Danger Man
Escape the Shadows: A Tale of Love, Betrayal, and Pursuit
Lyrics
Running scared through the heat of the night
Feeling frightened while running through the hot night
Darkened streets go to keep out of sight
Staying in shadowy streets to avoid being seen
There's a man in town who wants to gun me down
There's someone in town aiming to harm the narrator
Silly girl, cheating on him
Referring to a woman who cheated on the dangerous man
They're after me, and I'm out on a limb
The narrator is being pursued, feeling vulnerable
No place to go, no place I know
No safe place to escape to
I'm a danger man a danger man
Identifying as a danger man who needs to escape
Got to get away while I can
Expressing urgency to escape from the danger
There's a man in Black
Introducing a menacing character dressed in black
A gun at my back
Being threatened with a gun from behind
And I don't want to, don't want to be
Expressing reluctance to become a danger man
A danger man,
Reiterating the identity as a danger man
She was a girl in 1 million you see
Describing the girl as extraordinary
We fell in love now he's after me
They fell in love, leading to the threat from the other man
And I'm on the run from the man with a gun
Narrator is fleeing from a gun-wielding pursuer
They're getting closer hard on my tail
The threat is getting closer, and escape is challenging
I'm getting scared in case I should fail
Feeling fear of failure and its consequences
She'll never know, she'll never know
The girl remains unaware of the narrator's danger
I'm in danger man, a danger man
Reaffirming the identity as a danger man
Got to get away while I can
Emphasizing the need for immediate escape
There's a man in Black
Reintroducing the man in black with a gun
A gun at my back
Highlighting the imminent threat from behind
And I don't want to, don't want to be
Reiterating the reluctance to be a danger man
A danger man danger man
Restating the identity as a danger man
I don't want to be a danger man
Expressing a desire to avoid being a danger man
I don't wanna be a danger man
Continuing the refusal to be a danger man
