Biographies are listed below:

1) Mirrors were a Cleveland, Ohio band that germinated in 1972 and was initially active between 1973 and 1975. The band gushed forth fetid no-commercial-potential proto-punk and avant-psych with the same kind of dark pizzazz as their heroes The Velvet Underground mustered a few years earlier. Original founding members are Jamie Klimek (guitars, vocals) and Jim Crook (guitars, theremin) joined by Paul Marotta (keyboards), Michael Weldon (drums), and either Craig Bell or Jim Jones on bass. From 1986 to 1992 Klimek and Marotta (this time playing bass) reactivated Mirrors along w/ drummer Paul Laurence. Shared members w/ electric eels, X-X, The Styrenes, Rocket From The Tombs, Pere Ubu, Saucers, etc.

2) Mirrors are a modern pop-noir electronic four-piece from Brighton, UK, who released their first single 'Look At Me' in August 2009 through Pure Groove. Next single 'Into The Heart' followed in November 2009 through Moshi Moshi Singles Club, leading to the band signing to Skint Records. They released their first album in February 2011 called 'Lights And Offerings'. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrors_%28band%29 for more info.

3) Mirrors were a 1978 Japanese new wave band that released two 7''s titled 'Shogeki X' (1978) & 'Out Of Order' (1979). The song is featured on a Japanese compilation named Crack!.

5) MIRRORS is a Brit style rock quartet from The Netherlands. MIRRORS were founded by Bart Damen (vocals/guitar) & Wouter de Wilde (drums) and were completed by Thom de Graaf (bass) & Koen Wieringa (lead guitar).

For Greg Ashley's band please refer to The Mirrors.

6) Mirrors is the music collaboration of Micheal Cota and Benjamin Evans. Michael and Benjamin met in first year of university at Concordia, Montreal, in September 2009. A random gathering of many students in a hall of residence bedroom, hours of messing around with amplified guitars, violins, pianos, empty glass bottles and other objects, creating music. This was the beginning of a friendship and duo which would eventually become Mirrors.

The two made music everyday, composing songs and writing lyrics together for four months. Whilst developing musically, their friendship evolved in parallel, discovering similarities such as having the same birthday, same music tastes, and same university major in studio arts. They also have large differences, Michael grew up in Perth, a small town in Ontario, Canada and Benjamin in the city of Paris, France.tal

They have written and recorded a demo of their first album, "Right Now For Now". A professional recording is planned to be released in May 2010.

7) m.i.r.s. is also an alternative rock band from Des Moines, Iowa, with a dark sound influenced by instrumental rock artists such as the Red Sparowes and Explosions in the Sky. The band's songs rarely follow a simple verse-chorus song structure, as they tend to build to a crescendo with a layer of epic delay and melodic arpeggios, then leave you guessing with sudden tempo changes and heavy distortion.

In November 2010 Mirrors self-recorded their debut in a garage with borrowed equipment. These demos however only give the listener a glimpse of the live sound m.i.r.s. possess.

8) Mirrors are an experimental math rock group from Providence whose sole release thus far is the 2011 five track EP/album - The Frame, The Refraction, The Key

10) Mirrors is a group consisted of Becca Stevens, Gisela Joāo, Justin Stanton, Louis Cato and Michael League (from Snarky Puppy). Is is a group formed in August 2020, amid the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. These five artists gathered in the countryside of Portugal to record an album together.
Living and working under one roof, they were guided by one guideline: each participant must co-write a song with one another. The result is Mirrors, a dynamic and introspective collection of songs that not only serves as a testament to the artists’ versatile talents but also to the power of human connection.
Their first EP, entitled Mirrors EP, came out in early October 2021, consisting of 3 songs.

Mirrors Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me down don't be scared to make a scene
Just sell it, sell it, we both know the sheets are clean
I told you once the other day, I said I wouldn't care about
It anyway

Night-time and my demons become saints
You say it's easy, (easy,) I say no, no, (no, no,) way
And though we might see God from these dizzy heights

You know it won't be long before we're out of sight

Go home, (Go home,) you don't have to rot
Go home, (Go home,) you took your shot, you lost
You know we don't have to do this anymore
We've danced around and around until our feet are sore

Morning and my demons came to stay
I tried, but I could not get them to stay away
So I'm looking into that demon eyes
I've got nowhere to run I've got nowhere to hide

Go home, (Go home,) you don't have to rot
Go home, (Go home,) you took your shot, you lost

Overall Meaning

In the song "Secrets" by Mirrors, the singer is inviting their lover to let loose and allow themselves to be vulnerable in their presence, promising that they will not judge them. The singer encourages their lover to express themselves freely, asserting that they share a clean slate and have no secrets between them. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that their inner demons can make it difficult to maintain a healthy relationship, and though they both might feel invincible in their moments of extended intimacy, they know that their time together is fleeting. The chorus urges the listener to let go of their past mistakes and move on, rather than dwelling on them and causing themselves harm.

The song tackles the topic of emotional baggage within relationships, acknowledging the difficulty in maintaining emotional honesty while also battling one's own inner demons. The singer acknowledges that their partner may have made mistakes in the past, but that they are willing to look past those mistakes in order to connect with them emotionally. The song ends on an uncertain note, with the singer lamenting their inability to escape their personal demons.

Line by Line Meaning

Hold me down don't be scared to make a scene
Don't be afraid to draw attention to yourself and show the world who you are.

Just sell it, sell it, we both know the sheets are clean
Let's act out our desires and live in the moment, without worrying about the consequences.

I told you once the other day, I said I wouldn't care about it anyway
I promised not to let your secrets affect me, but I know I can't keep that promise.

Night-time and my demons become saints
I become my darker, unrestrained self at night, and my vices are elevated to virtues.

You say it's easy, (easy,) I say no, no, (no, no,) way
You view our forbidden desires as simple and easy to fulfill, but I know that it's not that simple.

And though we might see God from these dizzy heights
Our experiences might be intense and exhilarating, but they won't last forever.

You know it won't be long before we're out of sight
Our time together is fleeting and temporary, and we'll soon return to our separate lives.

Go home, (Go home,) you don't have to rot
It's time to move on and leave this destructive behavior behind, before it consumes us completely.

Go home, (Go home,) you took your shot, you lost
We took a chance on our desires, but it didn't pay off and we ended up losing.

You know we don't have to do this anymore
We can choose to stop indulging in our desires and move on to healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

We've danced around and around until our feet are sore
We've been trapped in this cycle of temptation and guilt for too long, and it's taken a toll on us.

Morning and my demons came to stay
Even in the daylight, my darker impulses and desires continue to haunt me.

I tried, but I could not get them to stay away
I've attempted to resist my impulses, but they keep creeping back and tempting me.

So I'm looking into that demon eyes
I'm confronting my darker side and embracing my temptations, even though I know it's unhealthy.

I've got nowhere to run I've got nowhere to hide
I'm trapped in this cycle of temptation and self-destruction, with no way out.
