Coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' 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 And 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 I'm coming out of my cage And I've been doin' 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 'Cause 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 I never I never I never I never  submitted by Josh S corrected by Caterfree10 on 06-07-2010 |

1 posts | [topic=][i]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. |

20 posts | Simply great song! I can relate it to me also. Jealousy... Rrr...   The Killers ROCK! ! ! Love them! And I guess 'Mr. Brightside' is about being on a bright side and not to invent foolish accusations in your mind although it's not that easy sometimes |
