Famous Last Words
"When IAN decided to embark on this journey, it's kind of like if you decided to commit yourself to go to Mount Everest. He's finally ready to embark, knowing that he will go insane. He understands the limitations of it, but once he fully commits, we get the first song, "Famous Last Words," which is when he starts writing a letter to his future self. He already knows he's gonna go insane, but he still chooses to go down that path."
Dpr Ian in Grammy.com
With past experiences in the brief times he appeared there, he always brought something back or discovered about doors. Every time he opens a door (it's a new level deeper into The Other Side) it gives him a memory he may have forgotten. It could be good or traumatic. Knowing fully of the consequences he still decides to embark on the journey.
(I AM STILL PUZZLED ABOUT SERAPH, Christian stated it was Mito's past but Mr Insanity was there (The god of the Other Side) but at the same moment. Ian is becoming Mr Insanity so it's like some bizarre paradox thing where Future Ian is the ruler of the Other Side and Ian is slowly becoming a Future Ian but Future Ian can see and Intercept?)
What he doesnt know is that he will unleash a savage ancient curse, known as the Hybrid whihc will curse him and drive him deeper and deeper into Insanity. The Hybrid lives with the repressed memories. Opening doors has awoken it, Every time Ian opens a door he encounters the Hybrid. Which slowly drains his sanity the deeper he goes heheh
Waking Up
The sleeping pills take effect and he wakes up, his eyes flashing green,(The Green is related to The Other Side, whenever green is present it means The Other Side. Both Mito and Insanity share this color.)
Of course, he's confused. he woke up from a Tomb covered in dirt (Reborn??)Immediately, The Pink Villagers are wary of him. He isn't supposed to be here. Finding a way to drive him out of here and sending him to the real world, they attack him.
(Although the Hybrid Album hasn't come out, I believe LIMBO comes before Dont Go Insane. The Hybrid comes before this! You can tell cause they pull the Ian in Limbo into the DGI mv by the green....But at the moment I will stick to Hard Canon and Theories will be addressed later)
Meeting The Green
After being captured and being crucified. (to be driven out, killed, Symbolism that he will become a god in the future so they crucify him to kill him and drive him out of The Other Side?)
But the Pink Villagers fail as Ian gets rescued by The Green.
They run away from the Pink Villagers together. Into a train where they jump out into a desert to look for the next door to go deeper into his subconsciousness.
There was another encounter with a disheveled clown figure, It is not the Hybrid but it also influenced him... We will never know.
It's Locked?
The door is locked. But with the aid of some suspicious pink villagers, they find out they need to go to Emerald City to retrieve the key.
"They told us, to disguise ourselves... For he was expecting us."
MITO knew this, He waited for them to try to retrieve the key so he could catch Ian and stop him from going into the doors.
The Pink villagers tossed a blonde wig with a red and blue streak, The duo snuck through them and stole their truck to go to Emerald City to retrieve the key.
IAN is dangerous, Aside from being an intruder. Ian is also a danger to himself. He was willing to lose his humanity to find out everything about himself. That would be dangerous for The Other Side. MITO also has to protect Ian. As much as he was a guardian for The Other Side... He was also Ian's protector.
Rob The Key
After arriving to Emerald City they spent a couple days planning on how to access the key, It would require robbing a museum! They planned out their Heist. You can see their disguises on.
The lyrics give a more carefree vibe than the last song. Emphasizing his recklessness (A common trait that will increase the more he loses his sanity) and throwing us back to the car they stole from the Pink Villagers.
"I left all the water running at home (oh, shit) Then drove around with a car that we stole"
(Also Butterflies! The small butterflies are only visible to Ian, a Hallucination that will increase as he loses his sanity further. So the more butterflies = more insane.)
After 3 days of planning, they break into the museum and steal the box that holds the key. To their surprise, an Alarm goes off and notifies the person they have been trying to avoid. MITO! Who walks in Cowboy style and tries to stop them.
Ian overwhelmed runs away to the stolen car alongside the Green after finally coming face to face with MITO. They run away as fast as they can with MITO trailing not far behind them.
SO THAT'S MITO???"
After 3 days of planning, they break into the museum and steal the box that holds the key. To their surprise, an Alarm goes off and notifies the person they have been trying to avoid. MITO! Who walks in Cowboy style and tries to stop them.
Ian overwhelmed runs away to the stolen car alongside the Green after finally coming face to face with MITO. They run away as fast as they can with MITO trailing not far behind them.
Soon enough, MITO catches up to them, hoping to stop them from using the key they acquired. He chases them through the open area.
They were slightly faster than him. MITO isn't trying to kill Ian, just stop him. His story can't end so soon. He can be saved before he goes deeper., yet it's too late.
The Green and Ian/Becoming Mr Insanity reach the door and enter just before Mito can catch them. They enter their first door.
"What, you like them struggles? (Huh) It's not your end of the story God, this shit sucks"
Memories of Youth
He went back to his childhood, He relives the memories he used to have in his childhood. Realizing that now he was nothing like his childhood. Aside from this, You can see him finally start dipping. Throughout the video you see shots of him causing chaos.
"I left home so long ago That my tooth's been wigglin' for years, ooh My peanut butter and your tears Oh, why the sad face, dear? I can't control all of my fears"
The amount of Butterflies increases exponentially and the video is over-saturated, colorful overwhelming and the song itself is very euphoric.
Each door relives a suppressed memory and in exchange, it takes your sanity.
The Hybrid who resides in those memories leads Ian further in the path of Insanity and Self Destruction. The Green who enables him to keep going plays a role as well.
"I get so friendly with strangers (ooh, yeah)"
"Somewhere down the conscious mind. Ian/ Mr Insanity comes across his youth or memories unlocking his youth.
One of them being Peanut Butter and Jelly. However, when he comes across it this time it's Peanut Butter & Tears. It's pretty much a sad freakshow"
If The Green truly is a bad person/ enabler in this scenario, Ian befriending and Trusting The Green (for saving his life) would be detrimental. Although Ian was already set on exploring The Other Side and facing the consequences, Factors in our environment can worsen the effects of said consequences.

Seraph showcases MITO's past, From being a heavenly being that resided in the heaven's of The Other Side to being exiled by The God of The Other Side (MR INSANITY???) Now he remains a lonely guardian, who protects the residents of The Other Side from danger.
"MITO used to be a Seraph, for people that don't know what a Seraph is. It's the highest order of an angel, and they're said to have, I think..six wings... I believe and covered in eyes so it says, but it's the highest order of the angels correct me "
" In the video, you see him just in the red alone by himself and he's alone. You see a moment where he finally decides to accept his fate and his love turns into fury..."
The video showcases multiple shots. Fallen Angel Mito, Insanity's true form (soaked in glitter, blind in both eyes) MITO in the red and then him reaching as he descends his red demon king form and then black. Then a shot to IAN with the words INSANE fading to IAN. Foreshadowing his future.... hahhabkhsbadkhasb
Also cool thing, Just noticed they made MITO look at a Solar Eclipse without Protection. That could be the cause of his Blind Eye.
One Shot
I know this song is MITO after he got kicked out, He's saying stuff like
"Have I lost my sense of bliss?"
"One more shot and I'm meant to be"
"Mood Swings in This Order comes to life"
Though, this is before Mood. Yea, Anyways. More post-Seraph Mito lets go (i am so sorry yall I suck at this, go ask a cool experienced lore dreamer)
MOOD and Ribbons
Ian takes his meds, he is in the middle of a manic episode.
(Christian said he hears whistling in his ears when he is having a manic episode)
Not wanting to anywhere near Mito, he downs a bunch of pills. Feeling Euphoric but being hurt by God Insanity (symbol of self-destructiveness?). Yet MITO comes back to haunt him near the end when MITO still takes over in Ribbon. Showing how you can never get rid of him, Starting with the lyrics. like
"I am tied to your throne."
The end of this is an Insanity cameo. Where he is opening the "pandora Box" of Memories that were supposed to be repressed. Kick-starting the whole journey and descent into Insanity of the current IAN. Miss Understood being mentioned. ??
In Dear Insanity, he embarks on a journey and uses a loophole (downing sleeping pills) so he could finally fully journey through The Other Side without waking up, and unlocking all the memories hidden from him.
