Really like this. Not a fan of dnf, but this song does have some really good looks into Dreams mind. Especially the part about points of view. Dream has always been defined by his image and reputation. When he had George, Sapnap, Callahan, the whole server respecting him, then he was respectable. When his half of the server saw him as a hero and leader during the war for Lbergs independence, then he was a hero leading his forces against a criminal insurrection. When Wilburs propaganda convinced all of the new members that Dream was a tyrant, he was a tyrant. When Tommy told the rest of the server that Dream was an evil villain, then he was the bad guy of the server. Even though through all of that time he has never changed goals, he is the only person on the server to never waiver in the cause he fought for. Methods, boundaries, Dreams own idea of what he is, have changed with his image even as the goal stayed the same.

all of this is very true

[@user-cx9un9fs7q]

I’ve always been on Dreams characters side. Anyone who bothered to think about Dreams point of view would know my reasoning. Because when you look at Dreams view, he’s tried so hard to help make the server better, but Tommy and others kept his goal of peace and unity on the server away from him. That’s why I support Dream, he’s a good person, turned into a monster because of himself. He went to the lengths of pushing everything and everyone away from him so he could make peace on the server. And his thanks for turning himself into a sociopath. (someone who almost completely lacks empathy for anything) Not accomplishing peace on the server, not making everyone think of each other as friends, and being thrown in prison. So I understand why he probably doesn’t care about those goals anymore, and if it’s true he doesn’t care, I’ll still support him because after everything he did to try and help the server, only to be rejected by everyone, I honestly support him if all he wants to do know is torture and kill everyone on the server. :) Enjoy your day

"so I don't face the disappointment of waking up alone" Is that reference to gnf's "so wake me up when I'm not waking up alone" I will cry fr I can't take this c!dnf will break me. amazing song as always frankie (also the little mushrooms in the corner :((( )

[@ally269]

dream being unable to sleep because of his pain and George being unable to be awake because of his pain oh my god

[@ally269]

also the replace line :(((((((

[@ally269]

I want to yell at him cause it's just not true, as much as dreamxd would want him to, George can't love him he wants him to be dream but he isn't and now Dream thinking he's easily replaced when he's actually impossible to replace, I will cry

[@codythebabyarticfox2169]

Good point.

[@aliased_aryl]

Oh god, frankie, my heart is in shambles ;-; The “they overvalue my attachment… to anything but you” 😭😭😭 they had us in the first half not gonna lie …but that would also mean sapnap was at least partially right in saying dream “only ever cared when I was proving my worth,” and if that isn’t the saddest realization :((( And dream thinking George has replaced him with xd… noooo my heart :( From hypersomnia and waltz of a god we know George doesn’t really love xd, as much as xd desperately wants him to. We also see from hypersomnia that George is so caught up in his longing for dream that he doesn’t recognize xd’s friendship as sincere. What’s more, xd recognizes that George is still pining after dream to the point that George can’t get rid of his fantasies of having dream back The amount of pain and misconceptions from this series of songs that could’ve been avoided with some communication… the misunderstandings really are rampant aren’t they lol. These four just need to sit down and have a nice long conversation to untangle this mess Plus the callbacks to hypersomnia about waking up alone! Ah yes, it’s all coming together. And dream saying he’s defined by other people’s points of view… is that a reference to cc!dream’s lack of a perspective on the smp??? The fact that it ties so well into c!dream’s mentality that he was cast as the villain is just perfect, and you’ve conveyed it so brilliantly Oh man, the simplicity of this one really makes it feel like it’s just a guy singing alone in a cell. The atmosphere you’ve created is so on point! And again, the narrative you’ve built is simply incredible, at this point it’s a whole frankie cinematic universe of angst. Four songs with a combined runtime of less than 20 minutes, and you’ve managed to convey such complexity of these characters. Each song builds off the others, and it’s simply phenomenal to watch the pieces fall into place. Once again, I am left in awe, and I’m hyped to see where you go next!

[@frankiebxby]

your analysis of my songs is legitimately the highlight of my comment section. you pick up on literally every single detail it’s insane. i come back to read your comments multiple times because i’m like ‘omg they GET IT’. i appreciate your support and lovely words so much :] thank you!!

[@buglikejay]

I love how it relates to Hypersomni through the lyrics and Best of Three with the music! Beautiful

[@pikloo4631]

I find it very interesting that Dream and George's have very similar names... I'm super excited for this! Can't wait!

[@Amaryllis-was-here]

Bro the fact that the “you” is highlighted is so perfect ‘cause it clearly relates to George

[@reine_dragon]

AHHH MY HEART 💔💔💔💔 all the little call backs were so good

[@fizzgiggio5521]

I’m seriously so proud of you, Frankie!!! Such a good song as always

[@mushroom1008]

NO ONE TOLD ME THIS PREMIERED TODAY ANYWAYS IT WAS SO FRICKING GOOD AAHDFGJH

[@aliciaventresca6420]

the guitar with the lyrics, its just incredible

[@epiphanierosenstern5635]

THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THIS ONE IS CALLED INSOMNIA AND THE ONE OF GEORGE IS HYPERSOMNIA IS AMAZING BUT PLUS YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING I LOVE HOW YOUR WROTE

[@frankiebxby]

i’m glad you liked it!! i wanted to play off the themes in hypersomnia seeing as this is a kind of response song to it!! as i was writing the chorus and contrasting the whole ‘wake me up’ thing with ‘i’ll stay awake’ i was like oooh that’s a perfect title

[@epiphanierosenstern5635]

@@frankiebxby It's perfect, I love parallels and it's working very well, even with the art Plus the fact that you have choose for the Sapnap song, an art were he is at center, while his two friends are both on a side "answering" to each other make stronger the face that he was kinda always the third choice No really everything is great about your song I love them--

[@motivate-success777]

Holy shittttttt this is everything!!!! A lyrical masterpiece I’m in love (and also crying)

[@Rad_user_Finnie]

AAAA IM SO EXCITED, FRANKIE THIS WILL BE SO GOOD

[@keirarj2567]

OooOOh i hope this is gonna be on Spotify this is gonna be AWESOME

[@panbeing]

Oh my god ok. I have Things To Say. Nothing significant, just blabber. First of all, holy shit you are so talented. You have an incredible voice, you can write lyrics so well that it tells a story while also rhyming, and the tunes you make up with the guitar is my favourite part of all 4 dream team songs i've heard from you. The melody of this alone gave me some tears, even without the lyrics, i dont even know why. Also i love the references to the past songs, they always feel so connected and it's like a special little treat for the people who listened to them. I just don't know how to describe how much i enjoyed listening to this. And to think that you are so good at only 18 years, i can't wait to see what you'll come up with next. Also big props to the artist of the video, i love how they made the patterns for the obsidian and crying obsidian bits, along with the rest of the color choices. Anyway end of blabber, good fucking job. Cant wait to memorize the lyrics so i can sing along. 11/10.

[@cocobeebunnied7371]

I’m so sad I missed this and I think the way the title and in some way the sound contrast and play into hypersomnia

[@frankiebxby]

in my mind this is a direct reply to hypersomnia and the riff for the guitar part actually came from a modified version of the hypersomnia riff in a minor key!! i wanted them to sound similar but while hypersomnia is more whistful and melancholic i wanted insomnia to come across more bitter and almost manipulative at points. there is real sadness underlaying the tone but it’s masked by an attempt at being the uncaring villain everyone decided him to be at the beginning of all the wars

[@aaIiyha]

YES i've been waiting for dis one
