Mr. Brightside Lyrics & Video
The Killers See albums and popular songs
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss,
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now,
Let me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy,
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
(repeat all)
I never
I never
I never

This is one of the best songs that I ever heard, and Brandon Flowers is an amazing singer because he can make me feel like guilty, jajajaja, I don't know, they're amazing, I love them \,,,/

Jealous. That is the mean. A guy found her girl with other man and this kill him.
But, the man is Mr. Brightside, is optimist

I have read with interest the various Mr Brightside lyric meanings, and I really have to tell everybody the real meaning of the song. while some posts have been close to the truth, the most fundamental meaning has been missed entirely. The lyrics are based on an old film featuring a character called Tim Brightside who fell in love with a prostitute, she promised to give it up and she lied, he was heartbroken and jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge.
This song was written as a suicide note by the real ghost author not Brandon Flowers. The authors life very closely resembled this story including part of the name. He didn't go through with the suicide.
I'm coming out of my cage refers to...coming up from a Bipolar down from which he had been doing just fine until he met her...gotta be down is safe back in the cage.
Destiny calling is death with eager eyes...cause Mr Brightside was not a optimist but a suicide.Nothing wrong with buying ghost written lyrics but a bit off to call them your own.
