Wow, that line "I want to jump of my skin and watch the clouds" really speaks to me. You just want to leave yourself and the world behind and chill. |

| The Killers – Everything Will Be Alright Lyrics

I think it's about losing someone you love and feeling it's your fault. He talks about how he met her, and then "take your suitcase". He asks her to leave. But in the start he says "I'm coming to find you, if it takes me all night." It feels like he told her to leave, she drove away, and the car crashed or something. It's possible he texted her while she was driving and caused her to crash. Now he's telling himself it'll be alright. |

| The Killers – Bones Lyrics

Okay, so this is a little out there and probably not what The Killers intended, but I think this occurs right before the murder trilogy.
So he starts out dating this girl just to get laid, not for love. But by the end of the song, he ends up liking her. When he says "I never had a lover", he means he has never felt the way he did about her. There are also parts about going to the ocean and looking at the stars that reference to Midnight Show. Then we go to Leave The Bourbon On The Shelf. She's been cheating on him and broke up with him. He starts drinking, gets drunk, and becomes mad at Jenny. We know from the last two songs that Jenny was strangled. He mentions in Bourbon "I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight". He is planning to kill her. We move to midnight show, he's still drunk. He has convinced Jenny to come with him with the promises of a night like the one in Bones. Bones mentions that they are going to the beach to look at the stars. Midnight Show mentions that he took her breath "beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere" and "a crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl". He plans on taking her to the same beach as in Bones, and dumps her body in the same ocean. He drives away. Then, in Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine, he is sober now and is being interrogated. There is also reference to how they had a fight and how she "said she loved me but had somewhere to go". She left him to be with someone else. Notice he never says that he didn't do it, just that "there ain't no motive for this crime". He is ashamed and doesn't understand why he killed her. I think he also can't bear the thought of killing her, which is why he says "she couldn't scream while I held her close". He also refers to her as a friend instead of his girlfriend. He knew they would never get back together, but he killed her because he couldn't stand seeing her with anyone else. It is not made clear if he was guilty or not.
That's my weird little interpretation, thanks for reading! |
