No Reflection [Intro — delicate music-box melody, soft heartbeat kick, whispered vocal fragments drifting through a dark room] [Verse 1] They say I look adorable They say my eyes are bright They say my little vampire cape Looks perfect in the night I fix my hair by memory I straighten out my bow Then someone says, “You look so cute” And I just say, “How do you know?” [Pre-Chorus — bass enters, tiny bell accents] I trust you I really do But there’s one little thing I can’t do [Chorus — playful dark-pop groove, bouncy bass, sparkling synths] No reflection Not a trace I can’t see my own face No reflection So I guess I’ll believe you when you say I’m cute No reflection Silver glass Just an empty space where I should pass No reflection What a shame I’ll take your word I’m cute today [Verse 2 — groove becomes warmer, playful guitar stabs] I tried a little mirror once It didn't tell me why I waved my hand in front of it It didn't wave goodbye I bought a shiny spoon I checked a window too A puddle only showed the moon So I asked a friend, “Do I look cool?” [Pre-Chorus — backing vocals answer each line] “Very cute.” “Really cute.” “Extremely cute.” “Absolutely cute.” [Chorus — bigger drums, playful vocal harmonies] No reflection Not a trace I can’t see my own face No reflection So I guess I’ll believe you when you say I’m cute No reflection Silver glass Just an empty space where I should pass No reflection What a shame I’ll take your word I’m cute today [Bridge — music drops to bass pulse, music box, distant choir] Maybe I’m adorable Maybe I’m a mess Maybe my hair is upside down I wouldn't have a guess “Your cape looks great!” “My eyes look bright!” “My little fangs are very nice!” Okay... I trust you. [Break — sudden silence, one tiny bell] But if you're lying... [Whispered backing vocals] She'll never know. [Final Chorus — euphoric gothic dance-pop, layered harmonies, playful synth arpeggios] No reflection Not a trace Still can't see my own face No reflection But I smile Maybe I look cute by quite a lot No reflection That's okay Someone else can check for me today No reflection Night is young I'll take your word And have some fun [Outro — music box returns, soft laugh] Do I look cute? [Whispered response] Very cute. Really? [Whispered response] Very, very cute. Oh. Good. [Final tiny bell, fade]
