Wav-Legion Music Project
Sleight of Hand is one of the most layered and theatrical songs from the Wav Legion project, our 6th full-length release, produced by the brilliant Canadian musician and creative partner Wav-Dr.
This song is a genre-defying fusion of playful electro-pop, poetic hip-hop, and explosive rock, embodying both childhood wonder and shadow confrontation. It begins with a mischievous, vocal tease and evolves into a heartfelt chant of defiance and awakening.
The message at the heart of this track is simple but deep:
We are not broken. We are not what others have tried to convince us we are.
Every voice telling us we aren't enough—every system trying to brainwash our uniqueness out of us—is the real illusion.
The Sleight of Hand video is a surreal and symbolic journey through self-confrontation and cosmic awareness, styled in fusions of whimsy and metaphysical imagery. It tells the story of “Good side” and “Bad side” confronting their shadow selves in a strange mirror-world filled with tarot, twisted joker like presidents, and psychedelic diners in space.
This project was created in collaboration with ChatGPT and Sora, two incredible AI tools that helped bring the concept, visuals, and character world to life. While some of the imagery may be imperfect or dreamlike, I’ve found the quirks and glitches actually enhance the abstract meaning and tone of the song. It’s a co-creation between human soul and digital mind—and I’m proud of how it all came together.
Thank you for being here and diving into this strange little universe with me.

🎵 LYRICS:
Sleight of hand
I'm misdirecting every thought inside your head
I'll commandeer your conscious so I can pretend
You're following the colors but
The lights, they blend
Collectify humanity
Sleight of hand
We're following the magic that's inside the pen
Written in the papers, see we all can mend
Selling all the fiction so that we can lend
Something to humanity
I've written it down a thousand times
In all these rhymes, a thousand times
I've said it all out a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
You can't mess with perfection
And that's what you are
You can't take away the light that glows
It's a trillion miles to the nearest star
You can't take away uniqueness
'Cause that's how you do
No person in life ever been here twice
Right now is the chance to be you
So you can't sit down and be brainwashed
They're inside your head
Every negative thought about yourself
That somebody out there said
Oh throw it all out the window
And do what you do
'Cause nobody else can do it the same
'Cause nobody out there's you
Now we can all live together
It's gonna be just fine
It's a trillion miles to the nearest star
May we all get a chance to shine
[Outro]
Go on, take your negative thoughts, negative thoughts
Go on, take your negative thoughts, your negative thoughts

The video is freaky. I'm really not sure where all this 'AI' stuff is heading, but humans are still more creative. The song is great though.

what i did here, is got into chat gpt and wrote out the lyrics and told it I wanted to do something really out of the box and strange, as the song itself is kinda peculiar and strange, I came up with this plot about confronting the different sides of myself, a dark vs light, good vs bad. it came out with a story plan for me and I adjusted it best i could to fit, kinda keeping the quirky things as a true collaboration with AI best as I could get it at my skill level, it would create me a series of images and i would adjust them with movements inside sora which is part of chatgpt, then i would sequence on my own the images inside sony vegas, so it is a true collaboration, my creativity mixing with ai's current level of creativity and direction, im 100% sure my promptings and inputs to ai could be improved, will be interesting to see how these ai human collaborations develop. im on board to trying it out.
