Now, who out there has seen Beartooth live before? Anybody? That’s very good
Now, do we have any first timers here in the house? First timers, where are you? Now, as you might have guessed, with this being our hometown, I have played a lot of fu*king shows in Columbus, Ohio. Lot of shows. And I have a feeling that we have some of the loudest singers that we have ever played to in the fu*king house tonight, so. By show of hands, how many singers are in the house? Singers, where are you? How about like, do we have any professional singers? Like, the best singers in the fu*king world, anybody? I see like three or four. Now… Now, I’m gonna call bulls*it on this, now. I feel like, I feel like I got about half of you to put your hands up. Now, here’s what we’re gonna do. On the count of three, you are going to make the loudest noise you have ever made in your fu*king life, so take a deep breath. One, two, three! You see? That’s all singing is. That’s all this whole show is about. It’s about letting go
I know the world is fu*king, we all know that life can be absolutely fu*ked. But here? Here at a Beartooth show? Oh, that is not the case. That is not the case. We are here to provide you with sanctuary. We are here to provide you with a place to let all of your s*it go. Just like I said earlier. It’s magical, I promise you. So, all I ask, is you believe, just a little bit. And what can happen, when you sing as loud as you fu*king can, ’cause I promise you, it has changed my entire fu*king life. So. I have been waiting for one whole fu*king year to play this very song that I’m about to play. And I have played it many times to many audiences. But tonight? This is gonna be the loudest it has ever been. So, let’s have some fun with it. Let’s see if you know this one. Ah-he-hem
It’s “Mr. Brightside”, you know it. So sing it as loud as you can
[Verse 1: Caleb Shomo & Crowd]
I’m coming out of my cage and I’ve been doing just fin
otta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep and she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke and she’s taking a drag
And they’re going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head, but she’s touching his
[Pre-Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can’t look, it’s killing me
And taking control
[Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside

Mr. Brightside Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Caleb Shomo]
Caleb kicks off the show sounding totally overwhelmed but in the best way. He’s clearly emotional, like he can’t even believe what’s happening around him. He’s back at the Schottenstein Center, a place that holds a huge memory for him—it’s where he saw his very first concert when he was only five years old. Now, after nearly three decades, he’s not just attending but actually headlining a concert there with his own band, Beartooth. That realization hits hard for him, and you can hear the mix of disbelief, pride, and joy in his voice. He’s having a bit of a “full circle” moment and sharing that with the crowd makes everything feel super personal and real.
Then he switches the energy up and starts getting the crowd involved. He asks how many people have seen Beartooth before and then gives a warm shoutout to the newcomers, making everyone feel like they belong. Since they’re in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, this show is clearly special to him—he’s played there a bunch of times, but this one feels different. He’s hyped up about the crowd and has a feeling they’re going to be louder and more passionate than ever.
Caleb starts joking with the audience, asking how many people think of themselves as singers, even going as far as calling out those who raised their hands halfway, playfully calling “bulls\*\*t.” Then he sets up a moment: he wants everyone to just scream their lungs out on the count of three. And when they do? That’s it—that’s what singing is really about in his eyes. It’s not about being perfect or trained, it’s about letting go of whatever’s weighing you down and just feeling the moment.
From there, things get a little more heartfelt. He acknowledges how hard life can be, how messed up the world can feel, but he says that here at a Beartooth show, things are different. The space they’ve created with their music and their fans is something safe and freeing. It’s a place to drop the baggage, scream, sing, and just be yourself. He wants people to believe in that, even just a little, because he’s experienced firsthand how powerful it can be. That kind of singing, that kind of release—it literally changed his life.
He wraps it up by saying he’s been waiting a full year to play the next song, and even though he’s performed it many times before, tonight is different. He feels like this crowd is going to take it to another level. He sets the stage with excitement, anticipation, and connection, and then drops the b0mb: they’re about to play “Mr. Brightside.” And he doesn’t just want to play it—he wants everyone to scream it, live it, feel it. It’s not just a cover; it’s a moment of shared release.
[Verse 1: Caleb Shomo & Crowd]
This part dives right into a storm of emotions. The guy singing feels like he’s finally trying to break free of something, like a mental cage he’s been stuck in. Things started out innocent—just a kiss—but suddenly it’s spiraling into jealousy and suspicion. He imagines his partner with someone else, even though it was supposed to be nothing. His thoughts run wild as he pictures her leaving, getting in a cab, while this other guy’s smoking, and maybe they’re going home together. It’s all probably in his head, but it still makes him physically sick.
[Pre-Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
Here, he’s watching the scene unfold in his mind and it’s torturing him. The idea of her getting close to someone else, even undressing with him, is too much. He wants to let go, to stop obsessing, but he can’t—it’s like the jealousy has taken over.
[Chorus: Caleb Shomo]
This section is about how intense jealousy can mess with your head and heart. Even the purest people can turn bitter and twisted from it. He’s drowning in sad thoughts, unable to believe the excuses or stories he’s being told. Still, he tries to accept that maybe this pain is just part of his fate. Something deep inside is telling him to keep his eyes open and face the truth, because this jealousy has made him into “Mr. Brightside”—someone who always expects the worst but can’t stop hoping.
