Lyrics:

I see your face in a burning mirror
You make it so clear
You make it so clear

That I will never make it past the fear
I'm burning up here
I sense a crash near

I pull the trigger on us both, my dear
Before we die here
Let's kill our fear

So say goodbye to all your tears
This makes it so clear
This makes it so clear

That we can jump into space (Get higher get higher)
We can burn this place (Set fire set fire)
We can let, let, let, let, let, let ,let ,let go!

Troubles are in the rearview mirror
Which makes it so clear
Makes it so clear

Bring on life because hell is near
We go to hell dear
We go to hell dear

So, drop the beat and the bass in my ear
That's what I wanna hear
Yea we've killed our fear

Save the commentary for the electric chairs
This makes it so clear
This makes it so clear

That we can jump into space (Get higher get higher)
We can burn this place (Set fire set fire)
We can let, let, let, let, let, let ,let ,let go!

Music: The song begins with a relatively simple electronic sounding bass riff. Funk style synthesized drumming comes in as Nick begins to sing the verse in a southern, rather raspy and agressive fashion. The very catchy verse will have you humming along after just one listen. Just before the chorus there is the a breakdown on the keytar in which a note is played that aggressively has a slight pitch change back and forth forth, just like you would get from a bend on guitar, but much crisper. During the chorus the bass and drums are switched up to dramatize that the chorus is the center of the song. The bass drum sound plays quickly on the last line of the chorus. They are joined by a flanging electronic sounding keytar lick. The drums and bass fade out after the second chorus and the keytar continues first quiet but then louder and louder until it is fully blasted in a climax of noise when joined on the loudest note by symbol crashes and a saxophone before the final chorus.

B-Side: Setting a Fire (Unplugged Version)
The b-side is a fully remixed version of the song. It begins with the opening bass melody, except it is played on the piano several octaves higher and accompanied by chords. The vocals are cleaner and calmer. There is a very subtle use of bongo drumming. Instead of the keytar breakdown a violin is used to achieve the same type of quick pitch adjustments. The chorus is played slightly slower so that Nick can sing what the backing vocalists normally would. He sets the last notes in the words “higher” and “fire” up an octave to achieve a note that ensures this b-side will not be overlooked by even the most stuck up music connoisseurs. The bridge is played on both piano and violin. Slowly a saxophone joins in and gets louder until it along with the other instruments are on full volume for the climactic note.

Background:
Although Nick Palmer has been missing for several days, before his disappearance he was able to jot down a few words about the single.
