I am so addicted to this song! It's just kinda different quirky compared to the other songs on that album!
Anyways..does anyone else think maybe it's about the music biz?? I kept getting that feeling ever since I heard it. With all the lines about learning manners and such which refer to how him and The Killers had to learn how to function in the music industry. And the whole thing about swallowing it and being given too much on your plate could refer to when success hit them it was probably a bit overwhelming.
And some of the other stuff (most notably the last stanza or whatever you call it in music haha) kinda comes off to me as stuff they've been told by people in the music biz giving them advice and forcing them along to continue to be successful.
Or possibly it's just about the undertaking of him going out on in his own and making a solo record and the pressure that came with that.
I don't know, that is just my interpretation! But you guys have some really great ideas too!
