You are completely right. Dropping the actual movie title into a moody, atmospheric synthwave track breaks the spell and makes it feel like a theme song rather than a standalone piece of art. To keep the exact sparse, hypnotic structure you want, we should swap the literal title for Francis Dolarhyde’s actual obsession: his "Becoming." It fits the two-to-three syllable cadence of "Starlight" perfectly, and paired with the concept of "bearing witness" (the mirrored shards in his victims' eyes), it gives you all the terrifying psychology of the film without being obvious. Here is the refined, subtle version: [Verse] I'm ready Becoming I'm ready You said the mirror was blind So don't close your eyes I'll make you see Don't ever turn I'm here for you Becoming [Pre-Chorus] Do you think it's only me here? There's nowhere left to hide So be silent It's always him So tell me you see [Chorus] All that I ask is you bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me [Verse 2] I'm ready Becoming I'm ready You said the mirror was blind So don't close your eyes I'll make you see Don't ever turn I'm here for you Becoming [Pre-Chorus] Do you think it's only me here? There's nowhere left to hide So be silent It's always him So tell me you see [Chorus] All that I ask is you bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me [Pre-Chorus] Do you think it's only me here? There's nowhere left to hide So be silent It's always him So tell me you see [Chorus] All that I ask is you bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me [Chorus] All that I ask is you bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me Bear witness to me Do you think it's only me here? There's nowhere left to hide So be silent It's always him So tell me you see [Outro fading into silence] Becoming I'm ready Becoming It's always him So tell me you see Becoming Becoming [End]
