Maybe this song is directed towards Brandon's bandmates from his first band, Blush Response. They left him behind in Vegas when they went to try to make it big in LA. I think it would be natural for there to be some hard feelings on the part of those former band members because of Brandon and The Killers' success, and Brandon has said in interviews that he has/had negativity towards them for leaving him. Maybe this song is just Brandon venting those issues. As an aside, this song has a strong Interpol-like sound I think, which isn't a bad thing!
