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
Now 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
Turning 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
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 have a long distance relationship. One of his bestfriend's knew it but she kissed him anyway. She was looking for love but she realized that he wasn't enough for her.
My bf told me everything e between us was very weird, neither I knew if we did broke up or not. She was waiting for her to decide if she wanted to be with him.
I felt very bad. And I do now too, thinking that she's always there near him and...oh I don't know, I trust him a lot, but...I'm always scared and It's only in my mind, like the song says. I feel like this lyrics. They relate to me a lot.
this song came on a disc my cuzz gave me, but it didnt have any of the names, i onyl recognized like 4 right off the back, and i liked the song "Somebody Told Me" so i started looking through other Killer songs, and i fidn this and i instantly think, "HOLY CRAP!!! this is from the CD!!!" i've bin trying to figure out the names for this stuff!
Interesting to read interpretations. One of my relationships ended because an old flame came back into my life and I wasn't over her. I was honest to my new gf and said I needed to investigate these old feelings. She let me see her, I never cheated, but there was a kiss. Long story short, everything fell apart from there, my gf broke up with me, started seeing someone else, I got back with my old flame, but nothing felt right again and I regretted ever straying in the first place.
To me, "gotta gotta be down because I want it all" meant I've got to be okay with this new arrangement because I brought it on with my own selfishness. And of course all the regret... "it started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this...", the kiss being mine. "But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me..." trying to make sense of everything.
That's how it fit into my experience :-) BTW, I think Brandon Flowers got off easy not writing a second verse to this song and instead repeating the first :-P Still love it though.
