The swaggering synth ballad "When the Dreams Run Dry" is an acceptance of death and an embracement of the afterlife. In "Running Towards a Place," lead singer Brandon Flowers speaks of a brighter future, singing, "Because we're running towards a place / Where we'll walk as one / And the sadness of this life / Will be overcome." The album's lead single "Caution" features a ripping guitar solo from Lindsay Buckingham that makes the listener feel invincible. The band's sixth album, "Imploding the Mirage," is a triumphant journey out of the desert packaged in 10 delicious dance jams that distance themselves from the trope of exploring trauma in exchange for an unbreakable optimism.
