Mr. Brightside lyrics

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it allIt started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kissNow I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a dragNow they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my headBut she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me goAnd I just can't look it's killing me
And taking controlJealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibisBut it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. BrightsideI'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it allIt started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kissNow I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a dragNow they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my headBut she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me goCause I just can't look it's killing me
And taking controlJealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibisBut it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I'm Mr. BrightsideI never
I never
I never
I never

    Ok, although you guys seem to to swept up in fan crazed frenzy about this band, you havn't really given any thought to what Freddie has said, just jumped the gun nand called him names. I lovde the killers and have always wondered whhat their songs were about, i think Freddie has a decent point about this song, it seems to make sense, although i disagree with the calling them you own part freddie, i'm sure if you were ask Brandon he would tell you that he got the inspiration from this song from the old film, but you can't really believe that the ghost author had written this song, Word by word himself for Brandon to Plagerise, its his own adaptation i would imagine. Cheers for the comment anyway Explained this song on a deeper leveel for me :)

    You also forgot to say "I know this to be true because he told me."

    Fucking liar.

    Freddie, if that IS your name, why don't you peddle your lies somewhere else. Better still, stop telling them before they hang you.

    Lies are a stepping stone to a bitter life, or a sorrowful death.

    Cunt.

    LOL

    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.
