| Right Evry1, since u dont actually no the real lyrics, ill reed them 2 u, firstly IT IS RACY, Racy days, help me thru the hopeless haze, but my oh my. while tragic eyes, i cant even recognize my self beeeehind. and if the answer is no blah blah. next line out again. a siren screems at half past ten, and you wont let go. while i ignore that weve both felt like this b4 it starts to sho. so if i have a chance would u let me no. BRIDGE, Why rnt u shaking? Step back in time, graciously taken, oh ur too kind, and if the anser is no, can i change ur minD? NEXT LINE (were) all the same, and love is blind, the sun is gone b4 it shines, and if the answer is no, can i change ur mind | |

| futurfaildnovlist--I'm with you except for your interpretation of the line "I can't even recognize myself behind" I think it means just that the person being sang about doesn't think about the one singing...he's not on her mind | |

| This is one of the best songs ever written and the Killers are one of the best bands of all time. I love this song so much because its about the feelings almost everyone has had. i agree w/everything futurfaildnovlist said about what it means. | |

| I think this song is about a guy in love with a girl (well, obviously) but even though she rejects him he can't help but be happy. After all, he's in love! That's why he can't recognize himself through 'tragic eyes', because he simply can't understand why he would be depressed about this great feeling he has. He's going to keep trying until this girl finally realizes he's the one for her too. Why anyone would reject Brandon is a mystery to me :) but this is a great, innocent song about how we all should feel when we're in love. I think we can all relate to it. | |

| This song is about the how crazy you feel when you're in love(Racy Days). It's about how this love has blown open your previously stale life(Hopeless haze) But she doesn't love you back, or at least you don't think she does, and you hurt inside(tragic eyes) You dream of asking her, and your not used to seeing yourself this way(can't even recognize) But you don't know what that answer will be, and if it's no, you'll do anything to make it yes(change your mind) You think she loves you too(we've felt like this before) But you're too scared to ask her, so you hide(while i ignore) But you wish that if you have a chance with her, she'd give some positive signal(if i have a chance) We're all the same and love can befall anyone of us at anytime(love is blind) But just as you fall in love and the sunlight begins to break through in your heart, it is cut back by the thought that she'd never have you(the sun is gone) And you just wish to ask her, and make sure her answer is yes, she loves you too(can I change your mind) this is what I think it means, I've felt like this before myself | |
