Analysis of For the longest time

For the longest time,
I have been thinking of "The Killers" as Britpop -
some lose the accent and I thought it was the case with Brandon Flowers,
Is it cheating to say
this was honourary British music?
Angsty is a favourite genre of mine,
for the longest time -
Emo and not so much,
I have never seen Emo in myself,
but I firmly believe that I have punk blood,
if I were to wait a while
I could build a better time machine -
live in the age of Sylvia and be a bard,
for the longest time.
For the longest time I have been wanting to shed my light,
would be a good friend to Oscar W. -
build a better life for the longest time,
I have dreamed about it;
meeting Edgar Allan.
Build me out of clay
and put my head to sleep.
I have been sitting on my pedestals -
tear myself in two, but apart surely not.
Just living, only just -
building up momentum now,
for the longest time.
Building up momentum now,
just off my head enough -
for the longest time,
for the longest time.
