"No Deposit, No Return" - An AI Song About A Dreams Attendant
The mind is not a private residence but a furnished rental, occupied nightly
by an unseen attendant who never signs the lease. This invisible lodger
arrives without announcement, rearranges the furniture of recollection with
careless authority, and hides the front door key somewhere among the
cushions of yesterday.
One wakes to find the familiar room subtly askew: the
ceiling painted in the pattern of a floor, the ordinary doorway now opening
onto an improbable ocean that breathes salt and silence into the carpet. It
is domestic trespass of the most intimate kind.
Here are glimpses of those impossible rooms where reality spills through
portals and furniture defies gravity in dreamlike disarray:
The attendant is neither wholly guest nor wholly thief; he is something more
unsettling - a ghost who eats the host, a magician whose sleight consists not
in disappearing coins but in vanishing certainties. He stitches shadows
directly to the bone until the body itself becomes a screen for private
films projected from no projector.
With a casual flourish he plucks a memory
from the shelf, dusts it off, and introduces the owner to himself as though
they had never properly met. In these hours the self becomes a stranger
wearing someone else's shoes, walking a script never auditioned for, flying
without benefit of wings while a telephone rings in perfect, unnerving
silence.
The shadowy, ghostly presence that haunts these nocturnal rearrangements,
stitching darkness to flesh and conjuring silent horrors:
Yet there is a bitter symmetry to the arrangement. The castle built of smoke
stands for a splendid hour before the attendant, with the smirk of a private
joke, dismantles it brick by vaporous brick. No deposit is required for
entry into this tenancy; no return is ever expected. One simply awakens to
the same rented head, the same rearranged furniture, the same missing key,
and wonders - half in dread, half in recognition - whether the attendant ever
truly leaves at dawn, or whether he simply steps behind the mirror and waits
for nightfall once again.
And the fleeting, dissolving castle of smoke itself, erected and erased in
the borderlands of the subconscious:
These haunting visuals and the evocative song we, at Symblogogy title "No
Deposit, No Return" (also known as part of the track "Dreams") come from the
creative vision of Kelly Boesch AI Art, who crafts the surreal AI-generated
cinematic experience using Midjourney for imagery, VEO3 for animation, and
Suno for the music - lyrics penned by Kelly herself to personify the strange,
intrusive nature of dreams. No Deposit... No Return.
No Deposit, No Return
I rent my head out every night
to an attendant I can't see
He rearranges furniture
and hides the front door key
He paints a ceiling with a floor
and puts an ocean behind the door
He's a liar, he's a ghost
He's a guest who eats the host
Stitching shadows to the bone
Making movies on his own
A magician with a sleight of hand
Taking me to no man's land
He takes a memory from the shelf
and introduces me to myself
He makes me fly without a wing
He makes a silent telephone ring
He writes a script I didn't choose
Walking in someone else's shoes
He builds a castle out of smoke
then breaks it like a private joke
No Deposit ... No Return
