Singer Ted Poley and guitarist Andy Timmons left the band after "Screw It!" was released (and having recorded a third album which got shelved). The band brought in Paul Laine to replace Poley for 1995's "Dawn" and on.
In 2001, Laine would record vocals for the shelved album they had recorded with Poley. Fans wanted to hear both singers, so they released this album, "Cockroach" as a 2-disc set, both discs having the same songs (Laine's had a bonus track), the only difference being the vocalist.
2003 saw the return of Ted Poley to the band. Danger Danger would then release "Prime Cuts", a collection of rare tracks and demos from the 80s with Ted Poley.
Their latest release is a live album recorded during their last tour with singer Paul Laine.
They also contributed a track called "Naughty Naughty Christmas" to the "Have A Very Hairy Christmas" Compilation.
the record label has sent them back in the studio to record a new album this year 2008. Their latest album is entitled "Revolve" and was released sometime in September 2009
Crawl
Danger Danger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tore the bones right through my flesh
Left me raped and crucified
Made it feel like suicide, suicide
You suffocated me with hate
Spit it all right in my face
Infected me with your disease
Cut my throat and watched me bleed, watch me bleed
Like the acid in my rain
And your God, he might forgive you
But I won't
Crawl, On your hands and knees
Till your conscience bleeds, I wanna see you
Crawl, Like a junkie sick for the needle's prick
I won't forgive you crawl
You're the pusher, I'm the whore
Ate your lies and begged for more
Stuck your promise in my vein
Let your demons stroke my pain, stroke my pain
Still you haunt me like a house
You're the bad taste in my mouth
But revenge is my salvation
I've been waiting
The lyrics to Danger Danger's song "Crawl" speak of a toxic and abusive relationship that has left the singer feeling violated and manipulated. The opening lines describe the physical harm that has been done to the singer, with the metaphorical use of "tore the bones right through my flesh," emphasizing the brutality of the abuse. The singer goes on to describe how the abuser has polluted their mind with "hate" and "disease," making them feel trapped and helpless. The religious imagery of "crucified" and "suicide" adds to the sense of despair and victimization in the lyrics.
Despite the harm that has been done to the singer, they express a desire for revenge and justice. They want to see the abuser "crawl" and suffer for what they've done, using vivid comparisons to drug addiction and prostitution to emphasize the abuser's role as a manipulator and enabler of self-destructive behavior. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer has been waiting for a chance to get revenge, and that they see this as their "salvation."
Overall, the lyrics to "Crawl" paint a bleak portrait of a relationship that has gone horribly wrong. The lyrics use vivid imagery and strong emotions to convey the sense of pain and betrayal that the singer feels, and the desire for revenge that has been simmering beneath the surface. While the lyrics are not particularly subtle, they are effective in conveying the intensity of the singer's emotions and the gravity of the situation.
