Mirror Mirror

Lyrics
[Intro - rolling liquid DnB breaks, ethereal female whispers with reverb, subtle vinyl scratches fading in]
Shattered glass... echoes in the dark...
Mirror mirror... who am I now?
[Verse 1 - smooth liquid pads, chopped female vocals with light reverb, rolling hi-hats at 170BPM]
Staring at the cracks in my reflection,
Faded smiles from a life I can't reclaim.
Every shadow whispers my confessions,
Lost in the haze, drowning in the rain.
Pieces of me scattered on the floor,
Picking them up, but they cut even more.
[Buildup - tension rising synth risers, accelerating snares, layered vocal echoes, vinyl scratch stutters]
Falling deeper... can't look away...
Mirror mirror... show me the pain...
[Drop 1 - massive dubstep wobble bass, gritty liquid DnB neuro snares, hard half-time drop, distorted female vocals with vocoder]
Mirror mirror on the wall!
Crack me open, watch me fall!
Echoes screaming through the night,
Self-reflection, lost in fight!
Wub-wub tear it all apart!
Broken heart, restart, depart!
Mirror mirror, lie to me!
Who the hell am I supposed to be?!
[Verse 2 - downtempo liquid grooves, melancholic piano chords under DnB percussion, breathy vulnerable female vocals]
Tears trace lines down this fragile face,
Memories haunt like ghosts in empty space.
Chasing the girl I used to know,
But she's gone, vanished in the undertow.
Vinyl spins the records of regret,
Scratching the surface, but I can't forget.
[Buildup - warped synth swells, filtered vocal chops, intense snare rolls, heavy vinyl scratching breakdown]
Deeper now... breaking through...
Mirror mirror... tell the truth...
[Drop 2 - filthier dubstep drop, sidechained supersaw stabs, aggressive 808 growls, pitched-down female screams with ad-libs]
Mirror mirror, shatter the lies!
Rip the veil from these tired eyes!
Bass hits hard like the weight I carry,
Self-destruct in this endless quarry!
Wobble and tear, feel the drop ignite!
Reflection's curse in the dead of night!
Mirror mirror, set me free!
Or bury me in what I see!
[Bridge - stripped liquid atmospheres, solo female vocal with echo delays, subtle vinyl crackle, slowing tempo]
What if the monster staring back is me?
No more hiding, just the raw debris...
One last breath before the final break...
[Outro - fading DnB tails, reverb-drenched whispers, dissolving wobble echoes, final vinyl scratch slowdown]
Mirror mirror... fading out...
Shattered now... without a doubt...
Gone...
