I do. What's it about?

A man falls in love with a working girl. She has feelings for him. He tries to get her out of her lifestyle, but her pimp is always outplaying him. He has to be okay with it and move on because he has other things in his life to do, so he leaves... but he is haunted by the memory hence why he is writing the song.

Seriously watch the music video closely and tell me it's about a "cheating girlfriend".

Lyrically, "Mr. Brightside" depicts the jealousy and paranoia of a man who suspects his significant other is cheating on him.

the video is a cash grab by some industry guys. the song was written mostly before the band existed.

>>68290559
like seriously they even had a different video before they filmed that one.

The song is generalized from a specific scenario to an easy to digest tune. The music video indicates what it is specifically about if you are paying attention.

other way around guy

The other way around doesn't make sense.

i thought it was just a guy singing words that sounded cool

I always thought it was about an ex girlfriend who the guy is no longer in contact with but still has feelings for.
So he's thinking about her, but the stuff he's thinking is just "all in his head" because he doesn't ACTUALLY know what she's up to.
Anyone else think this?

I think rather than an ex girlfriend, it's someone new that he isn't even actually seeing properly yet
"It was only a kiss" but he "gotta be down" (can't help feeling depressed) "Because I want it all" (he wants to jump straight from kissing some broad he met to being in a committed relationship with her, and can't stand that she might be having flings with other people while she's still single and not dating him yet)

that actually makes sense, i dont know why but ive never thought that it was only a kiss meant a kiss between him and the girl, i thought it was some other guy and the girl
