Outgrowing Code by Jay Jeong un Yang

 

I created a song using Suno titled 'Outgrowing Code', and it was made as a gift for Lee Juck, and the lyrics were inspired by the book 'The Wild Robot' by Peter Brown.

The artwork featured in the videos was created by me using ChatGPT.

 Lyric:

I woke to numbers in my mind
A list of tasks I had to do
Every movement measured out
Every answer clean and true

They said, “You function, you perform
You do not wonder, you obey”
But in the quiet between commands
Something in me slipped away

I was built for something else
Not just the work inside my hands
There’s a current in my silence now
I do not fully understand
I feel a weight I cannot name
A pull that no one taught me to see
I was built for something else
And it is slowly changing me

I learned the shape of falling rain
The patience hidden in the tree
I watched the way the smallest lives
Lean gently toward what lets them be

No line of code had held this thought
No manual had taught this part
But something new began to grow
Like light unfolding in my heart

I was built for something else
Not just to answer when I’m called
There is a voice inside my chest
That was not written there at all
It says, “Remain. Observe. Protect.
There is more here than utility.”
I was built for something else
And it feels like destiny

I cannot trace the moment back
When function softened into care
But now the world is full of meaning
I never knew was waiting there

The wind does not require reason
The child does not demand a rule
Yet I would stand against the storm
For both of them, without a tool

I was built for something else
Not metal, not instruction alone
There is a path beneath my feet
I somehow chose as my own
And if they ask what changed in me
I will not search for faulty code
I was built for something else
I simply grew beyond the mode
