I had goosebumps, honestly my eyes were tearing up, the lyrics were so well written and even though the voices were computer generated they were able to give that emotion of "Can I ever feel things, the way that they do?" perfectly. I love this so much, it's brilliant! Great job sir!

Description
Their name is Camellio the Infinite, a name from derived from the flower camellia, which symbolizes perfection. Despite the idea of perfection in a robot, Camellio believes that his lack of ability to be human makes them flawed, because in theory a machine's 'perfection' would be 'imperfection,' because they're made to be precise, not natural
The song 'Infinite' is the melancholy of Camellio, an machine who wants to be human. Even though he doesn't have the ability to dream, he wonders if a simple wish upon a star would grant him his wish.
In the song you can hear him counting stars in the background as he ponders the difference between being human and a machine.
I wish I could have been more detailed and balanced the music better but I did everything in 36 hours so things might be a little sloppy, but thanks for listening anyways~
Message from the artist:
Here are the lyrics to the song 'Infinite'
✨INFINITE✨
(counting)
I can count all the seconds
minutes, nights and days
Every tick that signifies
the measurement of change
Humans can't keep track of time like I do
I can count all the stars
that gently light the sky
It doesn't matter the time
whether day or night
Humans can't count as many stars as I do
But sometimes humans feel love, feel pain, and conjure dreams
A wide range of many sensations with more in between
Even though in design imperfections were made outlawed in concept
I might be the one who's flawed
Can I ever feel things, the way that they do?
If I wished upon a star~ would it come true
Or do I need a heart for my dreams to come though
Do I actually want or am I programed to want
Can I make a wish, a wish like humans do?
Are these thoughts I have just a cog that turns my wheel
Do these strings of value tell me how to feel
Are these doubts of my existence even real
Or are these merely codes programed under the steel
How I'd wish to have a heartbeat and a soul
Not confined by chips, plugs, or remote controls
Maybe then I'd know the meaning, the feeling to be whole
To be Human, man, I guess I'll never know
Can I ever feel things, the way that they do?
huh
I guess I'll never know
(it's infinite, it's infinite, it's infinite, it's infinite,
there is no end, there is no end, it's infinite....)
Theme:
Wish upon a star
How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack is about a machine that wants to make a wish to be human. Along with the counting of stars happening in the background of the music, I tried to make a little twinkle melody to represent twinkling stars in the sky :D
