What is the Killers' Mr. Brightside about?
I'd really prefer if someone had a link to an interview straight from the band. Is it really just a simple as someone knowing his girl is with another dude?

I do appreciate the link, but that's not what I'm after. I honestly could give two shits what some jackass' impressions of the song are. I was hoping that someone had read something from the band themselves.
But thanks again for the site link, cool to know there is stuff like that out there.

Yes. It's the Killers, do you really expect complex lyrics?

Mr. Brightside tells us "This my shit" and points out that said shit is "Bananas." What more do you need to know?

Expecting complex lyrics from them is on par with expecting a stripper to recite the Treaty of Tripoli as she gives you a lap dance.

From the Island Records' Killers' webpage:
“Mr Brightside” - a tale of jealousy that depicts that moment in a relationship when you realise that your other half might be playing away and this thought takes up residence in your psyche feeding the worst fears and visualisations your imagination can then throw at you.

Still not sure if she was legit or had just read a book about the Holocaust.
