Dangerous
&friends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He seems like above the grind
To try and take away the pain
He tells you that his brain is fine
But you can tell that he's insane
So let it go and spit it out
There's nothing left to talk about
Round and round and round we go
Until my heart and brain explode

A ghost left talking in this town
Stuttering without a sound
Looking for something that's true
And slowly turning into you

So hear these words and let it shout
(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)
We're not dumb just full of doubt
(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)
There's something more and I know it's true
(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)
That you are me and I am you

You know he'll walk away again
From previous obligations
When nothing's left for him to say
Except previous frustrations
But victory's a guided truth
So hold your tongue or chip your tooth
Sounds amound around this ground
Until my heart and brain fall down
A ghost left walking in this floor
Stuttering on out the door
Looking for something that's true
And slowly turning into you
(Slowly turning into you)

So hear these words and let it shout
(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)
We're not dumb just full of doubt
(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)
There's something more and I know it's true
(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)
That you are me and I am you

So let it go and spit it out
There's nothing left to talk about
Round and round and round we go
Until my heart and brain explode
A ghost left talking in this town
Stuttering without a sound
Looking for something that's true
And slowly turning into you

(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)
(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)

(There's a fire)
(Burning inside)

Line by Line Meaning

He seems like above the grind
He appears to be unaffected by the everyday struggles and challenges

To try and take away the pain
Attempting to find solace and escape from the emotional distress

He tells you that his brain is fine
He assures you that he is mentally stable

But you can tell that he's insane
However, it is evident that he is mentally disturbed

So let it go and spit it out
Release your emotions and express yourself freely

There's nothing left to talk about
There is no more relevant or meaningful conversation to be had

Round and round and round we go
Caught in an endless cycle of repetition and uncertainty

Until my heart and brain explode
Continuing until the immense emotional and intellectual strain becomes overwhelming

A ghost left talking in this town
A lingering presence, lost and unheard, in this community

Stuttering without a sound
Struggling to convey thoughts and emotions, even though there are no audible words

Looking for something that's true
Searching for authenticity and genuineness in life

And slowly turning into you
Gradually becoming like the person you are connected to

You know he'll walk away again
You are aware that he will leave once more

From previous obligations
Abandoning previous responsibilities and commitments

When nothing's left for him to say
Having nothing of significance or importance to communicate

Except previous frustrations
Except expressing the past disappointments and irritations

But victory's a guided truth
But success is a subjective and manipulated concept

So hold your tongue or chip your tooth
Either remain silent or face the consequence of conflict

Sounds amound around this ground
Noises reverberate throughout this area

Until my heart and brain fall down
Continuing until both the emotions and intellect are completely exhausted

A ghost left walking in this floor
A lingering presence, aimlessly wandering on this path

Stuttering on out the door
Struggling to leave, stumbling upon departure

That you are me and I am you
The interconnectedness and shared identity between two individuals

So hear these words and let it shout
Pay attention to these lyrics and allow them to resonate loudly

(There's a fire)
There is an intense passion or drive

(Burning inside)
Burning deep within

We're not dumb just full of doubt
We are not unintelligent, but rather plagued by uncertainty

There's something more and I know it's true
There exists a deeper reality that I am certain of

That you are me and I am you
The inseparable connection and likeness between you and me
