Mirrors in the Sand (Remastered)

funk, Middle Eastern–inflected electro with oud lead over pulsing synths and shuffling hybrid percussion; male vocals in an incantation-like verse flow, Hypnotic groove builds into an explosive, chesty chorus with stacked hooks, sub-heavy drops, and wide, cinematic drums, Subtle reverbs and delays bloom on phrases, with brief instrumental fills that let the oud answer the vocal between sections, poetic, hypnotic, exhilarating, vocal

[Verse 1] You trace my name In the dust on your dashboard Sunburnt glass Cuts the sky into shards You laugh Say “Every map is a past life” Your eyes Full of unmapped stars Your hands talk fast Over plastic cups and rumors Spilling secrets On a roadside table You say “Forgive me For loving the impossible” I say “I tried I am still not able” [Pre-Chorus] Every mile A smaller truth Every truth A different room We keep walking through [Chorus] You are my mirror in the sand Breaking like water through my hands I hold on I hold on To what I can’t stand You are the riot in my lungs Thunder that trembles on my tongue I scream your name Your name ’till my voice comes undone (ohh) [Verse 2] We trade old scars Like currency at midnight On a cracked bench By the corner store You say “Love’s just A slow Bright landslide” I feel the ground Lean a little more Streetlight moths Circle vows we never finished You twist the ring You never really wore You say “I hate you For how you still exist in me” I say nothing And become the floor [Pre-Chorus] Every mile A smaller truth Every truth A different room We keep falling through [Chorus] You are my mirror in the sand Breaking like water through my hands I hold on I hold on To what I can’t stand You are the riot in my lungs Thunder that trembles on my tongue I scream your name Your name ’till my voice comes undone (hey!) [Bridge] Tell me When the morning hits Will you remember any of this? The cracked cup The spilled wish My shaking fist Or will you wash me from your skin Like smoke from clothes you slept in Gone in a breath Soft as a sin [Chorus] You are my mirror in the sand Breaking like water through my hands I hold on I hold on To what I can’t stand You are the riot in my lungs Thunder that trembles on my tongue I scream your name Your name ’till my voice comes undone ’till my shadow and your shadow Burn into one
