“Releaser” is an eerie, spacey track about Cudi’s relationship with drugs and depression. Cudi personifies and speaks to his drugged and depressed mental state. He has a love-hate relationship with his habits, enjoying the highs of the drugs, but suffering from the lows of his mental issues.

In the end, drugs serve as the “releaser” from his stress and depression. However, his demons always seem to “find [him].”

The song is primarily told from the perspective of his addiction, similar to “The Nothing” on Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven.
