| The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| @[Loquacity:51513] I like this interpretation. It makes sense. It’s easy to write a song about someone who cheated on you, but this goes deeper than that. It’s harder to understand our thoughts and how we react and behave with them. Some might go absolutely nuts and others might not even be bothered by the idea, but I don’t think labeling someone with a mental disorder right away based on a shared deep personal poetic thought is what we should do with this literature. Those people likely dont believe there is something “wrong” with them and that’s why they likely don’t truly connect with the thoughts or feelings or emotions brought forth by the lyrics and music. It doesn’t match their thoughts and so they think it’s crazy talk. Artist share their work with the world, but isn’t quite an invitation to go and label them with a mental disorder. As far as I know, real doctors would need more information to evaluate than just one poem. Lots of songwriters don’t even write about themselves often, and might create fictional characters and stories, and could also be slightly true or slightly about themselves. It goes back to “it’s not all just black or white, theres a lot of gray”. Everybody has something about them that might affect their lives in a negative way or not it’s called being human. Some people deny this or might not even realize it and others could even be flaunting it. Maybe its jealousy maybe it’s ocd maybe it’s addiction maybe it’s time management. There’s a lot of gray in our spectrum of ideas, beliefs, emotions, struggles..some will connect to this song more than others..that’s the beauty of literature and music that can make us feel like we aren’t alone in life and we can connect to others on a deeper level. | |
