## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS
I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.
## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM
Down Goes the Hammer moves through a playful landscape of Eden, magic, Alice, fairies and golden dreams, while quieter tensions stir beneath its fantastical surface. Through wordplay, shifting identities and veiled allusions, the poem explores the boundaries drawn around thought, expression, belonging and possession—and the ways we preserve an inner freedom when the world seeks to define its limits. When the hammer finally falls, the journey continues: precarious and painful perhaps, but still carrying hope across the thin ice.
Contrive me With thoughts of Eden We frolic In gardens Of our own twined creation Mind’s alienation
[Verse] Contrive me with thoughts of Eden We frolic carefree in gardens made of our own twined creation to deter Mind’s alienation
[Verse] Conjure me through work of magic Build our bodies shrines ecstatic Playful lines said in Candlelight Fill me up with the soul’s delight
[Verse] Contour me, read my forms like braille Let your hair down, have Thoughts derail I will be your most favoured clown Play pantomime’s spree, string me down
[Verse] Demure me, I bow down quite low In me pale Alice speaks so slow Of once strong, now fading rabbit My Demeanour a Meek habit
Down goes the hammer
[Verse] Endure me, I have words and puns From pamphlets locked in pink-clad suns How they sink, oh my how they sink, disappear in forgotten ink
[Verse] Inure me, build my heart’s chambers Marble halls filled dance of flowers for fairies to prance with spring’s walls Emotion of the wild that calls
[Verse] Secure me a shoulder’s warm strength Of age-old stories show me length Woven in the sun-kissed threads gleam of lost golden fleece hidden dream
[Verse] Tenure me, nothing has a price Tag I’m it, you can say it thrice Ownership old, all is for rent Down goes the hammer, my life spent
[Verse] Whole nine yards, excruciating Siren’s wake, the legs fake, shaking The thin needles speak agony walking on thin ice, hope carry
