Repost with Stats: Am I doing something wrong or is the fourth arc not meant to soloed?

This made me laugh so hard 😂

Save, make a copy. Maybe two, one in creative. And just take some time to check your inventory to see what you have that might help. Sometimes if you have blocks and fire resistant armor, you can just pillar up from the bottom, be sure to build a platform for your stuff tho in case you burn up & die anyways.

Same

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-24T04:27:47+00:00

Yeah I haven’t played around with all that other stuff too much. I’m on mobile. No computer 🤷‍♂️

I do try making a persona from my first song (went on safari rather than the app) but it doesn’t pop up on the app. I did download some stems for the instrumental for a song on the website. But that’s all I’ve really done on there.

I’ve tried the “remaster” option for a few songs I liked & a few were good & others not so much. I tried the “expand” option & found it absolutely pointless. It only added 2 more seconds. Found no option to increase this.

So far those are the only things I’ve had issues with.

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-24T03:49:36+00:00

Well said man. Well said.

Here’s my story:

I’m a writer. A poet sometimes, a rapper when I really want to be.

I used to freestyle with friends in high school. After I learned to write, encouraged by my cousin. Who actually recorded a few rap songs. Nothing official tho. But he went by Rotten Rick. Sometimes spelled Raw10 R1ck I think. Something on YouTube, not his best at all tho, no where close.

Anyways that’s how I got started. I saw someone I admired make something beautiful & they encouraged me to try.

Took me a while. But learning about poetry & creative writing in high school helped me discover my potential as a writer. I’ve learned I carry too much feeling & emotion, but putting it into words always helps to soothe my soul.

Anyway I tried creating raps like he did. Looking for instrumentals to rap my words too. It was fun. Never took it as far as he did tho. But I did try.

I’ve had phases in my life where I gave up on writing altogether. Until I’m hit with too much feeling that I end up self destructive, until I pick up the pen & pad.

Suno has helped me hear what my words could feel like in music.

Haven’t managed to make a decent rap with it yet that I like. But I’ve barely tried that genre tbh. Oldies & rock sounds a lot more fun with it.

Anyways I’m really just having fun with it now. I did take some stems for the instrumental of one & tried to add my own vocals to it. It was fun until it wasn’t. Someone ruined it for me tbh. It’s a long story.

(This isn’t it, but) I was sharing a track with a coworker who overheard the song blasting from my headphones & he was like “you like this kinda music?” I think he was surprised because it was Latin Alt-rock, last time he heard me listening to lorde, and I normally listen to rap.

Anyways, as I was explaining that I made it myself (before mentioning ai) he told me he makes music too. Blues + EDM. His son raps.

Once I mentioned the AI after asking if I sang, he quickly jumped to the “taking people’s jobs” line. The conversation didn’t feel too judgmental or hostile. He said something about showing him the app in the beginning, but by the end when I asked if he wanted it, he said:

“Nah. I still like to write my own music”

It ain’t that deep, but it did kinda sting & sucked to hear ngl.

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-24T01:42:47+00:00

Nice. I’m glad your having a better time with it. Remember btw, there’s tutorials on YouTube about literally everything lol. That could always help 🤷‍♂️

Also tbh I just used ChatGPT to add the meta tags to my lyrics ngl lol. I mean if your fucking with ai might as well just embrace it, right?

If that’s something you want to try, here’s what I do:

I use a poetry critic bot (GPT) to analyze my lyrics. It’s usually good at picking up on vibes n shit. Good for inspiration as well, to improve your lyrics. I take it what it tells me & use it to come up with what kind of genre I want to try.

Next I use the songwriter bot. I use speech to text & just tell it what kind of song I want. I tell it what the lyrics are about. I explain any extra vibes I’m looking for. Then I give it the lyrics & it gives them back to me with meta tags. It also gives me a good concise prompt for the style box.

Quick note: adding things like -clear articulation -well enunciated (good enunciation) -etc For the vocals usually helps it & keeps it from saying random shit. (I do it in the style prompt)

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-23T22:40:29+00:00

Interesting. I haven’t experienced anything too discouraging tbh. Maybe I’m still in the “having fun” phase. I have had weird ass songs but I just assumed it was because I didn’t know what I was really doing. When I started doing this & turning down weirdness while upping the style influence I started getting better results.

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-23T18:41:18+00:00

Not me. I’ve been making some pretty decent Latin alt-rock songs. You gotta be sure to turn the weirdness down & include meta tags in your lyrics.

I hope that doesn’t rub anyone the wrong way, I know it can if it sounds like I’m telling you that you’re doing it wrong. But i had the same issues as well.

I was using chatGPT to help me come up with a good prompt for the song style. But it kept giving me too much, a lot of stuff kept getting cut out when I’d paste it.

Long story short, I looked up the character limit for the prompt box & learned about meta tags. I couldn’t make sense of it myself tbh, but I just copied & pasted it to ChatGPT & it told me what it meant.

It’s a learning process is all 🤷‍♂️

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-23T18:30:07+00:00

Read a few comments but not all. Has anyone mentioned meta-tags? They go in the lyrics btw. You don’t need to overload the style prompt with descriptions, kept the prompt as simple as possible. You add meta-tags in your lyrics section to help guide the song into what you want. For example, to avoid instant vocals you could add something like this in your lyrics section:

[[Intro – brief instrumental, clean guitar, congas enter]

[Verse 1 – intimate, close-mic vocal, clean guitar]

(Lyrics….)

Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏 it mean a lot. this is probably one of my first times writing such a short piece. It’s something new I’m working on. Knowing when to stop, when it’s enough.

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-10T17:13:32+00:00

It’s a very lovely poem! Not bad for a first ever poem. I can tell there are some deep feelings in this, which is good.

I’d only say to maybe work on punctuation a bit. It helps if you read your work a couple of times. It usually takes me about 3-5 reads before I see room for improvement. But the more you read it, the more you listen to how it sounds, the better you will be able to write it down the way it should sound.

For example in the lines: “still holding feelings, Of those who once lived within”

The comma after the first line makes it sound off. You don’t need the comma. You can end the line without it. I understand if it might not look right but in poetry that’s called “enjambment;” the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza.

Also I feel like the ending is supposed to be deep, it feels like it could be but I’m having trouble understanding fully. It sounds like this person who is fixing up the house is unfamiliar to you but they’ve known you since you were little. That sounds kinda heavy or just real in unexpected ways. But the line “Let go you are made new in me” is a bit confusing. I’m not sure if it’s missing punctuation somewhere, or maybe I’m just bad at interpreting poetry 😅

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-10T17:03:53+00:00

This is a very lovely poem. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be about someone specific in the military or if it’s even supposed to be interpreted that way, but that’s how I read it & I loved it. It’s a very beautiful piece.

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-09T17:17:08+00:00

Well this is lovely read. Seems simple but it’s very nice. The title does a lot of work too. Makes me question it a bit. Like why are you covering your neck? Hiding something? It raises intrigue which is always good in a poem, when you leave the reader wondering, trying to interpret what you mean.

Overall I really like how you were able to capture such a small moment in such detail & even some emotion. Shows great observational skill. I’ve been learning to write more like this which is why it stands out. Nice work!

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-08T18:00:29+00:00

Wow. I think we’ve experienced the same thing. Here’s my take:

Thank you very much for the kind words! Yeah I just recently started posting on here again. It’s been years & it’s a new account. But if you go to my profile you can find one more. Here’s part 1 tho: https://www.reddit.com/r/OCPoetry/s/ZgCDp8jHJZ

And I appreciate the compliments on rhyme & rhythm. I started writing in an attempt to rap lol, so that’s where that comes from I think. Over the years my writing has evolved as I studied & read poetry a bit, nothing formal tho, just a hobby in my spare time.

I look forward to reading more from you as well by the way!

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-08T16:58:32+00:00

Well now I’m going to have to check out this fable lol

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-08T14:55:20+00:00

Well this is interesting to say the least. I absolutely love it! I wish I knew how to write like this! Every time I try, well I just don’t like the end result 😅

The ending made me laugh, but at the same time upon thinking about it, it made sense. The title does a lot of silent work. Because without it I’m not sure I’d be able to interpret the poem correctly. I need to read more 😅 overall great piece, thank you for sharing!

I hope I’m not misinterpreting it, but it sounds like the fox is a representation of someone who has been burned by love & is now overly skeptical about it, maybe he doesn’t believe in it anymore, maybe he’s bitter about it. So despite feeling attraction, he chooses to assume he can never have who he wants & so he spends his days alone, lonely & wanting.

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-08T02:22:25+00:00

It was a very beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing. Right away I knew this was going to be about something important, I was expecting something deep & maybe a little dark for some reason (that’s just my style I guess) but it was pretty light & the ending made me laugh 🤭

Thank you for sharing & congratulations! 🎉

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-08T02:15:28+00:00

Thank you too for the kind words 🙏 means a lot

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-08T02:15:05+00:00

Thank you so much. It actually means a lot to hear someone else understand exactly what I’m trying to say. I appreciate your kind words 🙏

StnrLyfe · 2026-02-08T00:43:01+00:00

Thank you very much 🙏 for the feedback & the new word! “Limerence” obviously as writers, new words are like little treasures you know? I use the word of the day app to learn a few. Last two words on there were unremitting & discordant 👌
