Cover art for Mirror Man lyrics by Human League, The

Seems to be about a guy that is high on himself and expect others - his ex-lover in particular - to be more like him in order to improve. If this guy were really a fan of others then he would try more to accept them as they are, so thinking of himself as a people fan is probably supposed to be a touch of irony. In the opening stanza the relationship appears to already have come to an end so the lyric could be going back in time as in progresses, reminiscing about recent events in a disjointed sort of way.
