  • I went to their concert in 2009. They had this thing that if you texted this # on this bill-board type thingy that your message would go on it, and someone asked a girl to marry him XD how sweet

  • Oi! if Brandon said that then surely killers fans would believe him? he wouldn't lie, he is actually a trustable non-liar WHATEVER person xD <3 as usual, LOVE THE KILLERS! ;D

  • Sick Song

  • AWSUME!!!!

    

  • Please come to montreak >.< !!!!

  • I kept thinking it was "basement says everybody look down" lol i like that more

  • Close Encounters of The Killers kind. 

  • they say the nile used to run from east to west....love this song sooooooo much

  • awesum song....

  • damn some people are dissecting this song way too much, how about you just enjoy the damn song and shut up

  • I just can't stop listening to this song~!!!! This is my more than a 100th time~!!!! This song is so addicting....I think it makes me very happy~!!!!

  • I'd say this one had bowie in mind when it was being written.

    Many thanks for posting

  • MAN I LUV THIS SONG

    but why do people say his cloths r bad man i would where em and im a girl!!

  • i would 2 and im a girl [he dosent have girly tast]

  • y the FUCK didnt i love this song the immediate time i 1st heard it??! Its ace!

  • Brandon said this song was written for his Uncle Johnny (the same one that did cocaine), who tried to kill himself. The "cut me open," line refers to a shotgun blast intended for his balls, but he missed, hit his leg, and in turn, didn't end up committing suicide. With that story in place, the song's metaphors become clear. I think anybody can relate to the darkness of this song though.

  • dude i js had a spaz moment + gave u thumbs down instead of a thumbs up by accident. i felt bad so had 2 let u kno

  • @MarcusKiner why would you aim for your balls when killing yourself its a shotgum and theres a thing called a heart and a brain

  • Why don't you fucking ask uncle johnny wise ass bitch. That's from Brandon in an interview.

  • @MarcusKiner do you know what interview?

  • to me, this song is about changing your mind about suicide.

    lol when i first read a comment saying that a while ago, i didn't believe it, but then i read the lyrics while the song wasn't playing, and suddenly it was all there. EVERY. SINGLE. LINE. is a metaphor. check it our urself.

  • it doesn't get much better than this<3

  • This song is really a metaphor for either 1) Attempting suicide, surviving and changing their ways or 2) Getting over a severe drug addiction.

  • aliens?

  • really gooood song. the concert in peru was soo great, one of the best experiences in my life!!!!!!!!!!

    oh oh oh oh oh oh

  • super hyper über cool xD

  • cool song!

  • what's this song about?

  • Being abducted by aliens

  • RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

  • @Trevdaman I thought it was about suicide.

    "Next thing I knew, they ripped me from my bed

    And then they took my blood type" = he's in the hospital after trying to commit suicide

    "You know that I was hoping

    That I could leave this star-crossed world behind" = he wanted to die

    "You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

    You better look it over

    Before you make that leap" = you'd better think about it before you jump.

  • @cowardlygoomba that is a good point, but in a few interviews Brandon Flowers said it was about being abducted by aliens

  • @Trevdaman LOL! Thats what i thought it was about from the beggining... It amuses me that he acctually said that...

  • @Trevdaman Brandon just says that cause he is being interviewed by the media

  • @cowardlygoomba i agree i believe it's about suicide. though brandon flowers has claimed it is not... i still believe it's about suicide though

  • @cowardlygoomba could be, but i actually think its about being abducted by aliens...and the aliens ripped him from his bed and took him to a spaceship and he's thinking its a dream..like he said, "its all in my mind"

  • @cowardlygoomba there is another good song by the killers about suicide.

  • @cowardlygoomba that is probably the most intelligent comment I have ever read on anything ever.

  • @cowardlygoomba creepy comment. made me think haha

  • @cowardlygoomba it is not about suicide... but this is too good to skip it. Great interpretation.

  • @cowardlygoomba "but then they cut me open (the aliens)...guess I changed my mind!"

  • @cowardlygoomba

    Yeah, except the song is called SPACEMAN. 

  • @Trevdaman i thought it was suicide? 

  • @Poopyheadnumber1 No, it's about being abducted by aliens

  • @Trevdaman"The public don't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised." The public believes what they see on TV . "My global position systems are vocally addressed. They say the nile used to run from east to west." If someone were to tell the public across the globe that the Nile really used to run opposite the directions it has always went, they would believe it "Spaceman says everybody look down" THe person abducted is told the truth about the media, the "facts" are all in your mind.

  • @Trevdaman Didn't they say it was about what happens to astronauts who came back from space?

  • @Trevdaman no it's not

  • Oh Oh OhOOOh, Oh Oh Oh OhOhOhOh!!!

  • Cooool

  • It doesn't matter cause it means another song from day & age!

  • im pretty sure its about alien abduction...wheredja hear that?

  • actually its about a a man who gets back from being abducted by aliens and was gonna kill himself but he realizes that it was all a dream and hes gonna be alright

  • oh ok! thanks for that...i was wondering...

  • Seems so, also could be alien abduction.

    it could be double meaning.

    It started with a low light

    Next thing I knew, they ripped me from my bed

    And then they took my blood type

    It left a strange impression in my head

    those are my favorite lyrics though, gona use em in a video i make :D
