Lyrics 🎶
Wake me up

The forces that fuel my ambition are coming undone
All of the meaning derived from existence
Cast into the sun

And as I stare into the void
Contemplating my despair
A thief of joy leaves me ransacked
Ascend, never again
This crippled fantasy cannot mend
I feel the end closing in on me now

Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
The truth still remains

Vanity consuming me
I realize now I've lost my way
Sleeping for days
But never dreaming

This blight plagues every night
'Til I've forgotten why I still fight
And now I question why I'm alive, OH

Why am I still here?
Forever biding my time at the edge of a knife

Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear

Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here

I know you're scared but
Don't let it hold you back
Now I see a faint light
Close your eyes, follow me down
I know there's still a piece of me left to be
Saved, one day we'll take flight

Endlessly, I'm counting the days, and writhing in pain
Wash away my dismay, absolve me of blame

Wake me
Why am I still here?

Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear

Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here
Never forget why you came here

Tools 🛠️
Background made in Automatic1111 Stable Diffusion Deforum extension with help from ChatGPT.
Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Process 🪄
1. Finding fitting stable diffusion prompts for the music video.
I ask ChatGPT to give me fitting prompts based on the lyrics I feed it. I test the outputs and make changes based on the results from img2img generations with Stable Diffusion. I also try out different models and Loras to find outputs I like.

2. Getting music reactive keyframes for the animation.
I give the song to this audio keyframe tool: [ Ссылка ] and give it suitable functions for the values I want. I personally use 25 frames per second, something like “0.60 - x^6” for strength schedule and “1 + x*10” for Translation Z in 3D mode. I often play around with these settings and also give the 3D rotations different functions to react to.

3. Setting up a render in Deforum.
Now I enter the keyframes and prompts into Deforum to start generating an animation. I usually do this 4 times with slightly tweaked settings and prompts to get different results to work with later.

4. Editing in Premiere Pro.
To get a more dynamic video, I cut between the different animations in a multicam sequence, picking the best parts and cutting to the music.

5. Finishing up in After Effects.
In After Effects I manually add the lyrics, timing and dividing them as I see fit. I also add a bunch of effects like additional 3D camera movements, shakes, overlays, particles, blur and chromatic aberration. Most of these are made to react to the music through generated audio keyframes.
