The Killers: Andy, You're A Star Meaning

Andy, You're A Star Lyrics

On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the mats with the boys, you think you're all alone
With the pain that you drain from...

   I was watching videos of the song on Youtube and a few comments were from people who claim to go to the same high school Brandon went to. They say Andy was a wrestling star who made fun of Brandon for being gay in high school. Andy tried to become a pro wrestler but failed and now works at the same high school, at which his father is the principal of. They also say that Brandon and the other Killers visited Andy after he became famous while Andy was just a loser and sang this song to him. At least that's what the comments say.
   
   Also, I think iTunes says it's about a stalker.

   First off, you guys have it ALL wrong. The Killers are from this little ol' town in Utah called Nephi. I know because I live here and I've been to the house where the used to rehearse at before they got all big and famous.
   
   This song is about this guy, his name is Andy Messersmith. He's a total douche bag, he was my gym teacher last year and this song makes fun of him. Andy used to pick on the singer when they were in school. Would you have a gay crush on the guy that made your high school career hell?? Didn't think so.

   you know, Brandon Flowers is not gay!!!! He has a wife and just recently had his second kid, gunner flowers and he has a 2 year old Addon. He's not gay so just get that stupid stereo type out of your head. Brandon explained in an interview about the song human that "it may be wrong grammar (are human or are we dancer) but i can do what ever i want, right? hahah."

   I think that it's "on the mats with the boys" as in wrestling. Not "match with the boys". I believe the whole stalker thing.

   I actually do think this song could connect to Jenny had a friend of mine. I believe that This song is jenny's prespective of one of her crushes.
   
   I also think Hot Fuss is all about jenny's murder, it's just a thought.

    This is really annoying me that everyone automatically goes straight for, this song is about a gay guy! Who says it's about a guy at all? The singer's point of view might be a girl. Who knows. It would still account for the sadness of Andy having a girl in his car. Just because the singer is a guy doesn't mean it's his story.

    I think that yes, Andy is some sort of athlete, but I am fairly certain that Andy is a girl. Just from the line "On the match with the boys, you think you're all alone". I think she plays football or something where she is the only girl and people think its weird, "Andy, you're a star, in nobody's eyes but mine" The singer thinks she's great. When he says "promise me she's not your world" he's hoping that she's not gay.I guess people think she is because she plays football with the guys.

    ok this may not be true however i read from another blog that "andy" in the song is a reference to andy mesersmith, brandons high school gym teacher. throughout his schooling he bullied him and stole his girlfriend.
    
    with that in mind it is possible that he is not admiring him rather poking fun at andy with very sarcastic lyrics. so the song could be a satire making fun of andy.
    
    "on the match with the boys you think youre alone"
    my interpretation is that despite playing a team game andy is alone because he is a talented sportsman and stands out amongst the reast.

    I have no idea myself where I'm going with this, but maybe Andy is a girl, and she's a sports star.

    I like to think that Andy, though a football star, has problems with his personal life. The only place he really gets noticed is on the field. His girlfriend approaches Brandon and leaves her number, promising him she's not Andy's world. Brandon obviously refuses, and feels sorry for Andy. He feels Andy is a star off the field, too.
