[Style: Gothic organ chords layered over minimal club beats and distorted synth stabs]
[Mood: Darkly playful, mischievous, seductive but not explicit]
[Tempo: 124 BPM hypnotic pulse]
[Key: D minor with harmonic minor tension]
[Leitmotif: Short three-note hook that repeats and transforms]
[Intro]
[Sustained cathedral organ in low register]
[Filtered kick entering softly in 4/4]
[Whispered background harmonies, airy and distant]
[Distorted synth stab echoes faintly every four bars]
[Verse 1]
She flits through the rafters of a midnight hall,
Tiny shadow dancing on the chapel wall,
Silver laughter in the candlelight,
Little wings that shimmer out of sight.
Steals the ink from a poet’s page,
Switches crowns on a gilded stage,
Leaves a trail of glitter and a grin,
Trouble always following her in.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Hi-hats tighten, subtle bass pulse grows]
[Organ climbs one inversion higher]
You can feel her in the velvet air,
Cold as moonlight in your hair,
Promise sweet as sugared wine—
Then she’s gone before the chime.
[Chorus]
[Full organ chords, heavy and dramatic]
[Distorted synth stabs syncopated between vocal lines]
Oh, naughty fairy, spark and spark,
Dancing in the cathedral dark,
Laughing as the candles sway,
Stealing every soul away.
Naughty fairy, quick and sly,
Glitter burning in her eye,
Whispers soft then disappears,
Leaving mischief, leaving fears.
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ riff states main motif]
[Stabs more aggressive, gated reverb tail]
[Kick and sub driving steadily]
[Verse 2]
Switches wine for something strange,
Shifts the mirrors, bends the frame,
Knots the ribbons in your hair,
Leaves a secret hanging there.
Tiny footprints in the dust,
Tempting hearts to play or trust,
Every rule she loves to bend,
Never foe and never friend.
[Build]
[Tempo feels more urgent]
[Stabs layered thicker]
[Organ chords descend dramatically]
Hear the flutter, feel the spark,
See her flicker through the dark,
Sweet as sin and twice as fast,
Never future, never past.
[Chaos Chorus]
[Full beat, distorted stabs rapid and sharp]
[Organ stacked in octaves]
Oh, naughty fairy, flame and frost,
Count the little things you’ve lost,
Keys and kisses, crowns and names,
All consumed in silver flames.
Naughty fairy, bold and bright,
Queen of shadows, thief of light,
Laughing as the rafters shake,
Every vow she loves to break.
[Breakdown]
[Drums drop out]
[Single organ chord sustained]
[Soft layered vocal harmonies]
[Final Section]
[Beat returns minimal]
[Organ plays slower version of motif]
Naughty fairy, drifting high,
Ash and glitter in the sky,
If you feel her, hold on tight—
She’ll be gone before first light.
[End on unresolved minor chord, long cathedral reverb fade]
