All the Pretty Faces Lyrics

Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like loving you no more
I don't feel like loving you no more

Help me out, I need it
I don't feel like touching her no more
Help me out, I need it
I said I don't feel like touching her no more
Well how...

    Personally, I don’t think there are two girls he loves. I think what he doesn’t want to love anymore is ...the fame or possibly drugs or alcohol, something (not someone) like that. It’s caused him to go numb to the woman he loves and because he absolutely does love her, he wishes he could stop loving his other life and all the “beautiful people”/“pretty faces” so much. The alluring, addictive, all consuming sins that define the lives (and often deaths) of every young hot rock star.

    Sounds like a twisted version of Jodi Arias. Isn't that what he said to her before she sliced him up? "I don't feel like fucking you anymore?". The rest is open to interpretation. Mormons

    I think this song is very confusing... because it says things like: "I don't feel like I loving you no more" and "I don't feel like touching her no more". It's like he's singing for two girls. He's telling her that he doesn't feel like loving her no more, and then he's singing to another girl: I don't feel like touching her no more". He looks like telling to another girl that he doesn't love her exgirlfriend no more. And the rest of the song seems like to someone he wants to be.

    I can relate to this song quite a lot, partly cos i was in a similar relationship situation. But i think that the narrator of the song has spent some kind of time away from the woman he fell in love with and has returned with different feelings. He's lost the feelings [i dont feel like loving her] and he's lost physical attraction as well [i dont feel like touching her], but when he says that he'd do anything to be her man i think he is harking back to the 'good times'. Maybe he's not fully accepted that he's had enough of this girl, even though he knows all the feelings have gone, but he'd still like it to be like it used to be

    I feel like he's basically saying his girlfriend is someone he fell completely in love with and thought only of her for however long, and now suddenly he's not interested in her as much and perhaps has found someone else. However, he still cares about her and feels she'll be a part of his life forever.

    As someone with a background similar to Brandon Flower's, it's quite simple. The narrator has returned from serving a mission ("in a strange land for two long years") and he realizes that he has changed and is no longer in love with his girlfriend.

    I think the narrator is going between just being done with his relationship with the girl and being completely possessive over her. "I don't want you, but I don't want anyone else to have you either."

    He says i don't feel like touching her any more, this could mean many things, maby that he is falling out of love with someone, and that his attraction for them has gone. I think what he describes as a strange land, is him being in a prison cell, a place he isn't used to, it's strange. The song has different meaning, variating, from when he doesn't want her any more, to where he wants o be her man, and will do anything for her. It's a touch one, these are just opinions, but i'd like to hear what you think. :)
