For Reasons Unknown
The Killers(殺手樂團) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
Well, my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes - they don't see you no more
And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

It was an open chair
We sat down in the open chair
I said, if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
But my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes - they don't see you no more
And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you at all

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

I said, my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more
And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Killers' song "For Reasons Unknown" describe an individual in the act of leaving or moving towards something unknown, for reasons unknown. The opening lines, "I pack my case, I check my face, I look a little bit older, I look a little bit colder" communicate the sense of detachment, weariness, and vulnerability that come with undertaking a journey into the unknown. The refrain "For reasons unknown" serves to emphasize the enigmatic nature of the singer's decision and the sense of inevitability surrounding it.

As the song progresses, the singer expresses the idea that destiny or fate may be at play, stating: "I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind." However, there is an ongoing feeling of dissatisfaction, as the singer's heart, eyes, and lips no longer function as they used to, and they struggle to recognize someone they once knew.

The final lines of the song suggest a lack of resolution, with the singer repeating "For reasons unknown" as they face an uncertain future. The overall mood of the song is one of introspection, uncertainty, and melancholy, as the singer grapples with an important decision and the consequences that come with it.

Line by Line Meaning

I pack my case, I check my face
I prepare for a journey, making sure I'm presentable

I look a little bit older
I appear slightly more mature

I look a little bit colder
I seem less approachable

With one deep breath, and one big step
I gather my courage and take a significant move forward

I move a little bit closer, I move a little bit closer
I approach something or someone with determination

For reasons unknown
I am motivated by something unclear or uncertain

I caught my stride, I flew and flied
I found my rhythm and moved swiftly

I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
If fate is in my favor, I have everything else under control

Well, my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
My emotions have changed and I don't feel the same

And my eyes - they don't see you no more
I don't perceive you in the same way

And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
Intimacy with you is no longer the same

And my eyes don't recognize you no more
I am unfamiliar with who you've become

It was an open chair
An opportunity presented itself

We sat down in the open chair
We took advantage of the opportunity

I said, if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
I remain confident about the outcome if fate is on my side

And my eyes don't recognize you at all
I don't recognize you in any way

For reasons unknown
I am still motivated by something unclear

I said, my heart - it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
I reiterate that my emotions have changed significantly

And my eyes don't recognize you no more
I again state that I am no longer familiar with who you've become

And my lips - they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
I repeat that intimacy with you is not the same

For reasons unknown
I continue to be driven by something vague

For reasons unknown
I am still motivated by something uncertain

For reasons unknown
I remain motivated by something unclear

For reasons unknown
I continue to be driven by something vague

@@guapoboy101 it’s okay to feel like you’re in a black hole :) people fail to realize the only way you heal true hurt is too actually feel the hurt. It’s the only way to heal. Mourn, be upset, ask questions, cry and be completely sad. Eventually it’ll get to a point that you’ll feel like you’ll never get over it. Days pass and weeks and you’ll slowly feel just okay.

Hell to be honest, I even cried when I realized I finally moved on because it meant it was fully over. But I felt free. I’ve learned so much over that relationship, what I like and don’t like. Use that relationship of the past as a helping tool for your future relationships to not repeat the same mistake again :)
I’m sorry you’re hurt, but this feeling of hurt let’s you realize the love was real and that the relationship meant a lot to you. Some people either can’t come close to that feeling or will never get experience the feeling because they haven’t found love.

I know it feels like the most important person just left from your life. Please understand the most important person is yourself. Don’t ignore the feelings. And yeah, I did drink during the times I was sad, but when I saw myself rely on it I realized I had to start feeling the feelings raw and sober.
It’s uncomfortable, feelings are uncomfortable especially when you’re sad or angry. However, give your heart the chance to heal properly and mind to learn from this, it may change who you are and that’s okay
As long as you get better from who you were before and not worse

I hope this reaches you and I hope you’ll feel better through time ❣️
Healing really is through feeling and time

This Sunday it will be 6 months that my sister passed away (Fuck Cancer, she was 35) and listening to this song takes me back to a time when I could just dial the phone and hear her voice....how I long for those days...how this song takes me there....the it ends and I come back to realize I can't ever reach her again...

Will be 10 years this January for my sister passing away, she got sick on a Monday and died that Friday. This song does the same for me, everything has changed and so did I. It comes back in time, the loss never heals but the days get better in time. long as you said I love you at the end of every conversation before she passed, that makes the healing better. My brother decided the argument they were in wasn't worth getting over to call her. He lives with major guilt and won't even visit her grave, because his ignorance didn't let him answer the phone to talk with her. best advice I have, don't let petty shit hold you back when it comes to family and love them even if you hate them.

+Robert Mazzeo thank you so much....your words are heavy with truth and honesty and pain that we both share.

I am sorry for your loss and I accompany you in the pain we now call our lives

When I first heard this song, I was heart broken from my first serious relationship. I was going off to a new city and my first year in university, but I felt confident after hearing this song that I would be alright. I’m now six months from graduation and in a new loving, healthy relationship. The first serious one since then. Time really heals, I pray for you all, it’ll be okay 💕

One of the most underrated bands. This song is the epitome of an awakening. A breakup, life. Love it then. Now . Forever.

Brandon Flowers is playing bass for reasons unknown

@minorsecondmusic4707

10y↑89

Because someone needed to play the 2nd guitar live, and I guess Brandon can't play guitar, so they had the bassist play guitar, and Brandon play bass (this was before they had the second guitarist play live with them).

So, we still don't know the reasons behind the need for two guitars. The search continues.

Yes Brandon also plays bass for some songs when playing live, if a 2nd guitar is needed. It's a treat to watch

Next July I finally get to see/hear the killers in concert. I bought tickets a couple years ago for their concert in Amsterdam, then Covid happened.... I was devastated. A few days ago they rescheduled it and, since then, i have even trouble sleeping haha Can´t wait to see them playing this (my fav song) and the rest of their songs... A dream comes true!!

They played it tonight! The best part of the concert for me!

This is my favourite band and it's going to be forever, it's my childhood and adolescence I love them so much and they helped me so much, I was lucky enough to go to one of their concerts and I cried so fricking much and I was so young at that moment. It has been 7 or 8 years since that concert and omg i wish i could repeat that moment because it was one of the best of my entire life

Lmao I think the thing I love most about the Killers is that they often do these really moving music videos, stuff like 'A Dustland Fairytale' or 'Miss Atomic Bomb', or stuff that's a bit wacky but has deeper connotation like "Spaceman" and "When you were young", but then other times they just go 'fuck it' and just chill for a bit lol.

I've seen quite a few artists do stuff like that while singing, even I do that sometimes when I sing. Alex turner from the arctic monkeys even completely shuts his eyes while singing! Fuckin love the killers though, this is one of my favourite songs!
