Y'all is anyone here on the Lore discord server and knows the owner's discord? I got banned for bullshit reasons (basically absently mentioning something and one of the admins banned me even though in the past when I'd talked more in depth about it the only thing I got was a warning, I wasn't even going to talk about it except that admin kept pestering me about it) and the owner is on vacation so I wanna get in contact with him if I can to clear things up.
"The Other Side is essentially a universe that exists only in the consciousness of someone dreaming, and it is also a play on our DPR name, Dream Perfect Regime. We call our fandom Dreamers, so it only made so much sense that this universe exists in dreams."

"The Other Side is essentially a universe that exists only in the consciousness of someone dreaming, and it is also a play on our DPR name, Dream Perfect Regime. We call our fandom Dreamers, so it only made so much sense that this universe exists in dreams.
If you have seen Ant-Man, he goes down to the Quantum Realm, and there's a whole universe that exists right beneath us. [The Other Side] is kind of like that, but it's not just a dream. IAN comes back with souvenirs and certain things, and he finds a loophole. Once he discovers that, he starts embarking on these journeys, longer and longer. But the problem is, the longer you stay there, the more you go insane, and that is the whole idea of this EP.

DPR IAN’s second EP, 'Dear Insanity…,' sees the Australian singer venturing into a heady, video game-esque side quest. An expansion of his c

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.
