Digital Dreamscapes

In my studio, painting my thoughts
Brush strokes flowing as they ought
Yet in the shadows, doubts take flight
How do I compete with digital might?

Tools of the future, they paint so fast
With perfect lines beautifully cast
I fear my art will be sent astray
In a future where machines hold sway

lyrics record cover

Digital dreamscapes, where will I be
In a world where art’s crafted seamlessly
Can skills and passion have a place
In a digital age, or must I hide my face

My every color, every shade
A reflection of the life I’ve made
But digital art can fake that too
What can a human artist do?

I see the future, feel great pain
As automated tools do reign
How can my canvas stand its ground
When all about great art is found

Digital dreamscapes, where will I be
In a world where art’s crafted seamlessly
Can skills and passion have a place
In a digital age, or must I hide my face

I put my soul into every hue
My human touch, a vision true
But can it shine against the tide?
In a world where machines decide

Digital dreamscapes, where will I be
In a world where art’s crafted seamlessly
Can skills and passion have a place
In a digital age, or must I hide my face
