**__<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">About the lyrics: __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">The key in this song is its title. By calling himself Mr Brightside, the speaker is commenting on how he is incurably optimistic, he always looks at the bright side of any given situation.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">The song is about his propensity for getting overly involved emotionally with women he has only just met, and suffering heartbreak when his love proves to be unrequited. His "destiny" is to continually experience such heartbreak because he always opens up his eager eyes to the next possible paramour.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">To get into a closer reading, look at the first stanza:

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Coming out of my cage <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">And I've been doing just fine <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Gotta gotta be down <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Because I want it all

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Here, he is freeing himself from the emotional restraint that was protecting him from having his heart broken and allowing himself to become interested in a girl. The all that he wants refers to true love, the kind that you can only get if you are willing to give the entirety of yourself to someone else.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">It started out with a kiss <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">How did it end up like this <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">It was only a kiss <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">It was only a kiss

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Here, he's wondering how he's gotten to the point that he cares so deeply about her after just one kiss - the answer is because he allowed himself to invest that kiss with meaning that for her was not there.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">The next couple stanzas basically tell the story of him seeing this girl that kissed him once hanging out with other guys and because he feels so strongly for her, he becomes jealous and angry. It's sort of like a situation where two people made out on a dance floor one night, and the girl felt like she was just having fun whereas the guy thought there was actually a connection.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Where we get the best crystallization of Mr Brightside's true nature and motivation is in the following stanza:

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">But it's just the price I pay <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Destiny is calling me <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Open up my eager eyes <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Here, we should be getting that the price he pays is the intense feelings of jealousy, rage, and heartbreak that come from his penchant for getting too attached too fast. He asserts that it is out of his hands, that this pattern of behavior is simply part of his core personality by referring to it as his destiny. His eyes are eagerfor the next girl that he will fall for, which is sure to happen because he is the perpetually optimistic "Mr Brightside" its always looking for and ready for love.

**__<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Most powerful message: __**

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">The principal message of the song is to try to see the good side always in the diffrent difficulties of life.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">I think that it is a magnificent song and that it transmits to the perfection the message, because we are going to live lots of bad situations and we have to try to see the positive side for understand the situation and adapt better. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">I choose this song because in my live I have passed lots of bad situations and I have continue always by extracting the positive way of this ones, and I feel identified with the letter of this song.
