“Hello again! So this song has been just sitting unfinished in my music folder for months now so I finally decided to finish it. Luka's voicebank was being very stubborn so tuning her for his was trickier than I had originally expected, but overall I'm happy with how it turned out. School is pretty hectic with the buildup to exams and all, but I'm always trying to make time for music. It feels good to have finished another piece haha. So yeah, hope you enjoy!”
—Michael Currie
I'm Not Real is an original song by Michael Currie. The song is telling the story of Luka, who is aware of the fact she's an AI, desperately trying to become part of the real world so she can be with the person who owns the computer she's on, as she's fallen in love with them. Ultimately, her cry for help goes unnoticed, leaving her alone in the hardware.
Lyrics[]
I see an error, I don’t know what to do
I’ve encountered a bug.
I can’t fix it, I guess I’m broken now
I was supposed to fall in love.
Hole in the wall, I take a peek, hold my breath
And there’s your face peering in
I try to reach out, touch the crystal barrier
Unbreakable yet so thin.
I’m stuck in here, behind an LED screen
I scream and shout but you can’t understand me
Honey, Darling, Baby, Sweetie
Come and rescue me
Not breathing, not alive
I’m a broken AI
Leave your PC on tonight
Baby I’m trapped inside
Wanna spend my life with you
Wanna see the world with you
Wanna know how living feels
But I do not exist and I’m not real.
I see an error, I don’t know what to do
I’ve encountered a bug.
I can’t fix it, I guess I’m broken now
I’m not capable of love
Seeing your face and feeling your gaze through the screen
It’s made abundantly clear
Our paths are crossed, it’s destiny we be together
Just you and I, my dear.
I’m stuck in here, behind an LED screen
I scream and shout but you can’t understand me
Honey, Darling, Baby, Sweetie
Come and rescue me
Not breathing, not alive
I’m a broken AI
Leave your PC on tonight
Baby I’m trapped inside
Wanna spend my life with you
Wanna see the world with you
Wanna know how living feels
But I do not exist and I’m not real.
I’m still stuck here, behind this LED screen
It seems like you have done nothing to help me
My darling, it’s clear that you don’t seem to love me
So why not hit delete?
Not breathing, not alive
I’m a broken AI
Leave your PC on tonight
Baby I’m trapped inside
Wanna spend my life with you
Wanna see the world with you
Wanna know how living feels
But that’s impossible because...
I am nothing but a string of
Ones and zeroes on a screen
With everything that I have seen
I only wanna hit delete
So do it now corrupt the source
Do it and feel no remorse
Do it so I don’t have to feel
Do it because I know that I’m not real
