Mirrors
Natalia Kills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shut your mouth and close the door
I wanna, watch you while you take it off
I'm gonna, take a blindfold put it on
And then I drop the letter to the floor
I said shut up!

Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!

My styletto on your neck
Until i, tie your hands above the bed,
You've got to, but boy don't pull the trigger yet
Nanana, I haven't reloaded the clip
No matter

Squeeze, hot, hold that pose
You know I like it do it sweetheart, I'm the boss
I'll let you get close to it
I'm gonna make tonight a show
Oh oh
I'll make your love grenade explode, nanana

Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!

Sex, love, control, vanity
Sex, love, control, vanity
Sex, love, control, vanity
(And the mirrors gonna fall tonight)
Sex, love, control, vanity
(And the mirrors gonna fall tonight)
Sex, love, control, vanity
(And the mirrors gonna fall tonight)
Sex, love, control, vanity
(The mirrors gon' fog tonight)
Vanity, vanity

Squeeze, hot, hold that pose
You know I like it do it sweetheart, I'm the boss
I'll let you get close to it
I'm gonna make tonight a show
Oh oh
I'll make your love grenade explode, nanana

Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Burnin' the candles
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
Turning the lights out,
Tighten the handcuffs
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!
And the mirrors gon' fog tonight!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Natalia Kills's song Mirrors describe a power dynamic between two people engaging in a BDSM relationship. The singer commands her partner to shut their mouth and close the door while she watches them undress. She then blindfolds them and drops a letter to the floor. The next verses describe the physical acts of dominance and control over her partner, including tying their hands above the bed, squeezing and holding poses, and using a love grenade metaphor to describe explosive pleasure. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes turning the lights out, burning candles, tightening handcuffs, and causing the mirrors to fog. The song ends with the repeated phrase "sex, love, control, vanity" and a final assertion that "the mirrors gonna fall tonight."


The lyrics of Mirrors are intense and explicit, but they also contain deeper meaning. The themes of power, control, and vanity are central to the song's interpretation. The singer seeks to dominate their partner and derive pleasure from their obedience. Through the repeated imagery of fogging mirrors, the song suggests that both partners are equally complicit in their shared desire for control and validation. The use of a love grenade is a metaphor for the explosive power dynamic between the singer and her partner. Overall, the lyrics of Mirrors suggest a complex and potentially dangerous relationship based on mutual desire for control and domination.

Natalia sees herself in front of a mirror

"Ladies and gents we have a doppelgänger in our midst"

@kurbanovm

Lol. So true.

@visualhatefvck

You get this a bit wrong. Natalia Kills was just an project for her, as she said before in interveiws. But, she was then more and more under control of her Label she signed for 'Natalia Kills'. So yes, she used the X Factor platform to get out of all her contrects... worked very well haha obviously
She never wanted to be a nice mainstream pop princess. So she got back to her roots with "Cruel Youth" right after the staged X Factor thing. Actually very intelligent. Because there is NO way out of a contrant with a record label....she hasn't had control over her career as Natalia Kills anymore. Here We Go: This is actually HER as an FREE independent artist.

@bubblytea1

@Isabella Fernando Yes the comment is very hilarious - it's definitely not the same joke people keep commenting over and over again!! If you think her comments towards that man were wrong and inexcusable, why do you think it's ok for the people to bully her back in this comment section? Why wasn't what she said about that man 'funny'?

@sierraburkhart

@Isabella Fernando okay but the whole thing was staged, she literally said they high fived and everything afterwards PLUS the dude was harassing her the whole night before

@ytbr3383

@Isabella Fernando her behaviour is human, we all make mistakes, we learn, grow and change and that is life. Like as if you are flawless and don't make any mistakes. Lmao 😂 all those who judge her hard by such a little mistake, seem fake to me and need to look themself in the mirror. Also she disliked a persons clothes, if she would lie and say that she liked it, it wouldn't make her any better, being fake and a lier. She made a mistake, said something she regrets now, maybe she had a bad day. Maybe she said she was sorry to him. If you think that she is a bully, you haven't seen real bullys then. All famous popstars have probably said a lot worse things, just that media hasn't made a thing of it. It doesn't represent her as a human, she might be a very kind person otherwise and she probably didnt want to hurt the person, it came out wrong maybe. She's still just a human being after all.
