I fed the lyrics from Genius into the Midjourney Discord bot. Each lyric would return 4 potential results. After choosing one I liked, I would upscale it for a higher-res and more detailed version, which I then used.
I used Adobe Premiere to put the video together.
Lyrics:
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here
