deep UK house, 124 BPM, A♯ minor, low-register piano stabs, rubbery donk bassline, sidechained kick, clipped clap pattern, shuffle hi-hats, distorted diva vocals, light autotune, plate reverb, tape saturation, vocal hook repeats, peak-time bounce, bittersweet longing, early 2000s club mix

Lyrics
Title: “Falling Through the Lights”
(Intro – filtered, distant)
Yeah…
Midnight calling…
Feel it breathing…
(Verse 1)
Cold air rising from the crowded floor
Your reflection in the mirror door
Eyes like neon, soft and blue
But they never really look at you
Donk bass rolling under my skin
Every pulse pulls me back in
You move slow but the world’s too fast
Like a moment that will never last
(Pre-Chorus)
I get lost in the way you fade
In the games that we never played
In the silence between the sound
You’re the high that won’t come down
(Chorus / Hook)
I’m falling through the lights tonight
Trying just to feel you one more time
Say my name in the undertone
But I’m dancing here alone
I’m falling through the lights again
Every beat brings me closer then—
You disappear when I get close
Just a ghost I wanted most
(Drop Hook – looped, saturated)
Don’t go… don’t go…
Stay inside the sound…
Don’t go… don’t go…
Don’t let me down…
(Verse 2)
Clap hits sharp like a broken truth
Every rhythm just reminds me of you
We rewind but it’s never right
Different faces, same old night
Autotune dripping from your lips
Half a lie in every kiss
You pull back when I lean in
Like we’re something that’s never been
(Pre-Chorus)
I get caught in your afterglow
In a place that I’ll never know
In the space where the echoes stay
You’re already miles away
(Chorus / Hook)
I’m falling through the lights tonight
Trying just to feel you one more time
Say my name in the undertone
But I’m dancing here alone
I’m falling through the lights again
Every beat brings me closer then—
You disappear when I get close
Just a ghost I wanted most
(Bridge – breakdown, washed out)
If I reach out in the dark
Will I find you where you are?
Or just touch the fading sound…
As it drags me underground
(Build)
Higher… higher…
But it never feels enough
Higher… higher…
Still I’m chasing your love
(Final Drop Hook – extended)
Don’t go… don’t go…
Stay inside the sound…
Don’t go… don’t go…
Don’t let me down…
(Outro)
Lights go down, but I remain
Dancing through the ghost of your name
And the bassline pulls me tight…
As I fall through the lights
