After talking with a few people about this, I've come to a conclusion on what it's about. The title is short for "Dronification" and in turn, the video is the prosess of this. The main themes of Being a drone in Hypnosis circles is removed agency and individuality. You remove yourself from your body, and become part of a Hive mind. In short, You Dont Need You. The other large signifier of the themes is the toki pona. a philisophical language. There are three phrases: ijo pi toki ala soweli pi toki ala ilo pi pakala taso The first two roughly translate to "Thing that dosent talk/Thing that is silent" and the other is "Mammal/Animal that dosent talk/that is silent." The third rought translates to "Tool of only destruction" (HUGE thank you to the toki pona discord, everyone in there helped immensely and I could not have translated this on my own) The first two are instructions: "No speaking, Stay silent" The last is more suggestion, like "you dont need you", this is convincing the drone that them being a person/being only brings mistakes, is imperfect. The end of the song gets more intence, and affirms what has come before. "hammering in" what has been done, in hypnosis, this is refered to as enforcing suggestions. It ends with a matrix shrinking, then disappearing with a pop. Completing the dronification.
@@TommyTheCat_05 it feels undeniably intentional. it doesnt sound like its trying to be "mysteriously vague" either. quite literally everything you said sounds correct
I've ignored this video for 4 times now because I thought this video was one of those typical args made by kids. I saw this the fifth time and clicked the video, "holy shit frums??? WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE WHY DID I IGNORE THIS"
probably relevant but frums uses the headnoun "ilo" in toki pona (its kinda like preferred pronouns but instead preferred content word lol) anyway frums *could* be referring to itself with the word "ilo" here

I was literally listening to a bunch of frums songs because I had forgotten just how good they sounded and the next day this drops. Very convenient timing. Also another good song :)
you don't need you is such a striking phrase. the song is great, the visuals elevate it to something truly provocative, in a good way! keep making peak for as long as youre able, frums, i genuinely appreciate all of your work
at 1:00 you can see sitelen pona symbols (sitelen pona is a logographic writing system of toki pona) the first one (yellow) reads "ijo pi toki(?) ala", which can be translated to "silent thing", literally "thing that doesn't speak" the second one seems to be the same as the first one, with the first word replaced with something else, I can't seem to figure out what it is, but to me, it looks like "waso" the last one (red) reads "ilo pi (???) taso", which translates to "tool of only (???)" or "tool that only does (???)"
@@Nullucid i love it when The Knowledge is so obscure that it's seen as completely normal to anyone else. they don't know. they just think it's an aesthetic thing. i'm not telling them
i guarantee its not that funny to withold basic info (that could be pivotal to understanding the song better) and i guarantee its not worth witholding it to begin with (for the same reason) just say it lmao

Frums speaking Toki Pona now? Alice Schach and her Magic Orchestra better watch out, there's new constructed language royalty in the game.
they already made a song in toki pona, it's not anything new. look up "olin en pakala" for more info
funny creature
1:03 says "ilo pi pakala taso" in toki pona (pakala here is stylised to not have a border) this means "a tool of only mistakes/destruction"
What language is that? "Toki Pona"? ...Well today I learned about a brand new constructed language.
is it just me or is "taso" backwards?
also there are two other messages before it, "ijo pi toki ala" and "??? pi lipu ala" i believe?
probably relevant but frums uses the headnoun "ilo" in toki pona (its kinda like preferred pronouns but instead preferred content word lol) anyway frums *could* be referring to itself with the word "ilo" here

レーザー音が暴れてやがる！！
at 1:00 you can see sitelen pona symbols (sitelen pona is a logographic writing system of toki pona)
the first one (yellow) reads "ijo pi toki(?) ala", which can be translated to "silent thing", literally "thing that doesn't speak"
the second one seems to be the same as the first one, with the first word replaced with something else, I can't seem to figure out what it is, but to me, it looks like "waso"
the last one (red) reads "ilo pi (???) taso", which translates to "tool of only (???)" or "tool that only does (???)"
i believe the (???) in the last one is a stylized version of "pakala" but i could be wrong
any chance the second one is "soweli"?
リズムも音も心地よい
Frums istg you never fail to force your music deep inside of our ears
i'd kill for a EX version, specially of that last part, sick.
