A Dangerous Thing
Aurora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something about you is soft like an angel
And something inside you is violence and danger
I knew from the moment we met
You are a dangerous thing

When you are with me, I feel like I'm living
And living beside you can be unforgiving
I knew from the very first step
You are a dangerous thing

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

Something about you is warm and sedusive
And when you're with me, you're cold and abusive
I knew from the second we met
You are a dangerous flame
You are a dangerous flame

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

I don't think I know myself
Without your hell
Oh, I wonder why I got
A heaven deep inside of me
I keep the light on
It keeps me warm
I hate it when I fall for your illusion of love
I know this is not love

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
There's no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

No love in the end




No love in the end
No love in the end

Overall Meaning

In "A Dangerous Thing," Aurora explores the dichotomy of a person who is both soft and dangerous. The lyrics suggest that the person she is singing about has a warm, seductive side as well as a cold, abusive side. Aurora sings, "Something about you is soft like an angel and something inside you is violence and danger." She also acknowledges the dangerous aspects of this person, singing, "You are a dangerous thing," and "You are a dangerous flame."


The chorus of the song explores the idea that there is no love to be found in this relationship, but yet, Aurora keeps returning. She sings, "There's no love in the end, I hope you will come. I keep on losing feathers, I keep forgetting. There's no love in the end." Despite the fact that there is no love to be found, Aurora is drawn to this person and can't seem to let go.


The song touches on the idea of falling for someone who is not good for us, and the danger that lies in getting too close to someone who is both alluring and destructive. Aurora's delivery is haunting and vulnerable, underscoring the perilous nature of this type of relationship.

Notice in the bridge of the song, every sentence starts with "I".

"I don’t think I know myself, without your help
I wonder why, how you got a heaven deep inside of me
I keep the light on, it keeps me warm
I hate it when I fall for your illusion of love
I know this is not love"

She's finally realizing her lost self in the abusive relationship...She's finally reclaiming her worth.

@@johnny-jonathanjon-johnson3965 I have OCPD and a very strong sense of independence too, so it can be hard to understand, but sometimes I do indeed feel caged by a situation, hopeless, and like nothing else I'd do would make anything better.
Generally what I'm saying is that it's complicated. It's great to hear she managed to break free.
I'm currently stuck without a job because I need to take care of my mother with severe dementia and a ton of other issues, I feel I may not "have a life" for years to come, or that my life is gone. But we carry on in hopes that things will get better but it's always much much slower than we imagined, and it takes a stronger will than mine to get a breakthrough. I do not understand how anyone can be stronger than this. I've had 10-20 years of depression too, the world has just never kept throwing things this way, every step forward there's 2 steps back. I don't get it, but there's no choice. I made a decision long ago, I live for my friends, and for my family, but they don't know it.
They've realized more of my troubles in recent years though but I wouldn't want to make the people I care most about depressed either so they only get the tip of the iceberg.

Went off there... well it helps to write it somewhere, share it with someone.

I don't understand how anyone can be stronger than this.

I want my life back but it won't happen.

We just have to make the best of what we've got

That probably won't be anything special, especially not to satiate OCPD levels of expectations to yourself, but what else is there to do?

Maybe this comment can help someone. I don't know. I never stopped wanting to make a difference in the world, improve it. Universal thinking does not help... but I can say artists like Aurora definitely does help, and that people can come together and find that, it's just not them.

Take care everyone and keep on fighting

Lyrics :

Something about you is soft like an angel
And something inside you is violence and danger
I knew from the moment we met, you are a dangerous thing
When you are with me, I feel like I’m living
And living besides you can be unforgiving
I knew from the very first step, you are a dangerous thing

here’s no end to the fall
You keep on getting better, I keep forgetting
There’s no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers, I keep forgetting
There’s no love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end


Some thing about you is warm and sedusive, and
When you’re with me you’re cold and abusive
I knew from the second we met, you are a dangerous flame
You are a dangerous flame


There’s no end to the fall
You keep on getting better, I keep forgetting
There’s no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers, I keep forgetting
There’s no love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end


I don’t think I know myself, without your help
I wonder why, how you got a heaven deep inside of me
I keep the light on, it keeps me warm
I hate it when I fall for your illusion of love
I know this is not love


There’s no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
There’s no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers, I keep forgetting
There’s no love in the end
There’s no end to the fall
You keep on getting better, I keep forgetting
There’s no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers, I keep forgetting
There’s no love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end


No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

Something about you is soft like an angel

I knew from the very first step, you are a dangerous thing

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better, I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end

I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers, I keep forgetting

imo this album shows a remarkable growth in Aurora, obviously with more experiences in her life, and she just seems more mature than ever. and also her way of delivering the stories is more straightforward kinda. so it feels like we're discovering more sides of her. I'm loving it so much♡

@challengemeneo

Yessss

@conq1273

True. Watching things grows is fun just like watching your children changes and gained more personality. Let's hope we can watch the final evolution of Aurora
