Danger
ÐÄÁéÃɱÎ(Third Eye Blind) Lyrics

I met you at the barricade
We encountered each other when we were both caught up in a political protest.

It's fever pitch where the crowd had gathered
The emotions of the crowd were at an intense high as they expressed their collective grievances.

You said the bow is breaking
You expressed concern that the situation was escalating to a dangerous level and could soon lead to violence.

You want to get some coffee or something
Despite being in the midst of a tense situation, you wanted to find some moment of normalcy and connection by suggesting we grab coffee.

Float by the crowd that scatters
We traversed through the group of people who were quickly dispersing around us.

I found my people and nothing else matters
Despite the chaos of the situation, I felt a sense of belonging and comfort with the group of people who shared my views and feelings.

Bullhorns that feed back in stormy skies
The bullhorns used by the authorities to address the crowd created an eerie feedback effect in the midst of the tumultuous environment.

No one listens but it's so hot when you try
Although it seemed like the authorities were not hearing the protesters' complaints, there was still a sense of empowerment in making their voices heard and trying to effect change.

You've got a taste for danger
You are drawn to high-risk situations for the exhilaration they bring.

And it turns you on
You are excited and stimulated by this kind of environment.

Just take a look in your face
Your expression clearly reveals your attraction to the danger and excitement of the situation.

I know what's going on
I understand your motivations and impulses in this context.

Tiptoe through the riot
We carefully navigated through the chaos and violence of the protest, trying to avoid getting caught up in any violent confrontations.

Vandals laced and braced for action
Some people in the crowd were prepared to engage in acts of destruction or violence if necessary.

No sense, no consequence
Some people seemed to be acting impulsively, without thinking through the potential consequences of their actions.

You're a green stick fracture
You are young and inexperienced, like a green stick that is more likely to snap under pressure.

Bounce back at you
Your lack of experience and knowledge may come back to haunt you in this dangerous situation.

Beggars stare at the brand new sneakers on the
Even in the midst of the protest, there were still people who were preoccupied with material possessions and status symbols.

Anarchists and celebrity speakers
The diverse group of protesters included both radical anarchists and well-known public figures.

These are improbable days my friends
These are times of great uncertainty and unpredictability for us all.

Tomorrow's mundane
In contrast to the drama and excitement of the current situation, tomorrow will likely be a return to a more ordinary and routine existence.

All good things must end
Even this powerful moment of protest and camaraderie will eventually come to a close.

And the cops told the crowd they must disperse
The authorities ordered the protesters to leave the area and break up their gathering.

Your pretty eyes fall as the tear gas burst
The sight of you being affected by the tear gas used by the authorities was heartbreaking and disturbing.

Here come the horses and we move along
The police on horseback were approaching, and we decided to leave the scene and move to a safer place.

Promise I'll see you but the moment is gone
Although we vowed to stay connected, this powerful moment in time has passed and we may never experience it again.

You're shocked when the spray can splatters
The suddenness and violence of the police response caught you off guard and was shocking.

Deliver us from the chumps and suckers
We hope to be saved from the foolishness and manipulation of those in power who seek to exploit us.

You and me killing time in the present tense
During this intense moment of protest, we were focused on the present and the sense of urgency it required.

Bound together by someone to fight against
Our shared commitment to fighting against injustice and oppression brought us together in a powerful and unbreakable bond.

I used to be a dissident citizen
I have a history of opposing authority and standing up for what I believe in, even when it is difficult or unpopular.
