If the candles and the moon are “liars,” why does the woman turn to them? How does this metaphor reveal the mirror’s perspective?

Answer:

The lake (representing a mirror) calls the candles and the moon liars as they do not show the woman her true self. They appease her with falsities, whereas the mirror shows her the truth. This is why the mirror considers himself a superior friend. The mirror here is used as a symbol to procreate the poet’s own emotions and states.
