AI Lyrics – Alec Benjamin

[Verse 1]
Alec begins by describing the pain of being abandoned by someone he cares for. The person leaves a party with someone else, which causes Alec’s emotions to spiral downward. He drinks alcohol in an attempt to numb the emotional pain, highlighting how powerless he feels in this situation. This verse sets the tone of emotional despair and confusion.

[Verse 2]
Later in the night, as Alec is on his way home, the person calls him, asking him to come over. He is conflicted, needing closure for the pain she caused him, but she insists on him coming alone. This demonstrates the lack of emotional resolution she offers, reinforcing the theme of her cold and distant behavior, leaving Alec struggling to understand her actions.

[Chorus]
Alec uses the comparison of "AI" to describe how emotionally unavailable she is. She never cries or shows vulnerability, and her eyes seem empty, like those of a machine. The metaphor of "hollow and blue" eyes emphasizes her lack of warmth and genuine emotion. Alec feels he cannot connect with her, as if she’s programmed, artificial inside, and incapable of real feelings.

[Verse 3]
In this verse, Alec confronts her about the party, where she claims she wasn’t thinking clearly. Despite her apology, Alec presses her to define their relationship, to which she replies with indifference, saying they are "nothing." This cold response reflects her emotional detachment, deepening Alec’s sense of futility in the relationship.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the metaphor of "AI" and how she doesn't show any real emotion. She tells Alec that she loves him, but he knows it’s not genuine. The hollowness in her responses and her robotic, unfeeling nature further alienate Alec, making him feel worthless and disconnected.

[Bridge]
Alec admits that despite knowing she doesn't love him, he is emotionally stuck and unable to let go. Her control over him is hypnotic, and he feels paralyzed, unable to break free from her hold, even though he understands the relationship is toxic and devoid of real emotion.

[Chorus]
In the final chorus, Alec repeats the core message of the song, emphasizing how she remains emotionally cold and distant. He recognizes that her love isn’t real, but the emotional connection he longs for is something she cannot give. The repetition of "AI, artificial inside" drives home the point that her behavior is mechanical and unfeeling, leaving Alec trapped in an emotionally one-sided relationship.
