Okay, DID post a disclaimer at the beginning of this, but it was taken off. These lyrics were compiled by a few of us over at TKC (The Killers Community) and they are nowhere near finished/correct. They will be edited once we get a better version to judge from.
I haven't had much time to interpret this song, as I'm still in shock. This song has already brought the Killers' success to a higher level...it's genius. Brandon's lyrics always amaze me, but this is so deep, so electrifying. He has never written better. They have never made a more gripping song. I must say that it has the same dark romantic feel from Hot Fuss. I find it interesting that this song fully embodies Hot Fuss and Sam's Town, like I said with the darkness from HF, but also with the heavier rock of ST. ST might've been a walk in the sunshine, but Tranquilize is the epilogue to the story...what happens when the sun goes down on Sam's Town.
Lou's grave vocals and Brandon's punctuate wails perfectly offset each other...they carrying a this frantic, paranoid feel throughout the track. The children's choir brings that feeling to the next level...it's absolutely haunting. This song was carefully crafted by the boys...it's so obvious. It's gives you a nightmarish feeling, but Lou's part at the end shows the light at the end of the tunnel.
God, I am so amazed. These boys are meant for greatness...if anyone had a doubt, Tranquilize has surely won them over.
This song has an eerie, haunting and anticipating feel to it - I love how the bridge rise, rise, rise - pound,pound,pound - and then comes the chorus as the soothing climax...
Lou's concluding lines, that everything is going to be allright after all is absolutely brilliant, and wraps up the song perfectly.

I don't know about you guys, but everytime I hear it, I get goosebumps.
