Even if the partner was completely innocent - a "saint", so to speak, the relationship is still being destroyed by the jealousy and insecurity.
The exact same thing's going on here, metaphorically. Women suspected of witchcraft were often thrown into water, and if they drowned were they innocent, if they survived they were a witch, and were to be killed anyway. Think about it: "and it's all in my head".Īnd in the chorus we have "turning saints into the sea". It's about the insecurity and jealousy that can rise up and ruin a relationship, breaking down the trust. My InterpretationMr Brightside isn't about someone cheating on you. 'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
