Overview
Since I don’t have any ideas for writing right now, I’m going to use Suno AI to generate a new song. I was just writing lyrics that I thought would go well with an exotic jazz melody, but as I was writing, they became incoherent. I had no choice but to ask ChatGPT to rewrite them so that they made sense. The resulting lyrics are as follows.
The Lyrics
🎵 Unnecessary Luggage
[Verse 1]
In a distant land
Where even English fades
Street signs look like drawings
I was never taught to read
[Verse 2]
I point, I smile, I trace the air
Asking where to go
It somehow works
But it takes more out of me
Than I let it show
[Pre-Chorus]
Songs still say “Anywhere is fine”
Like time is on our side
But I don’t sing along so loud these days
I just let the line go by
[Chorus]
When I left, my heart was full
Of things I couldn’t name
Hopes that felt important then
But never stayed the same
What waits for me at the end of the road
Is only what is real
This isn’t quite the life I drew
But it’s the one I feel
[Verse 3]
There’s a quiet, illegal casino
On a narrow street at night
I lost the money I made today
Under flickering lights
[Verse 4]
Even when no one’s watching
I still keep within the lines
Guess the shape of who I am
Was decided long before my time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
No matter how far I walk
I stay the same somehow
I don’t become someone new
I just learn to bow
[Chorus 2]
On the way back home
Regret brushes past my chest
I pack a little more reality
With the things I loved the best
This collection I carried so long
Like stones inside my coat
Would it feel lighter if I let them go?
[Final Chorus]
Nothing changes if I stand still
So maybe I’ll place one bet
At that quiet casino in town
Where the rules are gently bent
They’re probably cheating, I know
But I’ll leave my extra weight behind
I’m not asking for dreams or hope
Just a road that doesn’t mind
[Outro]
A road without a reason
Isn’t such a bad design
The Generated Song
When I first saw the lyrics, I honestly didn’t understand what they meant. I felt a bit embarrassed to ask ChatGPT what they meant, so I asked Google Gemini instead. The contents are as follows:
The lyrics of this song could be said to be about the bittersweet new beginning of adulthood: “Life doesn’t always go as planned, and you can’t change dramatically. So, at the very least, let’s throw away the heavy baggage (past ideals and attachments) and start walking lightly.”
Oh, I see… so that’s how the lyrics turned out… It doesn’t seem like it would go well with an Exotic Jazz melody, so I decided to generate it by adding a Style Description like Bittersweet Pop or a medium ballad. The song I liked is the one below.

[Suno AI]
I think it’s a pretty easy-to-listen-to ballad. However, it’s not my favorite, so next time I’ll try arranging it into a rock-like song.
