I think you are being too much SUPERFICIAL: let's not forget it's brandon flowers' song we are talking about, knowing his other songs, his way of explaining things and stories, it can be a good help even if it's always tricky to understand the killers' songs. I DO NOT think he is talking about an affair between married-engaged people. It talks about a COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP. as you may remember, human-incomplete nature and debility it's one of the killers topics. so this relationship between two people who love each other but are not really able to love and are afraid and are infirm and fragil (they keep secrets, they harm each other, still they want to be together), it's a STRUGGLE. life is a CONSTANT FIGHT BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, the only thing we can do is look for shelter. NOTICE that as in many other songs (all these things that i've done, for example) it comes the time when the "good" wins the fight, the victory against evil. and this doesn't happen because of human or how much we try (in fact, it seems the only thing to do is look for shelter and lay down, he is deceived and afraid) but it happens because of SOMETHING GREATER, much bigger, that breaks even the boundaries of the fears of these poor people. THIS IS CALLED REDEMPTION. I am not talking about any religion concretely, but the concept of redemption is this. so, to put it in short words: 1. HUMAN-INCOMPLETE NATURE; debility, fears, harm... 2. GOOD vs EVIL; life is a fight, it's hard. 3. REDEMPTION;this "hardest part"has an end. Something greater wins against evil and gives us freedom, we have no more boundaries, we can dream. |
