New Man
Floor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

bastards out again
i will chase him
give me apathy
in other men
i don't let go
no control
chain will not break
you and me
made each other
match made wrong again
i will teach him
give me everything
another man
don't you know it's been too long
always on my own
you can stay here in my home
i can't let you go
and you'll see we can do this
i will have you know




done with searching for your love
ours forever

Overall Meaning

At its core, "New Man" by Floor appears to be a song about a woman who is fed up with men who have wronged her in the past and are still trying to cling onto her. She is determined to change her ways and avoid repeating the same mistakes. The lyrics can be interpreted as a declaration of empowerment and a refusal to settle for less.


The opening lines, "bastards out again, i will chase him, give me apathy in other men," suggest that the woman is frustrated with her past experiences with men and wants to distance herself from them emotionally. She is seeking a new kind of relationship and is unafraid to be alone until she finds it. However, she acknowledges that letting go of the past is not easy and takes effort ("i don't let go, no control, chain will not break").


The chorus, "you and me made each other, match made wrong again, i will teach him, give me everything, another man," seems to address a specific person or situation. It's possible that the woman is addressing an ex-lover who is trying to win her back, but she is not interested. She wants him to know that she has moved on and is looking for something new. She is confident that she will find it, and the "new man" she is seeking will be different from the ones she has known before.
