Dangerous
Navigating Life's Edge: The Perilous Reflections of 'Dangerous'
Lyrics
Thought I saw you at an unmarked crossing
Perceived someone resembling the person at an intersection without clear signs
Picking flowers at the edge of a lane
Gathering flowers near the side of a road or path
There was dust on my windshield
There was dirt or grime on the windshield of the speaker's vehicle
I was looking in the mirror
The speaker was introspective, examining themselves in the mirror
I was almost hit by a train
The speaker narrowly avoided being struck by a train
Later on at a four-way stop
At an intersection where four roads meet, the speaker made an error in their turn
I forgot to take my turn
The speaker forgot their proper driving maneuver
I was thinking you were right
Thinking the other person was correct, and the relationship had reached an impasse
And we had nothing left
The feeling that the relationship had nothing more to offer
Somebody blew their horn
Another vehicle signaled or alerted the speaker with their horn
I'm dangerous
The speaker acknowledges their own dangerous nature, posing a threat to themselves
I'm dangerous
-I'm dangerous
-To myself
-Yesterday I was out on the bluffs
The speaker was at a cliffside overlooking the sea
Over the ocean blue
Looking at the vast, open ocean
There was a girl swimming
A girl was swimming in the ocean
Splashing in the water
Enjoying and playing in the water
She sure did look like you
The girl resembled someone important to the speaker
Before I knew it I was over the edge
The speaker found themselves in a precarious situation
Somebody threw me a line
Someone helped or intervened to save the speaker
Pulled me to safety
Rescued from danger
Said, "Man are you crazy?"
Another person questioned the speaker's actions
I said, "No, I've lost my mind"
The speaker felt they had lost control of their thoughts
I'm dangerous
Reiteration of the speaker's self-awareness about their dangerous tendencies
I'm dangerous
-I'm dangerous
-To myself
-So darling if you're thinking you need a project
Suggesting to a loved one that they could assist with the speaker's issues
You might want to lend a hand
Inviting assistance or involvement from the mentioned person
I'm living on the corner
Metaphorical location indicating the speaker's state of mind at the intersection of recklessness and foolishness
Of Stupidity and Recklessness
The speaker admits their residence in a risky mental state
I'm a dangerous man
Describing oneself as someone inherently hazardous
I'm dangerous
Continued acknowledgment of self-endangerment
I'm dangerous
-I'm dangerous
-To myself
-I'm dangerous
Reiteration of the speaker's self-perception as a danger to themselves
I'm dangerous
-I'm dangerous
-To myself
-I'm dangerous
Further affirmation of the speaker's recognition of their own dangerous nature
I'm dangerous
-I'm dangerous
-To myself
