[Intro]
Urban Mirage.
Concrete jungle.
Neon shadows.
Everything you see... is it real?
[Verse 1 - Male Rap]
Midnight on the pavement, the city is a blur
Engine is idling, I’m waiting for the stir
Neon lights flickering, a glitch in the frame
I’m looking for a stranger, I’m forgetting my name
Tall glass towers reaching up to the smoke
Is it all a vision? Is it all just a joke?
I’m chasing down a shadow that’s running through the rain
A flicker of a feeling inside of my brain.
[Pre-Chorus - Female Vocals]
Streetlight rhythm, heartbeat sync
Standing on the edge, on the jagged brink
The reflection is lying, the image is fake
How much more of this dream can I take?
[Chorus - Female Vocals]
Urban mirage, burning in the night
Chasing the ghosts beneath the city light
It’s a beautiful lie, a vision in the glass
Watching the lonely shadows as they pass
Urban mirage, I’m lost in the glow
Where the streets end, only the sirens know!
[Verse 2 - Male Rap]
Asphalt heat and the digital hum
I’m hearing the rhythm, I’m beating the drum
Every corner turns into a brand new scene
Searching for a truth in the space in between
High-rise echoes and the subway breeze
I’m falling through the cracks with the greatest of ease
It’s a hologram, baby, a trick of the eye
But I’ll keep on dancing until the day I die!
[Bridge]
(Beat drops to a minimal, pulsing electronic bass)
Look left.
Look right.
It’s disappearing.
(Fast, tense synth-arp build)
It’s only a mirage...
FADE!
[Chorus - Female Vocals]
Urban mirage, burning in the night
Chasing the ghosts beneath the city light
It’s a beautiful lie, a vision in the glass
Watching the lonely shadows as they pass
Urban mirage, I’m lost in the glow
Where the streets end, only the sirens know!
[Extended Chorus - Male and Female Duet Vocals]
Urban mirage, burning in the night (burning in the night)
Chasing the ghosts beneath the city light (city light)
It’s a beautiful lie, a vision in the glass
Watching the lonely shadows as they pass
Urban mirage, I’m lost in the glow (lost in the glow)
Where the streets end, only the sirens know!
[Spoken Outro]
Urban...
Mirage...
