In a reference to the song "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers, a brightside is someone who is jealous of his/her ex's new beau.

"He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control"
"Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside"

Mr Brightside or a Brightside is someone who is jealous of another person who is with the person they want. This is taken from The Killers' song Mr Brightside.
"And I'm falling asleep, and shes calling a cab, while he's having a smoke, and she's takin' a drag, now they're goin' to bed, and my stomach is sick, and its all in my head but she's touching his ... chest now, he takes off her dress, now LET ME GO"

"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibi, but its just the price I pay, destiny is calling me, open up my eager eyes, cause I'm Mr Brightside"
