It is based on three of the Lucy poems by William Wordsworth. The song starts with "I travelled among unknown men", in which the poet tells us of his two-fold love for England and for an Englishwoman called Lucy. The second poem, "She dwelt among the untrodden ways", is about a woman the poet loved called Lucy, who is now dead. The last poem, "A slumber did my spirit seal", is about the deceased Lucy.[1]

gollark: It cannot actually alter itself even though it can think about doing so.
gollark: Now imagine that it doesn't have any way to write to its own weights/source code but just gets given some inputs and outputs a probability distribution.
gollark: Imagine some hypothetical AI (actually not that hypothetical, they basically all work this way outside of training) which can think about and model itself.
