Hey, I'm the one who writes the long essays about him. I don't know what I already explained to you before since KZbin deleted my account and with that all of my previous comments. Even if this comment gets posted and you reply to me, I probably won't be able to reply back but I'll see everything. I'll explain the meaning of this video: Ian calls 'The Other Side' the place where the story unfolds, which is actually his consciousness. As you guys know the protagonist of this album is Mr Insanity, the manic highs. About the butterflies, Ian said that they are the symbol of Mr Insanity. He's the only one that can see them. He said this is inspired by a mental health assessment test that shows "butterflies" to the patients. He was probably talking about the Rorschach test which consists of showing 10 inkblots and then the person needs to associate each card with something. Some of them look like butterflies. Ian then associated butterflies with sanity. The more butterflies you see (like Mr Insanity) the more clinically insane you are. Growing up Ian thought that everyone remembers all of their dreams until he started asking. Lucid dreaming has always been a part of it. It is the same with sleep paralysis which he has almost 6-7 days out a week. During sleep paralysis he hears things, although doesn't see them. However this is not scary for him. It's just something he grew up with. In those lucid dreams there are a lot of doors. Going through the wrong door would turn the dream into a nightmare. The only way to get to “The Other Side" is through lucid dreaming. "Peanut Butter & Tears" is the very early stages of Mr Insanity. Child Ian starts lucid dreaming and wandering through these 'doors'. The first door that he enters he is met by a whole new world he never knew that existed: “The Other Side”. He tries to understand where he's at until he realizes he can't leave or he doesn't know how to get back. Essentially the longer he stays lucid dreaming, the longer he ventures into “The Other Side”, he starts to lose the grip of reality and beomes insane. Hence why it's the birth of Mr Insanity, his manic episodes. 'The green asteroid seen on the beginning of the video was a huge part of his dreams when he was a child. Somewhere down the mind, venturing into these doors, Ian/Mr Insanity comes across his youth or memories unlocking his youth, one of them being "Peanut Butter & Jelly". However when he comes across it this time it’s "Peanut Butter & Tears". As he said It’s a ‘sad freak show’. This song is about childhood trauma (represented here by a visit to the dentist), how it shapes you and losing the joy in life as the years go by. As he wakes up from the dental procedure there’s glitter tears on his face, the aftermath of the trauma. Remember DID happens because of severe and/or repeated childhood trauma especially before 5 years old. The trauma stops the mind of the child from fully integrating so the mind becomes multiple identities, "multiple people in one body". Imagine the mind is a mirror, then this mirror is struck by trauma and becomes shattered pieces. Each piece functions as another mirror (another person), but they were still once part of the same mirror so they are still connected. The cover for his first EP is his picture behind a shattered glass and inside the case there was a broken mirror. But he also said that there's still joy in life even after you’ve grown up. You just need to know where to look for it. The videos in order of release is this one: 1) So Beautiful 2) No Blueberries 3) Welcome To The Show (Official Mito Premiere) 4) Nerves 5) Scaredy Cat 6) Ballroom Extravaganza (Mito Movie Teaser) 7) Miito Movie (Seraph+1Shot+Mood+Ribbon) ------------ The following is in the order of the story (in reverse), not in order of the release -------------------------- 8) Peanut Butter & Tears 9) Don't Go Insane 10) Don"t Go Insane Teaser 11) So I Danced -------------------------------------------------------------- 12) Skins 13) Limbo Each song of the Dear Insanity album also has a Visualizer and there's the Don't Go Insane MITO version Visualizer. Also you're right about the colors! Each character/alter has its official colors: Mito - white, red, black Mr Insanity - violet, green, gold (hence why green and violet/purple are so prominent here since Mr Insanity is the protagonist of the vídeos you've seen) The Hybrid - blue with a hint of gold I recommend for you to watch the Miito Movie next! Thanks you for the reaction guys!
