| The Killers – When You Were Young Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Havent read any of the comments but I see it as A girl who has fallen into a relationship where the guy cheats on her, but she has all these ideas of a perfect man and hopelessly romantic ideas so is blinded to this... she finds out hes cheating but somehow keeps going back to her, and brandon in the song is speaking out to her trying to tell her that the guy is quite the opposite to her ideals - and is more so like the devil. (cheating, unloving) she knows its true, but needs the love - waiting on some beautiful boy to save you - watch it now here he comes... - shes desperate and because of this has landed a relationship in which she is being betrayed |

Ah this is another great son, lol man I love The Killers. This one I feel is Brandon saying how its never really bothered him that nobody ever seems to make it where he is, but he feels he can be so much more and can make it and become a success...have you ever seen the lights? - he knows whats out there and hes ready to get out and have his chance to shine...but the song also sees brandon making sure that when he does make it, he remembers where he came from "as long as somebody take me home, every now and then" - it isnt literal - just as long as he remembers his roots, because all the things hes learnt from his town can help him make it. Hes also scared that people will judge him for trying to leave and become a big shot, but at the same time, he needs to find his worth. That's what I think anyway... |

Shit, I just had a big analysis of what I thought this song meant and lost it. This is my favourite song of the album by far...Basically I think that it is referring to Brandons fathers alcohol addiction (or anyone who has been down the same path) There are two people speaking in the song - one being Brandons alcoholic father and one Brandon. Most of the song is about Brandons battle to get his father to help himself, fight the addiction and change his life. Brandon tells of how he assures his father, and also shows how his father feels - that he cant make it out of the hole he has dug for himself, and he keeps slipping back into the temptation...he covers it with excuses...and brandon is becoming exhausted by it "Shut up, poor and tired, but better than this" He knows his father worth and is having a hard time getting through to his dad. Near the end he seems to have given up "Glory in the desert rain" basically he feels that he will not be able to convince his father. But he cant throw it in because he cares so much about this person "We're gonna make it, Out of the fire" - out of the fire, like out of the addiction. The last sentence "You'll remember me." is Brandon telling his dad, that when he makes it out, he will remember how Brandon assured he was better and could pull through and how much easier it could have been if he had have tried earlier. The song I feel is about being there for someone who is suffering or in a bad phase in anyway, and having them constantly let you down and give up, but sticking throught to see them come around...and how tough and hard it is to watch. I feel this song because I know what its like to be down and feel like you cant get out, even with outside sources telling you you can...and then realising afterwards how you let yourself get further into a bad state and needed someone you cared for to pull you out. That's what I get from it, im probably totally wrong but still lol |
