Reaction: Desperate Things - The Killers - Pressure Machine

The instrumentation in the third verse is something else. The entire song is incredibly eerie. Also, this seems to be one of the tracks where the band is really living up to their name.

Lyrics are so provocative. The impact of your “sin” seems magnified in a small town vs a big town or city. You can remain fairly anonymous in a bigger town or city, whereas in a smaller place, the impact of your actions is bigger

When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams People do desperate things. Powerful lyrics, like a hammer to the heart.

Brandon said in an interview that the cop kills the abusive husband in the last verse! This song is sooo eerie. I kind of love how they leave the end up to interpretation. Also, I am loving your reactions so far!

Yes. In my mind I pictured him throwing the abuser over the canyon.
