If you were wondering if the masked Dream has talents outside of Minecraft, or even if you were wondering what the mask itself was all about, you should now have some answers. The man behind the Dream Minecraft SMP server has released an introspective, catchy pop song called \u201cMask\u201d and fans are delighted. The single, which couples alt-rock 2000s energy with radio-ready pop music, has already made waves. Within less than a day since its release, \u201cMask\u201d has already surged into the top 10 of iTunes\u2019 US chart and well past two million views on its YouTube lyrics video. And those lyrics are exactly why fans are so impressed with the track. For a YouTuber known best for creating roleplay content while wearing a mask, \u201cMask\u201d is a stark contrast \u2014 as the tune\u2019s lyrics explore struggles with mental health and the multi-layered meaning of a mask with a permanent smile. Referencing a perennially positive mask, Dream continues on to explain what purpose that covering serves: \u201cBut the fact is, I can never get off my mattress. And all that they can ask is, \u2018why are you so sad, kid? Why are you so sad, kid?\u2019 That\u2019s what the mask is, that\u2019s what the point of the mask is.\u201d Without diving too deeply into what each of the lyrics means, it\u2019s obvious that this is a track in which Dream reflects upon the contrast between his public-facing persona and his own mental state. And that\u2019s precisely why fans have become so enchanted by the single.
