Mirage

Mirage (Original Mix)
Mirage is the sixth track on We Are Monsters. It opens with a rising synth over a clap-driven drum pattern, then switches into a kicking drum pattern over a repeating synth line. The most notable feature is the long, extended vocals accompanying certain lyrics. What seems to be an effected guitar joins in with a snare, both of which stop for the proper verse. They join back in halfway through the verse. The chorus contains different synths, but essentially the same drum pattern with claps added. The second verse adds a new synth, and a calmer breakdown. The next chorus has more pronounced synths. Different elements of the track come and go until it draws to a calm conclusion. A small portion of ambiance from Act II is present at the end.

Mirage (CryoshoK Remix)
This remix by CryoshoK was released as a bonus track on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. It features heavy pitch-shifting.

Lyrics
Go ahead, expect my best I guess I'm perfect and I'm never gonna break you down So this is it And all I could It's just not good enough and No way I could ever know how Take it all on myself You know I need it now What you thought you had was Never really me at all Ah-All It's just a mirage Everything I've said Means nothing at all Your closest friend was somebody else Who got too lost Now I see through all your pretty lies Where everything is fine Now that I've opened my eyes You killed all of my sense You think that makes you great You're not the first who thought They had me down and Set my fate Well let me tell you now This shell is strong as steel There's no way, there's no how I could ever feel You are everything I hate When I realize You're empty cold and fake Now that I've opened my eyes You are everything I hate When I realize You're empty cold and fake Now that I've opened my eyes

Trivia

 * CryoshoK's remix became somewhat of a joke among the Groundbreaking community due to the pitch-shifting vocals (also known as 'chipmunking'), something he made light of with the tags of his Standoff remix- he added a chipmunk emoji as a joke of sorts.
