Ian explaining why the new album had to be reinvented:
I felt like the direction that the album was going in was a painful one [...] I don't want to do that, I DON'T want to make pain. It COMES FROM pain, but you shouldn't feel it and be disturbed [...]
And it's not a story that I think I should start on, because if I am somebody that you believe in, and if I'm somebody that I should believe in [...] shouldn't there be a more hopeful conclusion to this? Sure, you have disorders. Sure, you have so much going for you. Sure, everyone struggles. The world is in sh*ts.
But in all of that darkness, what do you want to stand for? What do you want to be?
I want to be hope. I do. And, you know, I vowed to create a world where people can hope. And I think it was just time for me to upgrade
“But I’ve learnt it’s what you make of it and come of it […] you are growing for the good regardless of the mistakes you once made. The power is in now, not before or later” my therapist is in the house! 🎯

“hi. hello,today felt kind of long…it’s not over yet though. i’m tired lately… really exhausted and i keep having all sorts of thoughts. i know i shouldn’t keep thinking negatively…i should be okay…but it’s getting harder and harder.
in my head,there’s a war happening every day! closing my eyes feels scary and opening them feels even more frightening now. the dark ups and downs are kind of familiar already,i just end up ignoring them because im so tired,why does it keep hurting like this every time…
still,i’m okay! i’ll just take a 5 minute break and go back! i’m someone who’s almost died and come back to life every time! i can just get up and do it again…if i want it, there’s always a way to find it! there’s still a lot i need to do! i need to gather my strength again, everyone is waiting”
take care ian,and take all the time you need,we’re here for you❤️🩹@DPRIAN_
Every single time we watch "The Show" MV and we reach this scene, I tell E🎀 why just why all the doors are open except for that one on the left? 😭 And it's not completely shut. I thought maybe I'm just overthinking it, and it doesn’t mean anything.
But then "Drift" MV came up, and I was like WAIT!! It’s almost the exact same scene, but completely the opposite. All the doors are closed except for the 2nd one on the left.
Then again he said it himself "everything is intentional" and then I started to think, what the general meaning could be and what those 2 scenes mean exactly and what could they have in common.
By now we know the doors in the lore in general, represents either portals or hidden memories, emotions and secrets.
In a previous post about the Drift mv that Ian also liked. I explained that scene (bottom pic) that since the scene is black&white so the one leaning on the wall is actually Mito, since he's the protector and the gatekeeper of those doors he's also restricting Artic from moving further, and even though Cream is peaking through that open door, yet he's unable to enter, like this whole scene was frozen in time.
My take here is. In Drift and other MVs the doors are all closed and just one or two would open, depending on what the gatekeeper is allowing us or the other characters to see.
While in The Show mv since now the show had actually began. So all the doors are open on display/show as if there's nothing left to hide at this point. Except for that same door that was open in Drift is now Closed. For me this signifies that somethings are still better kept behind closed doors and that not all of it is on display. Maybe whatever is lying behind that door doesn't belong to The Show.
It could be just me but that door is also slightly ajared, and could also be in purpose. Because in that scene we also see Ian snooping around and watching out for something or someone. So maybe he's trying to bring out what lies behind that door into the Show's spotlight as well. But who knows 🤷🏻♀️
