lirik lagu james cook - cubic zirconia
intro (musical)
· a warm, slightly melancholic fender rhodes or wurlitzer electric piano melody
· a crisp, finger~snap and tight hi~hat rhythm establishes the groove
· a single, reverbed vocal ad~lib: “shinin’…”
2. verse 1
(setting the scene of infatuation)
saw you across a crowded room, champagne bubbles in the gloom /
you caught every eye, a perfect satellite, reflecting borrowed light /
i traced your constellation, built my heart’s foundation /
on the sparklе in your smile, never thinking for a whilе… it might be…
3. pre~chorus
(the doubt begins to creep in)
but something in the glow felt… temperature low /
a perfect, steady beam, no fl!cker, no real dream /
too flawless to be true, the one i thought i knew…
4. chorus
(the central, anthemic confession of the metaphor)
yeah, you’re my cubic zirconia /
shinin’ so bright, but it’s just fake light /
i paid a diamond price, for a paradise /
that was manufactured ice, in the dead of night /
cubic zirconia… had me blind
(end with a vocal run on “blind”)
5. verse 2
(realization and sharper observation)
now i see the cut was cheap, the promises you couldn’t keep /
just a master of disguise, halogen in human eyes /
no fire from within, just a plastic, pretty skin /
and the love i thought we made, was just a show, a masquerade…
6. bridge
(the emotional core and turning point)
i wanted carbon under pressure, something time could not measure /
a soul that’s been through the heat, a love that couldn’t be beat /
but you’re just glass with a story, fading all your former glory…
and i… i’m finally turning off the light
(music drops to near silence on the last line, maybe just a held piano chord.)
7. final chorus & outro
· chorus repeats with more ad~libs and emotional intensity
· outro: music fades with the core loop, ending on a final, resigned line:
“just fake light… mmm… my diamond was fake.”
