Mr Brightside Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Killers
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, letting me go
And I just can’t look - it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies <i>[acoustic version of the song says: "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
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, letting me go
'Cause I just can’t look - it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies <i>[acoustic version of the song says: "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
I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...

Review about Mr Brightside
wow | Reviewer: Kal'dorei | 5/22/09
Heh, i've just read that in wiki, its about "Human": In an interview with Rolling Stone, Flowers said that he was irritated over the confusion about the lyrics and also that fans were unhappy with the song's dance beat: "It's supposed to be a dance song, [the beat] goes with the chorus...If you can't put that together, you're an idiot. I just don't get why there's a confusion about it."
and now i'm looking at your interpretations...and i'm about to laugh
Meaning | Reviewer: Sir | 4/29/09
Angel is close i think it about a guy who is coming out of his cage and i think he loses his girl cause she kisses another guy and he doesnt think much of it (it was only a kiss) till she is (touching his chest now, he takes off her dress now) and he loses her but he cant move on (let me go)
mmm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/27/09
This song is so great.
It has a really catchy, upbeat feel to it, but is simultaneously sweet and sad, I love it. Personally though, I think that arguing about the meaning doesn't make much sense. Music is an art, so really the meaning would depend on the listener's point of view, as would the order of songs in the murder story. Just MO, though.
Gahh.. I love this song.
"correction of the meaning" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/21/09
I personally don't agree with you either, Beth. I think Mr.Brightside is the 4th part of the murder series because I interpret it as his recollection of the events. In my opinion "coming out of my cage... how did it end up like this" refers to him coming out of jail, which would be after "the interview with the cops."
Correction of the Meaning. | Reviewer: beth13 | 12/1/08
Actually, you're all wrong including you "Angel".
This is actually the first part out of 4 of the murder.
(Then its Leave the bourbon on the shelf, the midnight show, and jenny was a friend of mine.)
This is pretty much about him and the madness thats becoming of him due to Jenny lying with other men.
"Leave the bourbon on the shelf" is the actual murder, "The midnight show" is disposing of the body, and "Jenny was a friend of mine" is the interview with the cops.
So.. yeah.
Well done | Reviewer: josephinemirri | 7/17/08
I like this song a lot and the lyrics are meaningful.
It reminds me of Moulin Rouge.
Christian knows Satine is going to sleep with the Duke and he is mad with jealousy.
I think the song is about either a guy who is being cheated on or a guy who falls in love with a prostitute.
Either way it is an amazing song and very catchy.
Correction | Reviewer: Angel | 6/26/08
love this song. You are all wrong! -_- this song is about him finally opening up to a new relationship which refers to "Coming out of my cage, and i've been doing just fine." Then he puts more effort into it "Gotta gotta be down, Because i want it all" Then the kiss. He thought it was more than a kiss but then he just tries to see as only a simple kiss so that he can push himself away easier but it makes it harder because he catches her cheating on him.... damn ppl just don't know how to analyze... =P
my favorite song there is of all the songs there are. | Reviewer: ryan brightside | 2/17/08
this is like my favorite song.
i named myself after it.
even though it pisses me off that they didn't think of two verses. assholes.
but anyway, i think its about this guy who went out with this girl and didn't really like her, until he watched her have sex with another guy, so he killed her. and then he realizes what he did. idk if destiny is suicide or prison. i think its prison.
... | Reviewer: julz | 12/24/07
wow.i love this song. think that its mostly about a guy who has had past relationships in the past that didnt really work out, so he hasnt dated in a while. but when he says "im coming out of my cage" i think he means that hes ready to have a relationship again, but the memories of a past relationship still haunts him.
i cant really relate but i like the song.
great song. great band. :]
wow | Reviewer: kay | 8/27/07
