Discover the story of the song > Mirror Man – The Human League

The song is about someone reflecting on changes in their relationship with their partner. The person singing promises to change if their partner wants them to, and that they want to fulfill all their partner's hopes and dreams. The title "Mirror Man" is a metaphor for looking at oneself and reflecting on past relationships. The protagonist also talks about distance healing the pain of a friendship left behind, but doubts remain. The chorus repeats the phrase "Here comes the mirror man, says he's a people fan," which could be interpreted as the protagonist trying to be the person their partner wants them to be, or trying to please others in general.
