Sitting here on the bed,
Trying to clear my head,
But Brooke you just won't budge,
So I look back instead,
Why'd you go away?
Useless when I say,
Hey,
Baby I'll be the best
'Cause I'm a jealous mess,
So wash your hands from all this dirt,
And take my words for what they're worth,
Baby I'll be the best,
But you stand to protest,
And my stomach has been so abused,
Your confusions got me so confused,
But everything will be alright
If I get trashed tonight.

Have u guys carefully paid attention to this song… The lyrics are so fkn painful. I tried to put myself in this guy position n this is what I got…
“y u’d go away useless when I say baby I’ll b the best…”
like I didn’t give u any reason to leave, but now u don’t care what I have to say, no matter what u’ll leave.
“wash ur hands from all this dirt”
As in Pilates washing his hands, like you ddnt do anything wrong n putting everything on me, making me feel like I’m the guilty, I’m the only responsible…
“my stomach has bn so abused”
By all the alcohol? By the feelings inside?? What a feeling…
“ur confusions got me so confused”
U don’t even know what u want.. How should I know??? So I try to repair whatever I did wrong but u just don’t know what is it…
“but everything will b alright if I get trashed tonite”
Fuck tht shit.. I really tried, I did my best but she don’t care abt anything… They say u forget when u drink so fuck this shit, I’ll drink it all, I’ll get trashed n wasted so I won’t feel this pain, everything will be alright if I get trashed tonite.
Brandon has many great ideas in his mind. Look at this song, man awesome!
The killers are the best band ever.
I think brandon is drunk. He's girlfriend is gone but he dosent want that to happen.
Plus his girlfriend might have done something that disappointed him. "coz i'm a jealous mess","my stomach has been so abused" explains his jealousy.
By coincidence, my friend sent me Get Trashed at pretty much the exact same time this happened and the song immediately stuck with me and has ever since. Especially the "Your confusion's got me so confused" line (she was deeply confused about whether to go out with me or not), plus the fact that I tend to drink a lot anyway to drown my sorrows.
Of course, the proper meaning is slightly different as has been explained already, but the song is special to me for the reasons above. Seeking solace in getting trashed.
Kind of weird. I'm not sure if I exactly like the scraping noise (whatever it is! ???). Actually, I hate it.
The song is okay. But not the best. The echoing is annoying. The lyrics are okay though. Still got to think on this, since i've only heard it once.
I admire you, ShotgunXXWedding. I have agreed with every single one of your comments on the Killers that I have seen, and that is pretty much all of them. Thank you for sharing your insight with all of us.
