私は延々とSUNOのプロンプトや表現力を調べる為に、AIの潜在変数の空間を調査しているのですが、それを始めてから1年が経過したので、ここで原点に戻り新たに再スタートをする意味で、シンプルな失恋ソングを作って見ました。余計な事をしない方がSUNOは素直な反応を返します... この曲のテーマは、恋人と別れる時に「継続的な痛みを残すのか、一時的だが激しい痛みを与えるか?」の選択がテーマです。 同じテーマの曲が私の親友、アレックスの曲にもあります。表現の違いを是非楽しんで下さい!(リンクは下) --- English --- I've been researching the space of AI latent variables to examine SUNO's prompts and expressiveness for a long time, but it's been a year since I started, so I've decided to go back to the basics and make a new start by making a simple broken heart song. SUNO will respond more honestly if I don't do anything unnecessary... The theme of this song is the choice you make when breaking up with a lover: "Do you want to leave a lasting pain or a temporary but intense pain?" My best friend, Alex, has a song with the same theme. Please enjoy the difference in expression! https://suno.com/song/6c8511df-c603-4335-8828-110e9d786fb8 --- Lyrics --- (Explanation after the lyrics) [Intro] Oh, the cat knows why… [Verse 1] Curled on the couch like a secret unsaid, Those golden eyes burn what I left for dead. You watched us dance, you watched us break, Silent as sorrow, a quiet earthquake. [Pre-Chorus 1] Was I too close, did I pull too tight? Did I love like a storm or vanish like night? Your fur holds whispers I can’t unhear, The cat knows why—but won’t come near. [Chorus] Tell me, did you watch her slip away? Did she cry in the dark or just softly stray? Say it was doomed, say love’s a cruel lie, I’ll take a false truth—just let me ask why. Oh, the cat knows why… [Verse 2] Tiptoes on the table where her teacup sat, You blink at the ghost of the girl I lack. Paws press the places her fingers once trailed, Your silent answers—they never fail. [Pre-Chorus 2] Did I speak too soft, did I fight too loud? Was I a bitter rain or a careless cloud? Your tail flicks secrets I can’t defy, The cat knows why—but won’t reply. [Chorus] Tell me, did you watch her slip away? Did she cry in the dark or just softly stray? Say it was doomed, say love’s a cruel lie, I’ll take a false truth—just let me ask why. Oh, the cat knows why… [Bridge] Claws on the carpet, scratching her name, Every purr’s a riddle I can’t tame. If you could speak, would you bare her sin, Or just blink again, and let the ache begin? [Break] Silent witness… silent wound… [Chorus] Tell me, did you watch her slip away? Did she cry in the dark or just softly stray? Say it was doomed, say love’s a cruel lie, I’ll take a false truth—just let me ask why. Oh, the cat knows why… [Outro] Rest in your silence, I’ll rest in mine, Both chasing shadows we’ll never define. So blink once more, beneath this sky… The cat knows why... ahh... ---Explanation--- This song is made with expressions that should not be taken literally. The cat does not know the answer to the breakup. The cat exists as a pet, and at the same time, it is the conductor of the story, the gaze of the protagonist, and a projection of the protagonist's heart. The cat's behavior is the gaze of the protagonist when he is reminiscing about the past. When I say that the cat knows, I mean that the protagonist has almost found the answer to his worries, but he is not sure because he will never be able to check the answer again. The cat shows this, and is just trying to fill in the last piece by saying, "You know the answer, you were in this room with my lover, right?" Of course, cats only say meow and beg for food, but it is people who give different meanings to these actions. Why cats? It is difficult to make metaphors with dogs. Unlike dogs, cats are generally kept indoors at all times. And they have a very strong tendency to want to be aware of their surroundings at all times, and this is why they scratch the door when you close it. This means that they are always watching their surroundings, and cats are observing and keeping track of their partners' behavior.
