Through the Looking Glass

Structure & Voice Guide

Step through the glass, the shadows crawl (whispered, slight echo)

Whispers echo, hear the dolls call (ghostly echoes between words)

Twisted smiles behind the frames (slow, suspenseful delivery)

Time is broken, nothing stays the same (slight crescendo at end)

Reflections move when no one’s there (reverb-heavy, haunting tone)

Eyes in the corners, hands in the air (dramatic pause after “corners”)

The walls are breathing, the floor may scream (soft whispered echoes between words)

We walk the nightmare, we own the dream (crescendo, prepare for chorus)

Through the looking glass, the dark is near (all voices harmonized in 3 parts)

But we won’t vanish, we won’t fear (harmonize each “won’t” in different octaves)

Every shadow, every scar (short pause between “shadow” and “scar” for effect)

Can’t define us, we’ve come this far (strong together, lead into Verse 2)

Red queen whispers, white queen moans (light creepy laughter and whispers between words)

We tiptoe through the haunted thrones (echo footsteps, subtle background beat)

We are alive where their illusion dies *(crescendo, whisper “dies”) *

Footsteps echo in the hollow hall (V1 & V2 alternate lines, deep echo on “hall”)

[Chorus – All] (same as before, harmonies reinforced)

Mirror cracks, we grin in fright (short eerie laughs, exaggerated echo)

The night is ours, the world’s upside right (intense delivery, dramatic pause at end)

Chains of control shatter in our hands (soft glass-breaking sound effects in background)

We walk the glass, we make our stand (strong finish, lead to final chorus)
