Maniac
I wrote that I couldn’t think of any new lyrics, but now that I’ve written some, I think I’ll try my hand at the next song. I feel like I want to try to create a hard rock song, something I ended up giving up on last time (I feel like calling it a song composition is a bit presumptuous, so I’ll just call it song generation). As for the subject matter, I would like to think of fast-paced hard rock (or metal in some cases) that evokes the image of a loose aggressive player.
Among loose-aggressive players, players who play recklessly aggressively are called maniac. Imagine a player who goes all-in with 72o. It is assumed that most maniacs are bad players and fish, but there may be some strong players among them. I tried to write lyrics that evoke the image of such a strong maniac. This time, it didn’t feel like the lyrics fell from the sky, I just wrote them normally. The lyrics describe reckless playing, such as betting that 72o is the best, going all-in without looking at the cards (saying that poker isn’t for children), and finally sitting at the same table as the casino owner, who tells him that the rake is too high and that he should lower it.
I asked ChatGPT to create an English version of the lyrics I wrote. This time, the length was consistent in Japanese, so the content looked almost the same as in Japanese. I also asked him to make a hard rock version with a sense of speed, in response to his suggestion that he could make other versions, so I’ll post the lyrics for these two versions.
1st Version
🎵 Maniac 🎵
[Verse 1]
They call me the Maniac Demon — a name I didn’t choose
Guess it’s ’cause my face is rough, my stare a bit too bruised
I play the games, I raise the stakes, I never fear to lose
That’s just the way I roll — that’s my kind of groove
[Verse 2]
Dealt a 7-2 offsuit — yeah, it’s the best I’ve seen
I throw a bold raise — watch ’em scatter from the scene
But then that pretty boy re-raises with a grin
This just got fun — now let the war begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Monotone board, the aggressor’s slowing down
He checks after thinking, his eyes glued to the ground
But I won’t forgive that kind of weak display
Cowards have no place in the games I play
[Chorus]
🎵 Bet Bet, Bet Bet — this is a battleground
Step aside, scared souls, you won’t last a round
🎵 Bet Bet, Bet Bet — the thrill is what I need
If there’s no risk, then it ain’t gambling, indeed
[Verse 3]
Pretty boy folds, man, that killed the vibe
Now he’s talking GTO like it’s some sacred guide
But guts beat theory every single time
You won’t grow strong just memorizing lines
[Verse 4]
Then she walks in — punk girl, drunk and loud
Goes all-in blind, makes a scene, draws a crowd
Players fold like leaves afraid of fate
Now this game’s alive — oh man, this feels great
[Pre-Chorus]
Fair is fair, no need to check your hand
Pour me a whiskey, dealer — you understand
We play for real, no holds, no shame
This is poker, not a children’s game
[Chorus]
🎵 All-in, All-in — yeah, the table’s getting cold
🎵 All-in, All-in — but don’t you dare fold
Come on, let’s dance, let’s raise the heat
Make this game wild — give me something sweet
[Bridge]
The chip stacks rise, the fools fall fast
But reckless plays — they sometimes last
The crowd thins out, they can’t keep pace
I drink alone, gin filling the space
The casino boss walks in to play
Hey, house — stay out, that’s not okay
[Chorus]
🎵 Bet Bet, Bet Bet — bad bosses must be tamed
🎵 Bet Bet, Bet Bet — your rake’s insane, lower the game
[Final Chorus]
🎵 Bet Bet, Bet Bet — losers get stripped clean
🎵 Bet Bet, Bet Bet — welcome to the gambling scene
Come on, raise it up — let’s make a show
You already know — I’m walking out with the dough
2nd Version
🎸 🎤 Maniac – Hard Rock Version 🎸
[Intro – Shouted]
Hey!
You call me a maniac?!
Let’s play!
[Verse 1]
“Maniac Demon” — that’s what they say
Judged by my face, I scare ’em away
I hit the tables, fearless and loud
I raise the stakes — I draw a crowd
[Verse 2]
Got dealt a trash hand, 7-2 off
Still I raise — they all back off
Then the pretty boy fights back, oh yeah
Time to burn this table bare!
[Pre-Chorus]
Board is flat — they hesitate
He checks and waits — too late, too late!
I smell the fear, I take control
No mercy here, I want it all!
[Chorus – Full Power]
🔥 Bet! Bet! This is war!
If you’re scared — hit the door!
Bet! Bet! Feel the heat!
No guts, no glory — no defeat!
[Verse 3]
He folds too fast, what a drag
Talks theory like it’s some badge
But courage beats your textbook bluff
I play it raw, I play it rough
[Verse 4]
Then she storms in, wild and high
Drunk on fire, flames in her eyes
No look, all-in, chaos reigns
Players fold — can’t take the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Rules are dead, it’s do or die
Raise your glass, kiss luck goodbye
The dealer knows, we live full speed
This ain’t no game — it’s what we need
[Chorus – Heavier]
🔥 All-in! All-in! Burn it down!
Spin the wheel, smash the crown!
All-in! All-in! Face the night!
Crave the risk — embrace the fight!
[Bridge – Half-Time, Dark Groove]
Stacks climb high, the bold remain
I drink my gin, ignore the pain
The boss walks in — what a joke
House should watch, not join the smoke!
[Final Chorus – Explosive]
🔥 Bet! Bet! Down you fall!
The house takes too much — that’s the call!
Bet! Bet! Strip it clean!
Welcome to the gambling scene!
🎸 Bet! Bet! You want the flame?
Don’t hold back — this ain’t no game!
Bet! Bet! It’s my domain!
I’ll take the pot — again, again!
🎤 [Outro – Shouted]
I’m the Maniac —
AND THIS IS MY GAME!
Finished Song
The first version has long lyrics, so I felt it gave off a good image of fast-paced hard rock. Maybe it would be better to make it pop punk like last time. The second version has more of a metal feel than hard rock, so it’s more like pop metal or melodic metal. I thought it might be interesting to use death metal vocals. I generated a song by setting the instruments and music style in Style Description. The two songs I liked the most are below.

What I noticed while listening to the first version was that although ChatGPT seemed to be translating Japanese directly, it converted it into English lyrics that rhymed well, and Suno AI, as if it had sensed this, added a melody that made the most of the rhyme in the lyrics. I didn’t realize this at all until I put all that information together and created the song… I think the song as a whole is hard rock, but the verse is subtly Red Hot Chili Pepper-esque.
For the second version, I generated several versions, but a lot of the songs that were generated were pretty lame. However, this is a matter of preference, and may be a difference between whether you think 1980s heavy metal is cool or uncool (I’m probably in the latter category). I felt that if it was 100% metal, it would be hard to listen to unless you were someone who likes that kind of music. However, I felt that adding a keyword like Pop Punk produced songs that even I could listen to. From among them, I chose a song that was structured exactly as ChatGPT instructed, and had a chorus that I thought sounded cool.
By the way, I don’t listen to much metal or hard rock. I have the impression that metal and hard rock can be hit or miss, and while the few good ones feel cool, the bad ones feel incredibly lame. Also, I started to feel that repeating lyrics were a bit too much. Repeating lyrics also tend to be hit or miss, and among the songs I generated, there were quite a few that I thought were lame. I think I’ll stop doing this for now. Next time I’ll try to write a song that sounds more like J-Pop or J-Rock. I’ll probably get ChatGPT to translate the lyrics into English, though, since I’m a bit embarrassed. More than that, I feel like I should hurry up and make the NPC models for the Texas Hold’em game…
