A mahogany cyprus is a type of table; whether this is what he is really singing about beats me. Here is an example:

If this is what he is referring to I would guess the point is that this is a fancy grown-up furniture sort of thing you would see in your aunt's house. It is generally used to store napkins and table linens ("sheets").
Which means this could be the first of the many songs that reference Johan leaving the band for the family life. Is the mahogany cyprus something he saw when "they took us in to see their new apartment?" And is there maybe a bit of anger there toward Jonas' girlfriend for taking him away from the band? "We all can wring her neck." Yep.
