Mandy
Westlife(西城男孩) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my eyes
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream
Now I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
In Westlife’s song “Mandy,” the lyrics portray a heartbroken man who reflects on his past relationship. He describes how he remembers his life, depicting the cold and sad moments when he used to cry in the night. He sees happy people passing by, and he realizes that he is not as happy as he used to be before. The words in the chorus show that the woman he loved, Mandy, came and gave without taking anything from him, but he had to let her go. She made him happy, but now he is standing on the edge of time, walking away from love that was once his.
The song goes on to express his pain, describing how he is caught up in a world of uphill climbing where nothing rhymes. He remembers the moments when Mandy kissed him and stopped him from shaking; now, he needs her today. The last verse implies that he has given up on yesterday, and he faces the morning crying on the breeze, and the pain is calling. Yet, the chorus highlights that he needs Mandy today as she gave without taking anything from him and stopped him from shaking.
Overall, the lyrics of the song “Mandy” express a deep sense of heartache and longing for a lost love. The song's use of imagery and the melancholic tone captures the emotions of love and loss, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced a heartbreak.

I remember all my life
The beginning of a memory is recalled and relived
Raining down as cold as ice
Sadness or disappointment came upon him, like an icy rain
A shadow of a man
He feels lost or uncertain, and his form appears dim or unclear
A face through a window
He looks out into the world, seeing others as a distant, unknown face
Crying in the night
He's emotional, grieving, or in pain, during the dark hours
The night goes into morning, just another day
Time continues to march forward, with no changes around him
Happy people pass my way
Others are cheerful and carefree, walking by him
Looking in their eyes, I see a memory
The memory of Mandy or another past love comes to mind with a glance from strangers
I never realized how happy you made me, oh Mandy
In retrospect, he never appreciated how much joy Mandy brought him
Well you came and you gave without taking
Mandy came into his life and gave him love and happiness, never expecting anything in return
And I sent you away, oh Mandy
He pushed Mandy out of his life or caused her to leave
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
Mandy had a comforting touch, easing his nervousness and fear
And I need you today, oh Mandy
He still longs for Mandy's love and support, even now
I'm standing on the edge of time
He feels that he's almost out of time, barely hanging on to the present moment
Walked away when love was mine
He let go of love or lost Mandy when they still had the chance to be together
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
He feels like he's constantly working hard to succeed or overcome obstacles
The tears are in my eyes, and nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy
He's overcome with sadness, and even his thoughts or words can no longer make sense
Yesterday's a dream
Memories of Mandy or his past love seem unreal or illusory
Now I face the morning
He wakes up to a new day, without Mandy by his side
Crying on the breeze
His sadness is carried away by the wind, felt but unseen
The pain is calling, oh Mandy
He's still burdened by the hurt of losing Mandy, calling out to her for relief

Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory

How happy you made me
Oh, Mandy
When you came, and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh, Mandy
When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh, Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world
Of uphill climbing
Tears are on my mind
Nothing is rhyming
Oh, Mandy
When you came, and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh, Mandy
When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
Yesterday's a dream
I faced the morning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling
Oh, Mandy
When you came, and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh, Mandy
