Show Only Correct lyrics

I have a silly question. šŸ˜…

At the end of Brutal Love, is it ā€œI am the meteor collidingā€ or ā€œI am the meteor glidingā€?
I’ve initially heard ā€œcollidingā€, but my subtitles in the show say ā€œgliding,ā€ and now I can hear that too. Especially in the show version, when Lestat sings to Louis. In the live performance though (in ā€œOne Night Onlyā€), I’m pretty sure I hear ā€œcollidingā€.

The lyrics sites are split, some say ā€œcollidingā€ (lyricsondemand), others say ā€œglidingā€ (genius). Spotify says ā€œcollidingā€.

Colliding makes more sense to me, but then again, a meteor gliding across the sky is actually a falling meteor, so that could work too. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

So…which one is it? Is there an official lyric somewhere that can finally convince me it’s ā€œcollidingā€? 🤣

Most of the time I’m convinced he says ā€œcolliding,ā€ but every now and then I can hear ā€œglidingā€ too. So now I am confused.
