While working with AI tools   I am dazzled and somehow uneasy with the overall effect of this line of work. Like many other people out there. It is so powerful and develops with lightning speed. Perhaps, we are building for ourselfs a kafkaesque world that we at the same time dread and want to escape? As part of my "Let the old masters talk about AI" series, I explored  what a possible deep fake of Franz Kafka would have to say about this. Let me introduce myself. I am Franz Kafka from Prague. I was asked to explain what people mean if they say that a story or a situation is "Kafkaesque." Although the word “Kafkaesque” is derived from my family name, I feel rather unfit to do the explaining. During my life I was just a subordinate employee of an insurance company. And it was actually not me who invented the term. It was my dear friend, Max Brod. He had promised to burn every page that I had written -  if he survived me. And he did survive me. But he broke his promise. He was the one who published my stories, and he described them as being “Kafkaesque.”Now, while I am physically dead but “immortal” in a broader sense of the word, I started issuing service complaints. I wanted my anonymity and my mortality restored.  I am not that kind of person who is comfortable with an audience or with eternity. But I received no answer. Now, I feel like sitting in front of an unknown authority, adhering to a body of law unwritten or hidden forever. I am issuing service complaint after service complaint. But there is always yet another "service complaint form" or a "next-level support line."  Some avatars ... bots ... What are they? As a former employee of an insurance company, I'm always wanting to ask, "Verify your claim." No claim without "reality." Sometimes, while I lay awake at night, I ponder: this world of artificial intelligence machines that was described to me, cannot be real. How can I talk to a service desk that is only a machine?  Am I wrong? Service desks and machines that talk like humans but do not feel or think anything, is it THAT what my friend Max had in mind when he coined the word

Monologue on becoming Kafkaesque

“Who Longs for Your Love, Burns Out” is a slow-burning neo-soul ballad. With smoky vocals, jazz-infused melodies, and poetic lyrics, the song explores the heartbreak of loving someone who can't return it. It's a story of longing, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet strength in letting go. Perfect for late nights, broken hearts, and souls that still crave a little soul.


Who Longs for Your Love, Burns Out

---

## [Verse 1]
You stand like silence in a crowded room  
Cold as marble, wrapped in your perfume  
I reach for fire, you give me ice  
I'm chasing love at any price  

---

## [Pre-Chorus]
And I wait for a sign,  
Just one crack in your wall  
But you love like a question—  
With no answer at all  

---

## [Chorus]
Who longs for your love, burns out  
Like a candle in the wind's cruel doubt  
You give just enough to make me believe  
But never enough for my heart to breathe  
Who longs for your love, burns out  

---

## [Verse 2]
I painted dreams on your frosted heart  
You blink, and watch them fall apart  
I'd be your shelter, I'd be your light  
But darling, I'm invisible to your sight  

---

## [Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching for stars,  
But you're smoke in my hands  
You love like a riddle  
No soul understands  

---

## [Chorus]
Who longs for your love, burns out  
Like a scream that's lost in the crowd  
You pull me close, then drift away  
I'm drowning slow in yesterday  
Who longs for your love, burns out  

---

## [Bridge – spoken/sung, minimal arrangement]
Maybe love's a language  
You were never taught to speak  
Maybe what I'm calling love  
Is just the hurt you'll never heal  

---

## [Final Chorus – building intensity]
Who longs for your love, burns out  
And I was flame, now I'm doubt  
One last breath, one final bow  
But love...  
You never learned how

Who Longs for Your Love, Burns Out

THE WOMAN WITH THE BIRDS

IN TOKYO by NOVA J

Taxi riding to Roppongi
I am eyeing on the crowd
Lookin’ for lover in the Red Hat
Don’t say his name too loud
They call him Precious he’s a bouncer
At the Mongolian strip club
Meet in the bathroom for a dime bag
Then stick it where you want some love

You best be careful of the police
Don’t wanna look too rough
Your best disguise is dressin’ preppy
You’ll take it all off at the club

(And when you get there)
Gonna (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance 

Because you playin’ like a hoe (hoe hoe)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
And you takin’ too much blow (blow blow)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
Sometimes you puttin’ on a show (show show)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
You gettin high and going low (low low)
In Tokyo (yo yo)

Wait for the signal close to midnight
When Nova J’eyenah lights her smoke
Order a cocktail with a wink-eye
Then laugh like you just heard a joke
Slip the baggie in your left sock
The bouncer does not check too deep
You got ten minutes in the back lot
Before the rich boys start to creep

They’re sniffin’ powder off their car keys
Callin’ you “Daddy” just for fun
But don’t you dare forget the plan, babe
We disappear before the sun.

(But right now we are)
Gonna (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance 

Because you playin’ like a hoe (hoe hoe)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
And you takin’ too much blow (blow blow)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
Sometimes you puttin’ on a show (show show)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
You gettin high and going low (low low)
In Tokyo (yo yo)

Oh not again
It’s 5AM
what’s his name?
Oh missed my train
I will behave
Another day (another day day day day day)

In Tokyo

🕯️ Kiss Me Wrong and I’ll Burn You Right 🕯️
A slow-burning alt-R&B spell soaked in neo-noir soul.
Sultry, breathy vocals glide through smoke and candlelight, revealing the aftermath of betrayal and the rise of dangerous power.
This is not a love song.
It’s a reckoning. A seduction. A warning whispered in velvet.

🎧 Mood: intimate, intoxicating, untouchable
🔥 Lyric to remember: “Kiss me wrong… and I’ll burn you bright.”

Let it smolder.

Kiss Me Wrong and I’ll Burn You Right

---

Verse 1
You traced my name with lips of sin
Thought you could taste what lies within
But I’m the flame behind the wine
Sip too deep and you’ll cross the line

Pre-Chorus
You lit the match, now hold it tight
You kissed me wrong—I’ll burn you right

Chorus
Burn you slow, make you crave the pain
Smoke in your lungs, heat in your veins
No escape once you touch this night
Kiss me wrong and I’ll burn you right
Whisper lies, but I taste the fight
So kiss me wrong…
And I’ll burn you right

Verse 2
You called it love, but I saw lust
You kissed my lips, but broke my trust
Now every breath you take is mine
Marked in smoke, sealed in design

Your bed still holds the shape I left
But all that’s warm has turned to theft
I gave you heat, you fed me lies
Now watch me bloom in your demise

Pre-Chorus
You lit the match, now hold it tight
You kissed me wrong—I’ll burn you right

Chorus
Burn you slow, make you crave the pain
Smoke in your lungs, heat in your veins
No escape once you touch this night
Kiss me wrong and I’ll burn you right
Whisper lies, but I taste the fight
So kiss me wrong…
And I’ll burn you right

Bridge
Say my name with a tremble, not pride
Beg for mercy while you’re still inside
There’s no heaven in this kind of night
Just velvet ruin under candlelight

Don’t ask me now to hold you close
You fed the flame, now bleed the ghost

Final Chorus (evolved)
Burn you slow, make you crave the pain
Smoke in your lungs, heat in your veins
No escape once you touch this night
Kiss me wrong and I’ll burn you right
Whisper lies, but I taste the fight
So kiss me wrong…
And I’ll burn you bright

NORTHERN LIGHTS by Nova J

[Verse 1]
I saw the Northern Lights last night
Slicing the sky like birds in flight
The sun goes down, the shine departs
Half a year of endless dark
If you were here, I wouldn’t complain,
But I walk alone on this frozen lane.

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty town don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.
(Oooooh oooooh)

[Chorus]
Just us two was all I knew
Now I’m still here, but half of me’s you
Win or lose, I can’t undo
The life we had, just me and you
(Oooooh oooooh)

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen mountains split in two
But nothing broke me like losing you.
The earth can shake, the sky can fall
Saying goodbye’s the hardest blow of all
When sorrow calls, I can’t confide
I only whisper to the other side

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the fire, through the unknown
I stumble on, but I’m alone
Your hand once held me, your love the flame
Now I cry and call your name (mmm)

[Chorus]
Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

[Bridge]
The colors rise where the shadows go
Green and violet, the heavens glow
I search the stars for a sign of your face
A fleeting spark in the vast of space

[Outro]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty house don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

WASTELAND by Nova J

[VERSE 1]
I’m not quite here, I’m not quite there
I can’t stop scrolling in my underwear
I’m not talking, you’re not talking, just an empty stare
Searching for another body somewhere close to here

[PRE-CHORUS]
If I’m being honest, I knew there was no connection
But I was high, supplies ran dry, and I don’t need perfection

[CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[HOOK]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh

[VERSE 2]
The sun has risen, the sheets are red
Your body like a dead fish, lifeless on the bed
My arms resemble spider webs, this pounding in my head
I really need to sleep, but I prefer to tweak instead

[PRE-CHORUS]
But now I’ve got a problem, the fact is you’re still near
I tell a lie and say goodbye and get you out of here

[BRIDGE]
I hope that you don’t hate me, I hope you’ll understand
It’s not my row, I blame the snow, I’m not that kind of man

[CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[HOOK]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 

[VOCAL BREAK]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

[VERSE 3]
Oh, I swear things will be better this way
There’s a needle hiding somewhere in this burning pile of hay
I did not find it last week or last night and not today
But I know if I keep hunting, I will find true love someday

[VERSE 4]
I refuse to settle, I refuse to compromise
I refuse to tell the truth, and now I’m lost in all the lies
My leather tongue no longer tastes my mother’s rhubarb pie
I’m hiding from the sun, and drinking blood like a vampire

[FINAL CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[OUTRO]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh

SUPREMACY:SIMULATION by Nova J

[Part 1: "Supremacy"]

[Verse 1]
In the light of the day
In the dark of the night
When I glance your way
When I shut my eyes
When I spill the secrets of my life
When I seek the way
Under pressure
Way, way, way

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
Come what may
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Verse 2]
In the thirst for intelligence
Death by dehydration
Parasites of inconvenience 
This is how it ends
In the ashes of ruin
Stop, stop, and go
In the midday microwave
Down in the dark below
In the afterglow of impending doom
In the land of the dead
Be…gone, gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
Come what may
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
In the land of the dead
Be…Be gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Verse 1 Repeat]
In the light of the day
In the dark of the night
When I glance your way
When I shut my eyes
When I spill the secrets of my life
When I seek the way
Under pressure
Way, way, way

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days
End of days
End of days

[Part 2: "Simulation"]

[Verse]
You awake and the game has ended
In a floating city in the blood red sky
Our humanity is just pretendin’
We don’t live and we don’t die
There’s a black box with billions of us all
The universe up in a cloud
Mapping humanity’s rise and fall
You’re just trying to figure it out
What did you learn from your time alive?
Did you crack the code?
Love is the only way to survive
Nothing else matters when you’re old

[Outro]

Simulation
(Simulation) of life of life
(Simulation)

(Simulation) of life of life
(Simulation)

(Simulation) of life of life
(Simulation)

(Simulation) of life of life
