Mirage
Rosette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The soul is roaring but the flesh is weak
In the summer seasoning
Drowning in the scorch of the sun,
A beauty caught my eye in the distance
And maybe with persistence
I could convince her to share her secrets
Oh her seductive sexual dance draws me in
My upper lip quivers and these tiny
Tiny beads of sweat fall from my brow
Are you a dream?
Are you a figment of my imagination?
Too good to be true, From Heaven God sent you
I'm truly blessed to meet your acquaintance
I shot day, It's a pleasure

In the desert sand across the southern seas
My hips sway like palms in the breeze
Travelled far, stranger in this place
Forbidden fruit
Don't you want a taste (baby don't you want a taste)
Follow my hands over my skin
Thirsty eyes drinking me in
Burning laps, shake my silhouette
I lick my lips as I watch you sweat

I'm that shine in the rain
Says you need to Cool you
I'll show you every pinch of the Karma Sutra
Make you feel like two nights
Is a thousand and one nights baby
Take you higher, on a magic carpet ride baby
Touch you, love you in a thousand and one ways
Until the life spring off set force when you wake it was never

Inspired from the door
Glowing skin soaked falling to the door
Body twisted turning like a storm
Exotic secrets keep you wanting more
I will keep you wanting more

I'm that shine in the rain
Says you need to Cool you
I'll show you every pinch of the Karma Sutra
Make you feel like two nights
A thousand and one nights baby
Take you higher, on a magic carpet ride baby
Touch you, love you in a thousand and one ways
Until the life spring off set when you wake it was never

My exotic beauty, miss dissent rose
With your soft supple lips
You have no idea the love you inspire
What I wouldn't give to spend one hour
In your bosom, our bodies intertwine
In a gentle crass, thrusting the hips
And in a flash... You're gone

Make you feel like two nights
A thousand and one nights baby
Take you higher, on a magic carpet ride baby
Touch you, love you in a thousand and one ways
Until the life spring off set when you wake it was never
Make you feel like two nights
A thousand and one nights baby
Take you higher, on a magic carpet ride baby
Touch you, love you in a thousand and one ways




Until the life spring off set when you wake it was never
(Never, never)

Overall Meaning

The song Mirage by Rosette is all about the singer's encounter with a beautiful woman in the scorching heat of summer. The lyrics evoke the idea of temptation and the struggle between one's soul and the flesh. The singer experiences physical reactions to this woman and is enticed by her seductive sexual dance. The lyrics suggest that the woman is a mirage, too good to be true, and perhaps a figment of the singer's imagination. Despite this, the singer is drawn in by her beauty and wants to know her secrets. The lyrics paint a picture of a forbidden fruit that's too tempting to resist.


The second verse of the song shifts the focus to the woman's perspective. The lyrics suggest that she is aware of her beauty and the effect that it has on the singer. She describes herself as an exotic beauty and is keen to show off every pinch of the Karma Sutra to the singer. The lyrics suggest that the woman is aware of the power dynamics at play and is in control of the situation. She promises to take the singer on a magic carpet ride where she will show him a thousand and one ways to touch and love her. However, much like a mirage, she disappears before the encounter reaches its climax.


Mirage is about the idea of temptation and chasing after something that may not even exist. The song evokes the idea of a mirage in the desert, where something looks real but is actually an illusion. The lyrics suggest that the singer is intoxicated by the beauty of the woman, but is unsure if she is real or a figment of his imagination. The woman, on the other hand, knows how to use her beauty to lure the singer into her trap. Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of chasing after things that are too good to be true.

昔、しーちゃんにハマってましたネ(•ᴗ•)
話し方とギャップありすぎる迫力ある声、歌い方なのにキーは意外と高いのです(T . T)

このアルバム持ってましたが外れの曲なしは珍しいかと…♫
upされた方に感謝です(o^^o)

当時、このアルバムの断崖の最初の入りに驚いたりこの曲とどちらが良いかマジに悩んでた〜 笑😉

歳重ねて聴くとやはりどちらもいいし順位付けなくてもと思える( ´ൠ`)
あの頃は若かったしーちゃんよりは年上だけど…(ὸ⍸ό)✧

80s&YMOfan

かっこ。
