Man There
The Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're wasting your time, she's made up her mind
The circuit is closed and nobody knows
She's got a man there

The magic is gone, protected too long
She's a statue in flames
She's found a new game
She's got a man there

Still nothing satisfies, no peace of mind
Don't cry when the glamour dies
It happens all the time

Out past midnight every night
Keeping secrets out of sight
Making love till morning light





She's got a man there

Overall Meaning

The Angels's song "Man There" is a cautionary tale about a woman who is no longer interested in her current partner, and has moved on to someone else. The lyrics are simple but poignant - the singer is warning the listener not to waste their time trying to win her back, as she has already made up her mind to be with someone else. The chorus repeats the warning that "she's got a man there", emphasizing that the woman is no longer available.


The second verse of the song continues to explore the woman's new life with her new partner. The singer sings that "the magic is gone, protected too long", suggesting that the woman had become bored and complacent in her old relationship, and was looking for something more exciting. He goes on to describe her as a "statue in flames", implying that she has become emotionally numb and is seeking passion to reignite her feelings. The final verse is a warning that the same thing could happen to the listener - if they become complacent in their relationship, they could end up being replaced just like the woman in the song.
