“For Reasons Unknown” was released as the fourth single off of Sam’s Town. It never charted in the United States and reached 53 on the UK Singles Charts.
The song may come off as lead singer Brandon Flowers singing about lost love, which in a sense he is, but in fact he is describing his grandmothe...
[Verse 1]
I pack my case. I check my face
I look a little bit older
I look a little bit colder
With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer
I move a little bit closer
For reasons unknown
[Verse 2]
I caught my stride
I flew and flied
I know if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind

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
[Outro]
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

“We wrote it on the road, while we were touring with Louis XIV. It was written really quickly, and it’s got a real urgency about it because of that. We recorded it live, and I’m playing bass on it – that’s the only song on any Killers record where I play bass.” – Brandon Flowers writing for NME, Nov...
