Lyrics 🎶
Make way for the rising tide
There’s nothing left on the other side
Too late to apologize
No chance you can set this right

I know you wanna keep me buried
I’ve been waking over every word you said
What will you do when your
world stops turning?
You don’t really wanna wake the dead

If they try to divide us with silence
Cut the deadweight bring the violence
Don’t say it’s not enough
It’s not enough

I know you wanna keep me buried
I’ve been waking over every word you said
What will you do when your world stops turning?
You don’t really wanna wake the dead
So drag me through the flames
And I’ll rise
Drown me in your waves
And I’ll rise again

Or we rise
As we rise RISE
‘Cause iron sharpens iron and we were born in the fire
We Rise RISE
We know your time is coming
You were born to expire

Workflow🪄
1. Finding a couple of fitting prompts, often with the help of ChatGPT. I've asked it to generate prompts based on the song lyrics I give it. Then just a lot of testing and experimentation with keywords in Stable Diffusion, to find prompts that vibe with the song.
3. Entering the keyframes and prompt into the Automatic1111 extension Deforum and generating an animation (I usually do this 4 times with different settings/prompts to get more footage to work with later)
4. Editing the generated sequences in Premiere and then adding lyrics/effects in After Effects. I use the multicam feature in Premiere to cut between the generated animations, resulting in a more dynamic background with mostly the best parts. I create the lyrics in After Effects and also add a bunch of effects like additional camera movements, shakes, scratches, particles, blur and chromatic aberration. Most of these are made to react to the music through generated audio keyframes.

I am usually not a big fan of AI work, however, you do it in a clever and unharmful way. I love the result, this lyric video goes hard
