History Music / MirrorsAlbum

* CrystalDragonJesus: "The Great Sun Jester" sets a Creator/MichaelMoorcock scifi novel to music. ''The Fireclown'' is about a cosmic Messiah who comes to Earth on a mission of love, peace and redemption, preaching, in the words of Creator/DouglasAdams, that people should be nicer to each other for a change. sure enough, the Fireclown ends up being crucified.

* StoicWoobie: the narrator of "In Thee", regretting a relationship breakup. In a moment of RealLifeWritesThePlot, this song is by keyboards player Allen Lanier; WordOfGod says this is about his final breakup with long-time girlfriend Music/PattiSmith and the song is an elegaic farewell to her. It's significant that this is the first [=BÖC=] album where Patti contributes no material at all. [[note]]She does return with songwriting credits on ''Music/FireofUnknownOrigin'' several years later, and again on ''Music/TheRevolutionByNight''[[/note]]

It has to be said that the movie ''Film/{{Mirrors}}'' is a different thing entirely and has nothing to do with this LP, so if a dud link brought you here, then, apologies.

__> Girls, don't stop your screaming; you're sounding so sincere;
--> So much music in the tracks of your tears!

* StalkerWithACrush: The narrator of "I Am The Storm". Although his love appears to have corroded into a desire for vengeance, making him a StalkerWithoutACrush?

* CallBack: Mirrors are important as a component of the [[InnBetweenTheWorlds Four Winds Bar]] in the much earlier EpicRocking piece "Astronomy". Here the title track is all about them.
