The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale

[@overcastx3]

i cried to this song too. unbelievably beautiful "and the decades disappear, like sinking ships we persevere, God gives us hope.. but we still fear what we don't know, your mind is poisoned"

[@SuperCabrito14]

One of the most underrated songs of the 2000s

[@chestercunningham6970]

My first girlfriend got me this cd as a gift because she knew it was my favorite band. This was her favorite song. I love that she opened the CD before she gave it to me. I miss her.

[@flanplan5903]

The day and age album came out when I was 9 years old, and this was one of my favorite tracks off of the whole album, hell even my favorite killers song-then again the whole album is amazing. I was far too young to understand the lyrics, but they were poetically beautiful. And then when I was around 14 or 15, I looked up the meaning behind the lyrics-that the young couple who meet and fall in love and age together are actually Brandon’s parents and that last verse is him begging his mom not to leave him, that everyone needs her, which makes the lyrics all the more relatable, but even then the interpretation of the lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways. And the mind is poison in this case is Brandon’s mom’s brain cancer-but it can also be interpreted as Alzeheimer’s or dementia in other cases. This song is amazing live, by the way.

[@joedt1]

I think the mind is poison goes with the sentence before. We still fear what, we don't know, the mind is poison. Fear of death, fear of losing people, fear of everything, it's all in the mind.

[@frankelforever14]

Bit late to the show but you summed it up perfectly, what a song, what a band and on my bucket list to see them

[@urdad492]

and the music video too! amazing

[@teddie_laundry]

"God gives us hope... but we still fear what we don't know, your mind is poisoned" *-Best line ever*

[@fordamusik8654]

Still listening to The Killers in 2022 with as much delight. They're just awesome.

[@flabbergastedpicklerickrol8204]

Went on a 5 day move as a kid and had limited songs on my moms I-tunes, I listened to this on repeat for who knows how long and it’s really does flick a switch in my brain lmao, even besides the weird nostalgia, and his is an awesome song and my music taste now is superb. Oui oui lol

[@mma4life100]

every one of their songs can put me in the greatest mood.

[@missrobynlouise]

The moment I heard this live I'll never forget. Insane ❤️

[@hriczo]

just amazing! they're one of the most talented bands out there.

[@AnetN]

This song tells the story of how Flowers' mother and father met when they were both aged 15 and living on the same trailer park." Given that his mother has cancer, the lyrics make pretty much sense. Now cinderella don't you go to sleep Its such a bitter form of refuge Ahh don't you know the kingdoms under siege And everybody needs you

[@YungMuffin0]

Damn, thanks. Sorry I’m 12 years late

[@ishrojas124]

I love this song so much my favorite Killers song, and I LOVE them

[@midwestdrew775]

I always used to thought it was about breakfast at Tiffany’s, but never looked it up or anything to see what it was actually about. Makes better sense though now.

[@dream-kz8zu]

And here I was thinking it was about the outsiders

[@creatorofidiocy]

THIS REMINDS ME OF MY DAYS IN THE NAVY

[@vcrbetamax]

Same except I wasn’t a squid, I’m not that smart. I remember me and a few other Marines used to listen to this while working. It somehow really resonated with us.

[@YungMuffin0]

It’s been too long since I’ve last heard this song

[@eduardosaguier8944]

This song should be at least 6 Min length, deserves an Extended Version !

[@Harunoakia]

i cried to this song

[@informedconsumer5293]

Almost every time

[@dynamopirate470]

I love when songs can touch your heart. Music is timeless.

[@budap001]

@0Megaman0 Lately every time this song comes up in my play list and he gets to the lyrics "out here the good girls die..." I get the urge to cry, like that feeling in your stomach before the tears where someone's grabbed a vital organ and just pulled downwards. I believe he wrote this song for his mother who died from cancer, so I think that's why the song gets to me, hearing the lyrics and thinking of a son mourning his mother and just wanting her back "Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep".

[@anialopatiuk2467]

Sweet voice,nice melody, excellent arrangement,andBrandon'svoice

[@correoordinario2010]

Now that my grandma passed away this song hits way harder than before.

[@Patricia-xz1vz]

So goodddd ❤️

[@NerdyRockCollector]

love this song!

[@rockondude94]

i think that spaceman and a dustland fairytale are the best songs!

[@zzgrom]

I am nearly there with you.

[@sandygajree7066]

To me I completely lost my faith in God, my peace has come back. Good things are happening now and I've been listening to this song,and I've noticed the lyrics about God and the devil.

[@anialopatiuk2467]

Love theKillers'music

[@miniman058]

beautiful!!!!!!!

[@andykirkland3074]

It’s certainly up there alongside Mr Brightside. For me it has the edge.

[@OTDECK]

NOW CINDERELLA DONT TOUCH GO TO SLEEP! Love that part

[@budap001]

Thanks for the post :)

[@xxxxirishxxxx]

[@petercdowney]

Hard to believe that Brandon Flowers (the youngest member of the Killers) is now more than 40 years old...

[@GimpingFish]

..I saw the devil warping up his hands...

[@sandygajree7066]

How do you interpret this line?

[@potcaddist12313]

I LOVE THIS SONG I HAVE HEARD IT ON LIFE AS A ZOMBIE 3!!!!!!

[@MarcusKiner]

Definitely. New stuff is waaaay more mature (musically), and they realize the world is more than just women, unlike in hot fuss.

[@flanplan5903]

Well, hot fuss did deal with a guy murdering his girlfriend and getting interrogated for it, a man dealing from the fallout of an affair, and a critique on the shallow people of the upper class, so I wouldn’t exactly say that their old stuff wasn’t as mature as their new stuff.

[@99sd3763]

@Flash239 I dunno... Day and Age has nothing on Hot Fuss. But that's just my opinion. I guess I'm a Hot Fuss Era Killers fan, like this girl, and like most people I know too. Still good songs, just not the same awesomeness as the old stuff.

[@neilangus1363]

What a fucking song

[@MarcusKiner]

New stuff>old stuff

[@jayhasfoundya]

yeah i agrreee

[@rockondude94]

well thats a good song too. but spaceman is the awesomest!

[@121GOODNEWSITSMONDAY]

...he's getting ready for the showdown...

[@DeadPool_StaS]

CAPOLAVORO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Eidolin]

i watched this music video before trying to follow the storyline but the greaser guys in the fight look so identical i can't figure out who gets killed and then the rest of the story confuses me x__x like who's who? gahhh

[@lisozeme]

@NakedCreep ARE YOU FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA?

[@XenSmithy]

This song is a single now

[@121GOODNEWSITSMONDAY]

....but she was looking for a night gown....

[@0Megaman0]

Good song and all, but is it just me or is it really sad?

[@omegahaifoleet]

[@GimpingFish]

.... In a party dress....

[@MellowGirl2000]

the way the talk about the guy looks or sounds like me

[@LFCblend1990]

@Russman21 Come to Victoria melbourne mate. ill find you. i can smell killers fans ;)

[@entitysumaya]

@HiddePoel now another two have gone deaf, it's quite sad really...

[@CandyPinkcake]

Where is my prince charming

[@lacrosse22ian]

i disagree there new stuff is good but there old stuff is way better but this song is probably there best new song

[@burtv1610]

Beats JLS and whoever else any day ^-^

[@rickmeeseeks5839]

I always thought of Steve rogers and Peggy carter when I hear this song

[@stefanski48]

Nah the 2 best songs are Human everyone agrees with that and Spaceman.

[@Emerie_Bieds]

@Russman21 because you've never met me

[@jayhasfoundya]

iTs "he looked just like youd want him too some kind of slick chrome american prince" not "looks like you gone into..."

[@TicTacJoe134]

they're talking about vegas. "and where the dreams roll high, where the wind don't blow, out here the good girls die and the sky won't snow." well, they're talking of vegas then.

[@SuperCabrito14]

No, it was about his mom's cancer

[@GimpingFish]

...I saw the ending were they turned the page...

[@ijustwannagetstarted]

out here the good girls die..

[@lisozeme]

@NakedCreep 'Cause you said hella, so you're either from California, or a poser. I'm from Southern California, and we know things. We know. XD

[@GimpingFish]

You've never met me

[@curiouskat03]

@xXblythe I hate those guys too.

[@HiddePoel]

@entitysumaya LOL

[@creatorofidiocy]

lyrics are off by alot ...like why would u even post the lyrics if u didnt understand them???

[@sargentepepper]

[@jonathanspaceman]

I think alot more people are deaf.

[@121GOODNEWSITSMONDAY]

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!

[@petercdowney]
