Brandon Flowers being the lyricist for The Killers, and him being a devout Christian, alot of the Killers songs have religous undertones. In this song for example. The majority of the song, he is talking directly to God sayin that "he" consoles him in his darkest hour, and tell me that you always here my cries. I think that this song is about his internal stuggle to adapt his beliefs to a new understanding of the world. "Convince me that the truth is always grey" is the most profound line in the the song to me because when you ponder and question life from a christian perspective, alot of things dont add up, but when you start making sense of it and still maintain your essential christian values, the sense attained doest go with the traditonal christian view hence, "Go run and tell your friends im loosing touch." Using the word friends to refer to local traditional christain leaders, like pastors and preachers or even friends and family. i have other interpretations for the other lines like "velvet chair" he's refering to royalty, Jahova the king of kings. "impending doom" obviously hell. "the ghost you cast away" Satan. Thats how I see it, let me know if you agree or at least understand where i'm coming from.

The worst part is that it makes more sense if you think of it as coming from a Mormon who has in the past struggled with his faith. -___-

PS Mormons consider themselves Christians just a lot of Christians are picky on including others (ie some don't include Catholicism which was the foundation of almost all Christianity.) onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/guestvoices/2007/12/are_mormons_christians.html I know it was forever ago lol but still!
