As a neurodivergent person, this literally describes my childhood exactly and it does it in such a beautiful way too?? This is one of my favourite songs ever now, thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
Pretty sure @j.mayamusic is a genius, possibly an angel, possibly one who doesn't even know she is an angel. I am 99.9999996% certain the breakpoint is exactly as you describe it to be, intentional.
I know most people probably have already said this. But this song just... SCREAMS neurodivergent. As someone with ADHD, I relate to this a lot. Having to hide this part of myself and act "normal", almost mechanical, while around other people. I know this song came out a while ago but... This is a certified neurodivergent anthem, in my opinion. Great job, J. Maya! 🥰
Your creativity with the lyrics and lyric videos is out of the world! Thank you for being vulnerable and making these songs that're sadly too relatable...I hope you continue to grow in the industry! ❤
...this logical exception ...can no longer ignore my performance is flawless yet I'm as alone as before ...If I stick with the program I know I'll never be more than a machine learning how to please. / I have to be myself! Like nobody else! Or there's no "me" left to sell / Throw away the manual It wasn't made for you If you stick with the program then you're no longer "you" I know that I'm a robot But now someone can see That I'm not a machine that was made to please / I am a machine learning how to be me. / / / : )
I know this ain't about Autism or neurodivergence but you hit right in the bulls eye for it. That... that's exactly how I feel about my social anxiety, my masking. Masking is something normal for everyone... is just that for us, spicy brains, It takes so much that it can end up... Killing our true self and it can even end our life. I still do it, but it got to a point where I was so depressed, so lost so empty... I was in such a low point... I'm still struggling... Masking can really be a deadly weapon for us... I wish I could live... normally.
stare at them for too long Laugh some, but not too much And sing the words to that song But only the chorus If someone says they want you Don't flinch, just let them touch It doesn't really matter what you want I know you wanna be yourself Like everyone else But you've always needed help Memorize the manual You're hopeless on your own If you make it look natural Then nobody will know The story of the robot Who knows they'll never be More than a machine learning how to please Make social calculations Know when you're s'posed to cry Fake real communication Rehearse your scripted lines Is living a performance? Depends how it's defined Forget that all your friends don't have to try I know you wanna be yourself Like everyone else But that's not where you excel Memorize the manual You're hopeless on your own If you make it look natural Then nobody will know The story of the robot Who knows they'll never be More than a machine learning how to please Be just what they expected Don't come as a surprise They might take you for granted That's just a part of life If you stick with the program Maybe one day you'll be More than a machine learning how to please I know you wanna be yourself I know you wanna be yourself, like everyone else If you stick with the program Maybe one day you'll be More than a machine learning how to please Just memorize the manual You're hopeless on your own If you make it look natural Then nobody will know The story of the robot Who had a secret dream To be more than a machine, more than a machine
As a software engineering student and someone who loves puns and word plays, this is Au! PS. Not to mention I’m also a bookwork and everything about your music just resonates differently with me haha
I knew it was going to be good, so I liked the video before playing it. I love the lyric; it really represents how I'm feeling right now, plus how you sing it carried so much emotion and made me tear up a bit 🙂🥲
if anyone ever asks me why you are my favourite artist, I’ll just show them this video. all the details and creativity you put into your songs and the lyric videos… it’s incredible! you’re amazing!
You are so damn talented, I'm definitely adding this song to my list of favorite songs right alongside Thanatos, Golden age, Achilles heel and Sunday crossword
i think we can all agree that she's a genius with lyrics! love this so much! i wish i could write lyrics like this XD, can't wait to hear your next masterpiece! :D
Maya, I appreciate more and more your writing. I also relate a lot to your lyrics. I would love to write a book someday about how it feels to think of yourself as a machine constantly learning, adding formules, following manuals to fit in. I am so glad I found your song and thank you for writing about these subjects
I knew this song through TikTok and I must admit that it's been a while since I heard a song that hit so deep, and I'm an extrovert and can feel fully identified with all of this!! This would be a new favorite for a good amount of time. Hope to keep hearing marvelous themes like this 💜
It's been a month and this is one of the only songs from 2022 that I can not stop coming back to. Amazing lyrics, and the perfect sound to accompany it. Thank you and I can't wait for whatever you drop next.
AHHH Wen i tell u i have been SO hyped for this - literally been counting down the days. And with all that hype ud think id have gotten my hopes too high but nope. Absolutely love this!!!
Just going down the J. Maya rabbit hole thanks to Survivor, and this is my favorite song I've heard thus far. The story of song is so gosh darn relatable, and you did a wonderful job expressing the melancholy of feeling like you're losing yourself to please others. Thank you for this powerful song. It spoke directly to my heart.
Maya you're the absolute best 😭✨ you create such magical (pun intended) pieces every single time and they hit so hard. I love you and your music so much 😩💕
Beautifully sang and written Miss Maya, been waiting for the full song since I heard a snippet on TikTok, right in the feels. Thank you for your creativity.
I love this song and have been listening to it on spotify but i just realized there was a music video! I love that with a bit of rudimentary coding, i can actually make sense of the coded bits. Like the stuff in between the verses and choruses? That stuff actually tells a story and its awesome.
I have listened to this song so many times, love everything about it. ❤ This entire song puts into words so much of what it feels like to be a neurodivergent person.
This hits bc i got so lonely at some point and lost all confidence in being myself that i actually made a creepy ML algo that takes in primary candidate data and spits out the most likely kind of date night ideas and ither interests a popular girl type would have :(
The thumbnail makes the video look like a coding explanation video and it makes it less recognisable to people wanting music. I'd suggest adding smthn ibdicating music in the thumbnail too
this hit me right in the neurodivergence! 😂😅
Yes! I feel personal attack 😅
I see ur also commenting on every song
Sameee
This, Library Card, and Ms. Protagonist are all like literally me
SAME
As a neurodivergent person, this literally describes my childhood exactly and it does it in such a beautiful way too?? This is one of my favourite songs ever now, thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
this means so much to me.
the CONCEPTS you come up with. the creativity in the lyricism, the visuals, the production, etc. i’m amazed.
Don't tell me that breakpoint on line 241 is supposed to mean thats her breaking point. If it is that is amazing genius
Pretty sure @j.mayamusic is a genius, possibly an angel, possibly one who doesn't even know she is an angel. I am 99.9999996% certain the breakpoint is exactly as you describe it to be, intentional.
It's an amazing observation! and I agree with you with how genius it is!! Thanks for noticing it and sharing!

You are so kind! Thank you
...this logical exception
...can no longer ignore
my performance is flawless
yet I'm as alone as before
...If I stick with the program
I know I'll never be
more than a machine learning how to please.
/
I have to be myself!
Like nobody else!
Or there's no "me" left to sell
/
Throw away the manual
It wasn't made for you
If you stick with the program
then you're no longer "you"
I know that I'm a robot
But now someone can see
That I'm not a machine that was made to please
/
I am a machine learning how to be me.

Wow, what a wonderful addition! ❤
so beautiful!
I know this ain't about Autism or neurodivergence but you hit right in the bulls eye for it.

I'm still struggling... Masking can really be a deadly weapon for us...
I wish I could live... normally.
I've had no wifi for four days and the first thing I see/listen to is this masterpiece....
This song hurt my feelings. It's so beautiful
stare at them for too long
Laugh some, but not too much
And sing the words to that song
But only the chorus
If someone says they want you
Don't flinch, just let them touch
It doesn't really matter what you want
I know you wanna be yourself
Like everyone else
But you've always needed help
Memorize the manual
You're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural
Then nobody will know
The story of the robot
Who knows they'll never be
More than a machine learning how to please
Make social calculations
Know when you're s'posed to cry
Fake real communication
Rehearse your scripted lines
Is living a performance?
Depends how it's defined
Forget that all your friends don't have to try
I know you wanna be yourself
Like everyone else
But that's not where you excel
Memorize the manual
You're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural
Then nobody will know
The story of the robot
Who knows they'll never be
More than a machine learning how to please
Be just what they expected
Don't come as a surprise
They might take you for granted
That's just a part of life
If you stick with the program
Maybe one day you'll be
More than a machine learning how to please
I know you wanna be yourself
I know you wanna be yourself, like everyone else
If you stick with the program
Maybe one day you'll be
More than a machine learning how to please
Just memorize the manual
You're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural
Then nobody will know
The story of the robot
Who had a secret dream
To be more than a machine, more than a machine
As a software engineering student and someone who loves puns and word plays, this is Au!
PS. Not to mention I’m also a bookwork and everything about your music just resonates differently with me haha
😆 Love the VS code theme
I knew it was going to be good, so I liked the video before playing it.
I love the lyric; it really represents how I'm feeling right now, plus how you sing it
carried so much emotion and made me tear up a bit 🙂🥲

Wow! As a person who struggles to act like a normal human being, this hit too deepp. Never found a song that would relate to me this much 🤍🤍

I knew this song through TikTok and I must admit that it's been a while since I heard a song that hit so deep, and I'm an extrovert and can feel fully identified with all of this!! This would be a new favorite for a good amount of time. Hope to keep hearing marvelous themes like this 💜

The neurodivergent anthem
As a fellow, with social anxiety. I feel belong to your song. Machine learning, library card and golden age.
This is so good! I'm glad I seen this on my for you page!
I already loved the song. This video tho omg omg omg omg this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
I needed this song, Thank you ♥️
❤
I love this song and have been listening to it on spotify but i just realized there was a music video! I love that with a bit of rudimentary coding, i can actually make sense of the coded bits. Like the stuff in between the verses and choruses? That stuff actually tells a story and its awesome.
such a creative video idea
The live was amazing had to immediately hop onto here and watch
I have listened to this song so many times, love everything about it. ❤ This entire song puts into words so much of what it feels like to be a neurodivergent person.
This is heckin awesome mate
All Engineers jumped and are in cloud 9 😂😁 VS Code ♥️
Amazing as always
This is amazing and it hits hard, I love it
This song gets very stuck in my head because I relate to it a lot.
I'm a new fan, don't change!
THIS IS AWESOME 💯
I've been looking forward to this song for so loong
Its amazing! Every minute of waiting was worth it :)
I listen to the song once and now it my favorite song
I love ittttt😭❤❤❤
coding sad and drunk to the theet at 5 am was one of the best things if felt this year
the lyric video is soooo creative!!!
This hits bc i got so lonely at some point and lost all confidence in being myself that i actually made a creepy ML algo that takes in primary candidate data and spits out the most likely kind of date night ideas and ither interests a popular girl type would have :(
I love this song ❤
Love it
The single quote missing at the end causing the red squigglies. Also if this wasn't done in VS Code, I'm gonna be surprised.
Well that was heartwrenching 😆
awasome song
Wow, this is cool
Wait why am I crying
You are fucking amazing!!!!!
LOVE IT!😩🫶✨
But only the chorus ❤️🥺
2:10 The empty if statement in line 252 means that she has no idea what to do if her attempt fails
Could this song be any more "on time"?!
Is it a problem that I relate¿¿¿¿
Lol
Never stop❤❤❤
lmao amazing
I have never found a better way to describe being autistic...
the adhd and autism anthem!
Ouch!!! This song actually hurts!!!!
I fucking hate how this song makes me cry everytime
why would u use javascript for a song called machine learning :")
This hit me right in the autism man
🧑💻🧑💻🧑💻
The thumbnail makes the video look like a coding explanation video and it makes it less recognisable to people wanting music. I'd suggest adding smthn ibdicating music in the thumbnail too
I'm running away from this cause I don't like it and musicians like you making fire songs with a coding music video 😭
Love all neuordivergent people click with this. It hurts. So much.
Holy sht I found this from looking up machine learning. Jfc this is genius!! Never felt that when seeing a lyric video before.😮
❤️
🧡
