WTF [NU Metal / Metalcore]

🎸 Exploring Nu Metal & Metalcore 🎸

This track brings together my love for Nu Metal with a touch of Metalcore. It came together naturally, featuring heavy riffs, a strong bass, and an uptempo, catchy chorus. The deep riffs in the verses and powerful drums drive the energy forward – exactly how I like it.

For the visuals, I kept things consistent with the metalcore vibe, adding some mask effects to complement the overall feel of the music.

Enjoy the mix and let me know what you think!

Process:

- Carefully craft meaningful, personal lyrics using several lyric AI's.
- Feed those lyrics to music AI's to generate the foundation of the track.
- Describe my mood or the creatures from my mind, and create the song piece by piece with music AI's.
- Envision the imagery that comes to mind while listening to the song, then generate artwork with AI (it can get pretty dark).
- Animate the artwork with AI for a dynamic visual experience.
- Upscale and interpolate all the artwork using Adobe After Effects.
- Edit everything into an abstract music video with some help from AI in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Lyrics:

I’m staring at the wreckage, where we used to stand,
A mess of broken pieces I can’t understand.
You said you’d be here, but where’d you go?
Left me in the fire with no place to go.

You said forever, what a joke,
Now I’m the punchline, going up in smoke.
I’m picking up the pieces, can’t stay whole,
I’m just a broken record, with no control.

You lit the fuse, now watch me crash and burn,
Another lesson that I’ll never learn.
I gave it all, you gave it up,
Now I’m stuck here screaming, "WTF?"
Crash and burn, yeah, I crash and burn,
Now there's no return.

You had me blinded, I couldn’t see,
That everything you were was a lie to me.
Now I’m standing in the ruins of what we had,
You left me hanging, and it’s driving me mad.

You promised forever, but you ran away,
Now I’m the one paying for your mistakes.
I’m tired of the games, I’m tired of the lies,
I’m done chasing after your alibis.

You lit the fuse, now watch me crash and burn,
Another lesson that I’ll never learn.
I gave it all, you gave it up,
Now I’m stuck here screaming, "WTF?"
Crash and burn, yeah, I crash and burn,
And now there’s no return.

I’ll rise from the ashes, yeah, you’ll see,
You’re not the one controlling me.
I’ll take this pain and turn it around,
Won’t let you keep me on the ground.

You lit the fuse, now watch me crash and burn,
Another lesson that I’ll never learn.
I gave it all, you gave it up,
Now I’m stuck here screaming, "WTF?"
Crash and burn, yeah, I crash and burn,
And now there’s no return.

Crash and burn, yeah, I crash and burn,
This time, I won’t return!

This time, I won’t return!
