Mirrors
AFTR SUN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna
Watch you while you take it off
I′m gonna, take a blindfold
Put it on
And then I
Drop the leather to the floor
I said shut up
Turning the lights out
Burning the candles
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Turning the lights out
Tightening the handcuffs
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
A stiletto on the neck
Until I, tie your hands above the bed
You got that, but boy don't pull the trigger yet
Na, na, na
I′ve had to reload the clip
Na, na, na
Turning the lights out
Burning the candles
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Turning the lights out
Tightening the handcuffs
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Turning the lights out
Burning the candles
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Turning the lights out
Tightening the handcuffs
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Instrumental
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Instrumental
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
(And the mirrors gonna fog tonight)
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 leather to the floor
I said shut up
Turning the lights out
Burning the candles
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Turning the lights out
Tightening the handcuffs
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
My stiletto on the neck
Until I, tie your hands above the bed
You got that, but boy don't pull the trigger yet
Na, na, na
I′ve had to reload the clip
Na, na, na
Turning the lights out
Burning the candles
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
Turning the lights out
Tightening the handcuffs
And the mirrors gonna fog tonight
The lyrics in AFTR SUN's song "Mirrors" describe a sexually charged encounter between two people. The singer directs their partner to "shut your mouth and close the door" and proceeds to watch as they take off their clothes. The singer then blindfolds their partner and drops their leather garment to the floor, intensifying the seductive atmosphere. The chorus repeats the phrase "turning the lights out, burning the candles, and the mirrors gonna fog tonight" as the singer tightens handcuffs and places a stiletto on the partner's neck. They remind the partner not to "pull the trigger yet," suggesting a desire for prolonged anticipation before climax.
The lyrics of the song are dark and meant to portray a somewhat dangerous sexual fantasy. They imply power dynamics and the singer's desire to dominate their partner. The mirror symbolizes the eyes of society watching their every move, but the foggy mirrors imply a disregard for those external judgments and the indulgence in their desires behind closed doors.

We will dim the lights and light candles, as the room becomes steamy and the mirrors fog up. I will also tighten the handcuffs to stimulate sexual tension.
My stiletto on the neck

I will place a high heel shoe on your neck and tie your hands above the bed. Do not climax yet, I'm not allowing you to finish. I had to prepare again for more.

No lyrics, just instrumental leading up to a repeating chorus of the fogged mirrors.
