Music description: 
Drugs
Depression
Night / darkness
Journey / Adventure
Music escapes from reality from earth
Chasing peace
Running away from his demons but seems like his only friend
Confused if drugs are his friend or demons
Lyrics are dark but sounds uplifting
Alone

Design A:

Some of kid cudi's music is very cinematic. 
References toward space and the moon are apart of his music.

To create an abstract and cinematic powerful feel of take off.
