Danger Zone
Kenny Loggins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone
Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the deck
Shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the danger zone
I'll take you right into the danger zone

They never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go

Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity

Highway to the danger zone
Gonna take you right into the danger zone

Highway to the danger zone
Right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
Gonna take you right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
Right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
Gonna take you right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone




Right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone

Overall Meaning

Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” is a high-octane rock song that celebrates the thrill of living on the edge. The song describes the adrenaline rush of speeding down a highway, feeling the power of the engine and the speed of the vehicle. The lyrics are full of references to danger, risk-taking, and a desire for intense experiences. The chorus repeats the phrase “Highway to the danger zone” as a way of emphasizing the excitement and danger of the situation.


The song is not just about the thrill of speed, though. It is also about the mindset of those who seek out high-risk experiences. The lyrics suggest that people who are drawn to danger are different from others; they are willing to push themselves to their limits and beyond. This gives them a sense of purpose and a feeling of aliveness that they cannot find anywhere else.


In summary, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins is a celebration of the rush that comes with living on the edge. It is a song about the thrill of speed, the mindset of risk-takers, and the sense of purpose that can come from pushing oneself to the limit.
