Tantalus
[Instrumental Intro] Mhm-hm. Hmh-hm-hm-hm. Mhm-hm. Hmh-hm-hm-hm. [Verse One] My mind’s gone static... I don’t know what to write, should I keep it dramatic? No! Oh—wait, I know! Something sweet, all romantic—No! Oh—hold up, I got it! Make it bold, raw, frantic—No! Oh—this is it! Take a spin on it, something poetic—No! [Pre-Chorus] Too cliché, too stiff, doesn’t hit quite right! Tantalus would have better luck than I! [Chorus] Honestly, it’s just luck and spite when I write. Nothing but a self-absorbed plight, Just a narcissistic hypocrite in plain sight. Call it whatever—it’s still just "I, I, I!" Isn’t it ironic? [Break] Mhm-hm. Hmh-hm-hm-hm. [Verse Two] Didn't even name it ‘til the pre-chorus. Didn't have a topic—just let it run its course. This is what you wanted to hear, right? "I, I, I—Me, Me, Me!" No? Then fine—I'll make it about you. Teach you how to write? Make Shakespeare look like a dog that lost its bite! I'll make it about you—all about you. [Bridge] Alright, here’s how it’s done—pay close attention. You write something—or maybe you don’t. Take a shortcut, just don’t let it show. The crowd finds it—skips it, moves on. That’s fine— You got it, you make it—polish, inflate it. Drop it—they’ll praise it, you’ll fake it. Feed it to AI—they love it, praise it, you love it. The crowd finds it—skips it, moves on. That’s fine—oh, oh, oh. [Pre-Chorus] Too cliché, too stiff, doesn’t hit quite right! Tantalus would have better luck than I! [Chorus] Honestly, it’s just luck and spite when I write. Nothing but a self-absorbed plight, Just a narcissistic hypocrite in plain sight. Call it whatever—it’s still just "I, I, I!" Isn’t it ironic? [Break] Mhm-hm. Hmh-hm-hm-hm. [Chorus - Outro] Honestly, it’s just luck and spite when I write. Nothing but a self-absorbed plight, Just a narcissistic hypocrite in plain sight. Call it whatever—it’s still just "I, I, I!" Isn’t it ironic? I just sang this three times… three times. [Created and Written by @thexfool with Suno AI]

This song is brilliantly self-aware and sharp, blending raw honesty with a touch of irony. The clever wordplay and frantic energy make it both thought-provoking and engaging. Awesome work, The Fool... or in this case, The Genius.

This song is such a clever and introspective take on the creative process! The way you play with self-doubt, irony, and the struggle to write something meaningful is both relatable and refreshing. It’s a bold and brilliant exploration of artistry and ego. I like it a lot! Well done! 👏🔥👏

"Call it whatever—it’s still just "I, I, I!"
Isn’t it ironic?" flows so amazingly! <3
