The song 'Mr Brightside' is about the speakers optimism and how he looks on the brightside of any given situation. The song talks about his love for a woman who he's only just met and the heartbreak he suffers as a result of it.
"I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all"
In the opening fiew lines the speaker talks about how he's 'coming out of his cage' and opening his heart for the first time, which was being locked away in the cage.
"It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss"
Here he wonders how he could care so deeply for someone so much after one kiss.
"Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag"
As he's going to bed, she's going to see the guy that she's falling for.
"Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
He feels 'sick' that she's off with another man and he refuses to accept it, thinking that it's all in his head and that he's imagining it.
"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside"
Here he's states he's paying the 'price' for having feelings for this girl too fast and he's heartbroken. However his eyes are 'eager' for the next girl to come along and he's the optimistic 'mr brightside'.
