I tried to visualize the mysterious esoteric songtext of "The Riddle" by Nik Kershaw. The results are bizarre.

When I fed Craiyon the whole text, I get isometric RPG gaming stuff.

This is the hole in the ground.

So let's ask for individual parts of the song.

Here it focusses on "I got two strong arms", resulting in eerie bodybuilder guys, some with child. (Does AI associate Babylon with baby?)

The refrain with tree by the river and the wise man results in nice B/W drawings with trees and uncanny mans.

The lightning texture on this tree looks strange.

So let's try it as oil paintings...

The next part with night and fighting leads again to gaming pictures.

The part with valentine, song and gasoline does more interesting things, including rockbands and anime style (inspired by Gorillaz?).

valentine...

seasons of gasoline...

...and gold.

The part with "time to kill" surprisingly depicts no gaming but focusses on the blackbird & bluebird and musicians.

I love that song by Nik Kershaw

Some crazy results there , couple really good ones too. I have noticed with long text searches , if you begin with the thing your looking for , but also have a particular "sub thing" in the middle it completely disregards your initial searches in favor of the sub thing.
