Dangerous
Deep Insight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wanted my attention
Now I've got to pay for it
I'm looking for an answer
But there is no question here
I try to remember
The reason not to say goodbye
And when it's time to surrender
You hit me with a smile

There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous
There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous
There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous

I'm living with a stranger
I've never been afraid of us
The city is a playground
But I don't like the way you touch
I try to remember
Reason not to say goodbye

There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous
There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous
There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous

You cut like a knife
You're the venomous type
Come closer
I live for this thrill
But you've come for the kill
I know it's over

There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous
There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous




There's a bad girl in every good girl
She's dangerous

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Deep Insight's song Dangerous explore the concept of duality within every person, specifically focusing on the idea that there is a "bad girl" within every "good girl." The singer is addressing someone who wanted their attention, but now they have to pay the price for it. They are living with a stranger and are unsure of how to proceed. While the city may be seen as a playground, the way this person touches the singer is concerning. Despite this, the singer tries to remember the reasons for not saying goodbye, but they are hit with a smile that distracts them from their doubts.


The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing that there is a "bad girl" within every "good girl," and that this person is dangerous. It seems clear that the singer is aware of the potential danger this person poses, but they are still drawn to them. This is evident in lines such as "You cut like a knife / You're the venomous type," which indicate that the attraction to the danger is a strong one. However, the singer knows that it is over and that the other person has come for the kill, so there is a sense of finality and melancholy in the ending.


Overall, the lyrics of Dangerous explore the complex nature of human relationships and how we are drawn to certain people despite the potential danger they may present. The singer wrestles with their own feelings and uncertainties, ultimately acknowledging that this attraction is not sustainable.
