Your Kind
Danger Radio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To some degree
Thought I could be
Someone who shows you possibilities
But the latency is killing me
You crush me with your stare
I suddenly turn so aware
You're not the type of girl I should be with
Caught me
Inside I know I'm fighting
But I still keep on trying
To get to you
Keep breathing
I know you're so deceiving
But I can't help
That I'm so hooked on you
Speak to me
Wish you could see
You're always on my mind
The things you do
All your pursuits
Trying to keep a distance
I know your kind
Speak to me
Wish you could see
You're always on my mind
The things you do
All your pursuits
Trying to keep a distance
I know your kind
She quickly finds her way inside of me, brings me so close, I can't compete
My nerves are shocked from the anxiety
I'm trembling
But then it hits me
I'm not the type of man
To sit and stare I understand
But I keep gravitating to you
It was so unplanned
Caught me
Inside I know I'm fighting
But I still keep on trying
To get to you
Keep breathing
I know you're so deceiving
But I can't help
That I'm so hooked on you
Speak to me
Wish you could see
You're always on my mind
The things you do
All your pursuits
Trying to keep a distance
I know your kind
Speak to me
Wish you could see
You're always on my mind
The things you do
All your pursuits
Trying to keep a distance
I know your kind
Keep setting aside everything
That I was told about you
Can't get you off my mind
Can't seem to find a way
To leave you behind
And forget
Or rewind
Speak to me...
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Wish you could see
You're always on my mind
The things you do
All your pursuits
Trying to keep a distance
Because I know your kind
Speak to me
Wish you could see
You're always on my mind
The things you do
All your pursuits
Trying to keep a distance
I know your kind
The song "Your Kind" by Danger Radio is about being infatuated with someone who is not good for you. The first verse talks about seeing someone who you know you shouldn't be with, but you can't help being attracted to them. The singer is aware that he is fighting a losing battle but can't stop trying to pursue the other person, which causes him anxiety and makes him nervous around them. Despite all this, he cannot erase the other person from his mind.
In the second verse, the singer realizes that he's not the kind of person who would typically be attracted to the other person, but he still can't seem to resist them. He is aware that the other person is not good for him and is intentionally trying to distance themselves from him, but he is so hooked on them that he keeps coming back.
The chorus reiterates how the singer can't stop thinking about the other person, and even though he knows they're deceiving him and keeping a distance, he's still drawn to them. The repetition emphasizes that the singer is not able to break away from this cycle of attraction and knows that he is bound to get hurt.
Overall, "Your Kind" is about the internal struggle of being unable to resist someone who is toxic for you. It explores the themes of infatuation, anxiety, and the inability to control one's emotions.

I am not the kind of person
To sit and stare I understand
To just sit idly by and do nothing, I understand
But I keep gravitating to you
But I continue to be drawn to you
It was so unplanned
My feelings for you were unexpected
Keep setting aside everything
I am ignoring everything else in my life
That I was told about you
Everything I heard about you from others
Can't get you off my mind
I cannot stop thinking about you
Can't seem to find a way
I cannot find any solution or alternative
To leave you behind
To distance myself from you
And forget
And erase you from my memory
Or rewind
Or change my actions in the past
