Mr Brightside
Unraveling the Tale of Temptation: Mr. Brightside's Intriguing Journey
Lyrics
Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Feeling positive and upbeat after being in a difficult situation
Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all
Willing to compromise or lower oneself to achieve desires
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
Reflecting on how a romantic encounter led to the current problematic situation
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Emphasizing that the prior kiss is the root of the current issue
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
Describing a scenario where the narrator is dozing off while someone else is arranging transportation for a romantic partner
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Depicting another person smoking while a different person is inhaling smoke from a cigarette
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
Feeling physically ill due to the unfolding situation
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
Admitting that the imagined scenario is causing emotional distress despite being a creation of the narrator's mind
Chest now, he takes off her
Describing a sequence of events where a person is undressing another
Dress now, let me go
Expressing the desire to detach or distance oneself from the situation
And I just can't look, it's killing me
Unable to face the situation due to its emotional impact
They're taking control
Feeling a loss of control as the situation progresses
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Describing how jealousy can change good people
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
Feeling suffocated by deceitful excuses
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Accepting fate's role and feeling compelled to respond
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Identifying oneself as optimistic despite challenges
I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Reiterating the initial feeling of emerging from a difficult situation
Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all
Willingness to make compromises for desires
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
Reflecting on how a kiss initiated the current problematic situation
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Emphasizing that the prior kiss is responsible for the current issue
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
Describing falling asleep while someone else arranges transportation for a romantic partner
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Depicting one person smoking while another inhales smoke
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
Feeling physically unwell due to unfolding events
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
Acknowledging the imagined scenario's impact on emotions despite being a creation of the mind
Chest now, he takes off her
Detailing a sequence where one person undresses another
Dress now, let me go
Expressing the desire to detach or distance oneself from the situation
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
Unable to face the situation due to its emotional impact
They're taking control
Feeling a loss of control as the situation progresses
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Describing how jealousy can change good people
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
Feeling suffocated by deceitful excuses
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Accepting fate's role and feeling compelled to respond
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Identifying oneself as optimistic despite challenges
I never...
