DPRIAN_Notes

These lyrics are based on what I could hear and the captions on LIMBO's music video.

Don’t waste your tears

On somebody you can’t even save

Throw me down to the wolves

Its where I belong

See you on the Other Side

Where our worlds will collide

Take what’s yours

Just leave me in two pieces

I left my heart down in the basement

Where all the ravens take their turns

Picking at what’s left of me

I took you out of my existence 

Only to crawl back into your arms

Knowing how much it would take away

Do you think we are really dreaming

Can someone tell me where I am

Im running out of sand

I took you out of my existence 

Only to crawl back into your arms

Knowing it will make me go insane

Go

I left my heart down in the basement

Where all the ravens take there turns

Picking at what’s left of me

I took you out of my existence

Only to crawl back into your arms

Christian gave some interesting information regarding the characters and their songs/symbolisms.

For Mito, his song his "So Beautiful", said to have portrayed him in his darkest form. Strings are a major symbol for him.

For Insanity, "Violet Crazy" is his song, and wolves are a symbol for him. Christian also said that Insanity is the Clown god, which he said relates to his old group: C-Clown. (btw their songs are really good I recommend you checking them out if you haven't).

DISCLAIMER again! These are just my thoughts and theories, please do comment with your own ideas, it would be so helpful in figuring out the story Christian is telling.

From what I saw on Christian's Insta live and the music video for LIMBO, it looks like Hybrid is most likely the in-between of Mito and Insanity. The transition from one character to the next. Christian did outright say this in his live, but it is interesting the way he depicts the change in LIMBO's music video.

In the first scene of the mv we see a shirtless character, and from what I know and in my opinion I believe this is Hybrid. It switches scenes rapidly but in them I believe we see a shot of Mito as well. The character that seems to be Hybrid wears a striped suit with a red or purple tie, which I think would tie Mito and Insanity together. You can also see faint makeup that resembles Insanity's. The scenes constantly switch between color and monotone, which would also resemble both characters. I haven't yet noticed Mito's signature grey eye, but there is a scene in which we see the character's eyes change between orange and blue. I'm still pondering over what that could mean, but right now it also seems to tie into the transition between the characters.

I also found it interesting when the outfit slowly switches from plain black, to a black suit with purple or red. We know that Mito is mostly dark colors and Insanity is the complete opposite of that - him having many bright colors to his outfit and makeup, but the most noticeable color is the purple suit.

Christian made an important point in one of his lives, saying that the wolf is very symbolic to Insanity. I found it interesting that a verse of the lyrics is "throw me to the wolves, it's where I belong". Also, at 2:03 in the music video we can hear a wolf's howl. This sets off a scene of chaos in the room, papers are thrown and the character seems to be struggling or fighting something. I think that this point is the beginning of the transition to Insanity. It would make sense for it to look painful and for Mito/Hybrid to put up a fight as they go more insane.

The end of the music video is what caught my eye the most. There is a change from Hybrid to Insanity, as he sits on the bed looking at his hands. This is the exact scene from the Don't Go Insane music video, which leads me to believe that this song/album (since we don't know how many songs will be released or how many of them will pertain to Hybrid) is a prequel to Dear Insanity.

The end scene for LIMBO is the beginning (after the initial credits) of Don't Go Insane. The music video for Don't Go Insane even shows a character to the likes of Hybrid in the same position on the bed at the end of LIMBO! One of the beginning verses in Don't Go Insane mentions wolves as well: "Oh bless my heart, when the wolves take me away".

This seems to make it more likely what I said before, that LIMBO is the prequel to Dear Insanity, but like I've said, these are just my theories.

Below is a screenshot from the end of LIMBO:

And then here is two shots from the beginning of Don't Go Insane:

Here we can see what looks to be Hybrid, as he has the same outfit as in LIMBO and is in the same struggle. The second picture is the very next scene in Don't Go Insane. He is in the exact same position that LIMBO ended in.

DISCLAIMER: These notes were taken directly from the video Christian posted when the album came out. I do put some of my own thoughts and theories in here though, and I welcome all of your thoughts!

- Mito’s introduction was “So Beautiful”

- Depicted him in his darkest form

- DPR Ian constantly battled with what felt like a second individual inside of him, named him Mito

- “Dope Lovers” depicts his struggles with heartbreak, when he was at his lowest he tended to push people that loved him away

- “Dope is also associated with a drug. So in a way, it’s such an addicting love that you can’t stray away from it and at the end of the day you just keep coming back for more” - DPR Ian

- “No Blueberries” was made when he was in a time of great anger

- Made about people you don’t associate yourself with, you’re not familiar with them, and no matter what you do you can’t connect with them

- He associated that feeling with blueberries

- “Running away from the Blueberry monster”

- “Nerves”, he did a lot of bad things in life, he regrets a lot of his decisions and this song expresses that.

- “Scaredy Cat” is a song inspired by his fear of “everything, almost”.

- There is another character living INSIDE of Mito, a character that is always scared, yet curious

- Curiosity killed the cat

- “Welcome to the Show”, Ian welcomes us to his show, yet there will be a lot of anxiety, doubt, and fear in it. But it is him, it is who he is.

- The entrance for the acceptance of who Mito is

- In my opinion, this song hits the hardest because Mito is asking us to stay for the show, even though there are so many ugly parts of him, so many negative emotions, and then proceeds to welcome us. It is such a sad song - “I want you to close all the doors, just leave me alone. I tried to hide it, I’m scared of what’s next, I still don’t know where to go.” But then he tells us “You’re welcome to the show”.

- “No Silhouette” imagines Mito ragged after being through his entire journey

- “He’s like a superhero, but with every up, comes a down”
