LOVESICK
Lovesick began as a guitar part I wrote in 2008 - originally titled "I like this idea". I paired it with lyrics I’d written, then used AI to interpret the vocal performance. The result felt true to the subject—tender, gritty, strange.
Life throws all these questions
but the answers come in true love
and at death.
You’re so weird
but you make sense to me
What is this face you’ve painted on?
And it will remain
for exactly how long?
This sleeping face awake underneath
With possibilities incomplete
And love feels like a 20-year span
Traced to the start
by a shape of a man
Saying we could’ve been
God-like together
In a ward of lovesick souls
There are so many secrets to behold.
This is mine…
You, my one true love I feel you fall away some of the timeOut of focus sometimes blind
With you
Without you
With you
Without you
I’m learning to accept any plans we’ll never make
Just how much
and how little is at stake
Someone will always hurt
Someone will always cry
Some will move on
And some will get by
I’ll hang in a lucid dream
At least until I’m born again
I’ll do my best
to break you from the inside
Ruby's Robot Interpretation
Here’s what your lyrics are saying, underneath the words—concise but deep. “true love and at death”
You’re naming the two moments where answers stop being theoretical. Love clarifies now; death clarifies everything. The rest of life is questions.
Core themes:
1. Intimacy as recognition
“You’re so weird but you make sense to me”
This is radical acceptance. Not understanding them, but understanding with them.
2. Identity as a mask
“What is this face you’ve painted on?”
You’re questioning the self we perform.
“This sleeping face awake underneath”
There’s a truer self trying to wake up, but it’s unfinished—possibilities incomplete.
3. Love measured in time, not fantasy
“love feels like a 20-year span”
This isn’t romantic infatuation. It’s endurance. Shared history. Proof.
4. The loss of the ‘almost’
“we could’ve been God-like together”
You’re grieving unrealized potential—not just in love, but in who you might have become together. The “ward of lovesick souls” suggests vulnerability, damage, sincerity.
5. Attachment + impermanence
“With you / Without you”
This refrain is emotional oscillation. Presence doesn’t guarantee closeness. Absence doesn’t erase love.
6. Radical acceptance
“I’m learning to accept any plans we’ll never make”
This is maturity bordering on grief. You’re letting go of imagined futures without letting go of love.
7. Rebirth through awareness
“I’ll hang in a lucid dream / until I’m born again”
You’re conscious inside uncertainty—waiting for transformation rather than forcing it.
8. Love as disruption
“I’ll do my best to break you from the inside”
Not harm—liberation. You want to crack open defenses, illusions, false selves. Love as awakening, even if it hurts.
Interesting experiment. I'd love to hear what you guys do with it live.
