The Night That Named Me King by Jay Jeong un Yang

 

I created a song using Suno titled 'The Night That Named Me King', and the lyrics were inspired by the Shakespearean play Macbeth.

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

This is version 1.

 Lyrics:

Verse 1
You laughed and said tomorrow’s fake
Like it was just a game
We built our castles out of dust
And never gave them names
We ran on rooftop constellations
Barefoot on borrowed time
You said the world was just a door
We never had to find

Pre-Chorus
We stitched our youth with crooked thread
Swore we would never mend
We called it freedom, called it fate
Called it a perfect end

Chorus
You said growing up was optional
Like gravity was just pretend
We promised we’d stay unfinished
Like stories that would never end
We danced around the consequence
Like it would never reach our feet
But every year that passed us by
Took something we refused to keep

Verse 2
We traded clocks for paper wings
And calendars for jokes
We learned to vanish in the crowd
Anytime the silence spoke
You said that pain was for the others
For the ones who chose to stay
But every laugh we left behind
Began to sound too far away

Pre-Chorus
We wore our youth like armor thin
And thought it would suffice
But no one told us staying light
Would cost us every other life

Chorus
You said growing up was optional
Like loss was just a distant fear
We promised we’d stay unfinished
But time kept finishing the year
We hid our cracks behind the jokes
Said nothing real could touch our skin
But all the things we never faced
Began to echo deep within

Bridge
Maybe you meant to keep me safe
From everything that hurt
Maybe you thought that staying small
Was better than the dirt
But I’m tired of pretending now
That weightless means I’m free
Some dreams need roots to hold them down
Some wings need gravity

Final Chorus
You said growing up was optional
And I believed it way too long
We promised we’d stay unfinished
Like that was where we both belonged
But I’m learning how to carry this
The fear, the hope, the in-between
Not just the child who never aged
But the person I’m becoming clean

Outro
You laughed and said tomorrow’s fake…
But I’m still here.
And tomorrow’s waiting.
