“Fire in the Mirror” [Verse 1 — Female, sultry talk-sing] Step into the mirror, Shadows on my skin. Dancing with the silence, Let the chaos in. [Male backing — low, spoken aside] “Closer… closer… don’t hide.” [Pre-Chorus — Female, rising tension] Mirror, mirror — break the frame (mirror…) Every heartbeat feeds the flame (flame…) Ghost notes falling, lights collide, I can’t run, I can’t decide. [Chorus — Gang vocals, wide LCR] Fire, fire! (set me higher!) Burning bright, we cross the wire. Fire, fire! (take me higher!) Every kiss becomes desire. [Verse 2 — Female lead, sharper rhythm] Clap against the night sky, Jagged edges glow. Guitar stabs are bleeding, Tell me yes or no. [Male backing — baritone double] “Say it… say it… ignite.” [Pre-Chorus] Mirror, mirror — break the frame (mirror…) Every heartbeat feeds the flame (flame…) Ghost notes falling, lights collide, I can’t run, I can’t decide. [Chorus — Full band, open hats, widened pads] Fire, fire! (set me higher!) Burning bright, we cross the wire. Fire, fire! (take me higher!) Every kiss becomes desire. [Bridge — Breakdown: kick + sub + toms] [Call/Response Ad-libs] (Female) “Do you want it?” (Male) “I can’t deny.” (Female) “Will you feel it?” (Male) “Till we die.” Together: Fire… fire… [Final Chorus — Double length, octave lift] Fire, fire! (set me higher!) Burning bright, we cross the wire. Fire, fire! (take me higher!) Every kiss becomes desire. Fire, fire! (never tire!) Turn the night into a choir. [Outro — Arp sparkle + ride cymbal wash] [Female whisper] In the mirror… I’m alive.
