manic states "sometimes I talk like I drank all the wine." If you break down the lyrics and the instruments used in this track at each point in its progression, you'll probably also come to realize that this is no lower than top 5 in Ye's catalogue.

Cudi's verse is all about the blanket of anxiety depression wraps you in. the guitars and lasers in the background have way more energy than the downtempo Cudi verse. you make reckless decisions and feel somewhat impervious to the consequences. That's why 070 Shake says "I put my hand on a stove to see if I still bleed, and nothing hurts anymore". Cudi's verse represents the low of bipolar depression (depression), and 070 Shake's verse represents the highs of bipolar depression (mania). You could legit make the argument that this is Kanye's most brilliant song ever.
