GREEN
Andy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I define it as the silent
Things I do to keep the peace
I might be badass half the time
Hold on I've got a sweet side underneath
I couple my bouts of going MIA
With a little bit charm and my smile on display
I ain't plan to be long sorry for the delay
Let's leave the past in the past, that was yesterday
You think I'm dangerous baby
But I got a lot of green flags
I've got a lot of green flags too
Don't think I'm dangerous baby
Cause I got a lot of green flags
I've got a lot of green flags too
I be carrying my swords with me all around
Strong enough to pick up yours when you put 'em down
Talking it out with out putting you down
Patience in tune with my emotions
Depth rivalling oceans
Easy to think I'm shady
Hate me then love me, then love to hate me
And hate to love me
I know my heart, it got a lot of room
I had to fix it up but it's capable
I pride myself on tryna find the root
Just imagine if i only seen the bad in you
You think I'm dangerous baby
But I got a lot of green flags
I've got a lot of green flags too
Don't think I'm dangerous baby
Cause I got a lot of green flags
I've got a lot of green flags too
Let me name a few for you
I confront all of my sins
It make me feel like a man
Always digging deep within
Finding out just what love is
I know that I'm good friend
Yearning to be an even better man
It'll come in due time
It's all according to plan
Yes, I am determined
Teach me, I love learning
I keep me a purpose
I stay in my bag, Bushwick Birkin shit
You think I'm dangerous baby
But I got a lot of green flags
I've got a lot of green flags too
Don't think I'm dangerous baby
Cause I got a lot of green flags
I've got a lot of green flags too
Let me name a few for you
I confront all of my sins
It make me feel like a man
Always digging deep within
Finding out just what love is
Ooh oh oh oh
Aye aye aye aye
Don't think I'm dangerous baby
Cause I got a lot of green flags
I got a lot of green
I got a lot of green
Oh baby




Ooh oh oh oh
Aye aye aye aye

Overall Meaning

The song "Green" by Andy is an introspective piece that emphasizes the fact that sometimes the things we do to keep the peace are overlooked by others. The lyrics are about the unnoticed positivity in a person's behavior and character that often goes unnoticed, leading to them being unfairly judged as dangerous. Andy uses the metaphor of the color green to symbolize positive things that are often overlooked but are as essential as the notorious red flags.


The beginning of the song highlights the silent things the singer does to keep things peaceful when they might be considered a badass. They emphasize the importance of not judging people based on their appearances or surface-level character traits. Further, the song explores the idea of growth and self-improvement, as the singer acknowledges their past mistakes and faults but highlights how they've worked to fix them. Through various examples like confronting personal flaws, actively seeking solutions, and constantly striving towards self-betterment, the song emphasizes the positive attributes "green flags" that make one not-so-dangerous.


The song's overarching message is that one's character is defined by both their positive and negative traits. And also, the good traits that often go unnoticed reveal who they truly are.

If we ever invent time travel, or if it's possible, they should go back in time, get someone from the 1800s who thought 20mph was too fast, and put them in this jet car.

@andrewbailey7999

Well Thrust 2 had a passenger seat, so if you took them to the 1980s you could do just that

@Username-lw1ei

Bro you are literally gonna give them a heart attack from the amount of speed and g forces

If we ever discover time travel you would have already known because someone would have already travelled to the past.

@prophetfuture9225

@@josephruizdepaz5061 Possible, but at least with current physics the only travel that is even theoretically possible is to go back in time by moving faster than light. So even then getting trapped in an alternate timeline in the past would kind of blow.
