"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
