Read My Mind de The Killers aborda temas de esperanza, ambición y el deseo de escapar. Creada durante un período de tensión dentro de la banda mientras grababan su segundo álbum en Londres, la pista surgió como un momento de unión. Se inspiró en la lucha por alcanzar los sueños de uno y la resolución para perseverar. La canción ha sido ampliamente elogiada por sus letras poéticas y su sonido expansivo.
