Lyrics:
No time to waste
Gonna be late for fate
You know what they say ‘bout bright flames
Gonna burn out
They gonna replace you
Replicate
AI generate you
 
No time to waste
Gonna be late for fate
You know what they say ‘bout bright flames
Gonna burn out
They gonna replace you
Replicate
AI generate
 
I don't know the things I wanna say until I say it
I hate it till I play it
Up on stage and see your faces
Let go of the reins
Now my whole brain’s a one man circus
This has to be my fate
It’s my only sense of purpose
 
Make it a character
You're her but you're not her

No you can’t take a day
You’re our brightest flame
No you can’t change your name
You’re our brightest flame, woah!
 
I don't know which way to go
So I continue forward

The pure and utter horror
Realizing I left me behind
I'm lonelier than ever
But I guess that's for the better
Time to kill and bills to pay
And plenty things to write

I’m just a little not myself lately
Too late to contemplate
You chose your fate
Maybe I should
 
Make it a character
You're her but you're not her

No you can’t take a day
You’re our brightest flame
No you can’t change your name
You’re our brightest flame
No you can’t take a day
You’re our brightest flame
No you can’t change your name
You’re our brightest flame

I’m done, I’ve just begun (la la la)
Why am I burning out?
Did I fly too close to the sun? (la la la)
Why am I burning out?
It was just starting to get fun (la la la)
Why am I slowing down?
Why am I burning out? (la la la)
Why am I burning?
It’s burning
 
No time to waste
Gonna be late for fate
I know what they say ‘bout bright flames
Gonna burn out
They gonna replace me
Replicate
AI generate me
 
Gotta keep up
I’m eating my own dust
Don’t know what to do or to trust
Gonna burn out
They gonna replace me
Replicate
AI generate

No time to waste (I don’t know if I can go on)
Gonna be late for fate
You know what they ‘bout bright flames
Gonna burn out
They gonna replace you
Replicate
AI generate you
 
No time to waste (but I know the show must go on)
Gonna be late for fate
You know what they ‘bout bright flames
Gonna burn out
They gonna replace you
Replicate
AI generate
 
I don't know which way to go
So I continue forward
The pure and utter horror
Realizing I left me behind
 
I could write
A thousand songs about it all
I've just begun, now I can't stop
Lose your mind
Stay who you’re not
But the brightest of flames
Burn half as long

A Thousand Songs About It All: Act 1

My Only Sense Of Purpose

Stream/Buy

I'm not sure where to start with 'Automated'. This song started as a rough idea I left for a bit on my iPhone and MPC. I was trying to create something similar to The Weeknd, with lots of reverb and a simple yet effective vocal melody line. Then, one night, I was pretty wasted and there wasn't a soul to be found in my parents' place, so I went for it and made as much noise as I could. So I sat down at my Korg C540 concert grand and started playing some melody scores and chord progressions. I was suddenly struck by the idea of a piano loop that I'd invented, and I knew it was a winner. I knew exactly where to send the production of the song, from the sound selection to the drum pattern I chose to go with. So, I had this really cool song idea that went perfectly with the vocal melody line I'd recorded on my iPhone earlier. Then I recorded it and mixed and mastered it. I got some ideas for the lyrics by working with Meta's AI 'Llama' and came up with something that could work. I hope you like it! Have a good rest of the week!

LYRICS:

HOOK:
I'm automated
Mad faded 
I’m automated 
I’m so shaded

FINALE:
I'm lost in the moment
Losing shapes and sounds
I’m in this torment
Feeling lost and no found
Yeah

PREHOOK:
I vanish 
Escaping my reality
I try to see the positivity
But 

1:
I’m wired up, got my cup 
filled high up a notch
Mad faded, staying alive
I’m getting hard to catch

I picked up the wrong pill
And now I seem to clutch
Between leaves and lips
in the centre of this patch

Goodbye
I'm a robot aging 
oxidising on booze
But the liquor's got me feeling
like I'm in pursuit
Cause

2:
I'm a machine malfunctioning
I’ve been keen to win
Make this happen from the pill to the VIP

I got my heart beating slow
The chemicals whim
Inside my being let me break my own chin

I’m searching for a spark, my soul’s on speed
The liquor's got me feeling like I'm a robot on some shit
Cause

3:
My heart's racing fast
I'm chasing the thrill
Got my spirit off the tracks
Artificial intelligence’s ill 

A robot cracking up
Losing emotions here
Nuts and bolts shaking up
Breaking the addiction years

I'm searching for the truth
In the dark of my gears
I see my way through
But I seem to disappear
Cause

Automated

“Overall Stardust ✨”

Hey! Thank you for being here and enjoy the fruits of hard work. I have been making music on a daily basis since the year of 2011, back when I was in my freshman year of high school, but my first projects were made in 2008, back when I was in my sophomore year of junior high. Making music has always been a key element in my life because it is a talent we all share in my family. 

I started with a Gateway computer running Windows 7 and FL Studio 9. Then I landed on Ableton Live, the DAW that took my heart by storm. I finally arrived at what would become my true musical endeavour: sampling old records on an MPC. This all would become something like a musical dream since I started wanting to make songs without a DAW or PC for that matter. 

I went down on a scavenger hunt and found the Tascam Model line up and bought a Model 24.

This machine helped me as it was an entry level product for DAWless production. That’s how songs such as “It’s On” or “Yall Hedz” came to be. By producing then on an MPC plugged straight on to the PC serving as a hub to the Tascam Model 24. So I created my debut album “ArK Of All Trades” a Frankenstein mix between DAWless production and a dance made by both FL Studio and Ableton. 

Now, I’m working on my Sophomore Album.

So to me this is simple, to just make songs I think are “listenable” since I had a pretty rocky start on this. People would tell I’m -not- cut for this (ouch). So I’m not here to chase clout or claiming a fame pass. I produce the songs that come from the gut of my heart and the truth of my soul.

Speaking of truth, I was also a drug addict who had to battle addiction against drugs such as cocaine and 2-CB. It was the worst 8 years of my life. I started smoking pot on a weekly basis in my sophomore year of high school, something that escalated. I still remember my female classmates hating on me because I would come to class high as fuck and smelling of weed. It was all crazy bad, but it was part of my story. I wouldn’t deny part of my history since it has always been what fuels what I put on my lyrics.

Speaking of another more hard hitting truth: I’m a native speaker of the Spanish language. This is because I was born in Chile. 

So yeah 😎, welcome to my SoundCloud, enjoy the ride.
