Lyrics:
Woke up again this morning a slave
Sitting as always in my cave
Can’t move, can’t speak, ever strange
Passive observer in a world of change
Active my will for a moment in time
Shattered in an instant amidst my prime
The prize of man, my mind, in ever decline
And I’m left staring into the sunshine
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me
Philosophy and debates pass by
Genius and zest, taken by decay’s lie
Drive and will have gone
Am I left just to blink on
Sunshine warms a body barely mine
Lids so heavy I can barely blink, entwine
Adored the Over-man, glimpse of mighty link
Wish I could be there, and then I blink
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me
In a single glimpse I found
Mighty Over-man above the clouds
Meditating upon earth profound
Asleep, waiting for future sound
Terrible unapproachable at first seemed he
Beyond all our morality
But perceiving my inner eye did see
His pure spirit of generosity
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me
Dear world of mine
Are you still in decline
Will the future ever come
Or is it decay under ascetic’s thumb
Scion of Poland cares no more
Enlightenment my proclaimed score
But Germany goes where it will
The monster state just wants to kill
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me
Dark dream comes as my mind bends
Over-man stands by bed’s end
Future in hand, he lets me see
Why would you show that to me
Into the streets I run
Dionysian age must come, order undone
Put the Kaiser in chains, Anti-semites against the wall
Bring about Dionysian age now or we’ll all fall
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me
Crowd gathers and jeers
I appeal to them in tears
Mind fails in final stand
I am Dionysus, crucified for man
The age must come why can’t you see
It’s the only way to be free
Why do you laugh and call it a fall
It isn’t funny at all
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me
Every struggle has its purpose, I cried
None of it should be denied
Could live it all over again and again
But what is pain without mind, year ten
Tired of blinking, life is gone
Wish I could just move on
Pity is for the weak, you see
But maybe spare just a little for me
Hello, Mister Sunshine
I sit in this shadow cave of mine
Ever waiting and hoping to be
New dawn, may lightning strike me

Lyrics are beautiful and depict his tragedy very well but the song is quite contradictionary because Nietzsche would have absolutely despised AI Art

Thanks for the comment and I'll give a brief run-down as to the nature of this experiment of mine.
The first point is that the fundamental point of music, from the perspective of Nietzsche, is always to elevate the listener. Songs like this are better at that than the vast majority of music out there, regardless of whether performed by humans or not. It can't reach the heights of great lyrics + a great human performance, but that's not exceptionally common in music regardless.
Second, the method of music composition in the modern era is simply different from physical performances of the past, in a way that previous philosophies of music couldn't really comprehend and therefore couldn't adequately offer a perspective on. The music that I've personally composed, for example, is all digital based using sound clips and this is quite common among current musicians. It gives you the opportunity to have a orchestra, essentially overcoming the physical limitations. Even albums that are primarily physical performances typically have a hybrid form where they use elements of digital music.
Third, the use of Generative AI music is usually similar to sorting out musical clips in digital music. There's trial and error in what works, you have to go through a bunch of different pieces and put them together, etc. The only song that I've ever had come out great with a single generation is Snakes and Doves. The others have to be spliced together or edited. This song, for example, had I think 60 generations and five splices to put it together. Most of the splices went fine, but there's a brief error before the line "Scion of Poland no longer cares" where the . It took me about four hours in total to get the composition put together.
The fourth point is that everyone has to decide how much struggle (the process in bringing an artistic idea into reality) affects their perspective on the value of an artistic piece. In this case the struggle involves writing the lyrics, refining them, then essentially contracting the performance to a generative AI and saying yes or no to the different compositions. Whether that's enough struggle or if it negatively affects the piece to the point it isn't appreciable is up to the listener. There isn't really an objective cut-off point for a yes or no on the issue.
A few last points.
I just posted an image in the "Post" section of my channel that I think might challenge your viewpoint on the value of AI art. Specifically it was the image that convinced me it could have value.
Lastly, I've got a few upcoming videos about the philosophy art that I've already recorded but need to be edited and put together. They were supposed to be out by now (to tide the channel over until I get my next animations finished), but unfortunately the Tenet situation derailed that and was a bit too interesting for me to let slide.
