Dangerzone
Mad Sin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thinking about times that used to be
I past the park where I first got laid down by the canal
Where I met my mates
We were the kids of the wall town
Misfits of society and it felt like no way out
But we shouted it out proud
Smash down the world
In the danger zone
Smash down the world
And we were not alone
I don't mind the pain and the sorrow
Smash down the world
In the danger zone
Smash down the world
And we were not alone
And I still don't mind the pain
Fighting, stealing, drinking and dealing
To scared to shed a tear and show a feeling
We were young but we saw through your lies
I raised the clenched fist with bloodshed eyes
We were one for all and all against this world
What ever happened back then, we still haven't turned into men
Just out for fun always hated your schools
Chased by the cops never believed in your rules
But what you are is what you get that's what my mother said
The lyrics of Mad Sin's song 'Dangerzone' encapsulate the brash, rebellious spirit of youth that refuses to be boxed in or tamed by societal norms. The opening lines "The ghosts of the past come haunting me, I'm thinking about times that used to be" evoke a sense of wistfulness and nostalgia for the wild, carefree days of youth, which is then followed by a paean to the punk ethos of defiance against the system. The park where the singer had his first sexual encounter becomes a symbol of youthful rebellion, as he reminisces about the times when he and his mates were outcasts and misfits who proudly rejected conformity and celebrated their status as 'kids of the wall town.' The refrain, "Smash down the world in the danger zone, and we were not alone," further emphasizes the sense of camaraderie and shared defiance that characterizes punk culture.
The second verse highlights the ways in which the singer and his friends continued to rebel against authority figures and societal expectations, even as they grew older. They engaged in all manner of illicit activities - fighting, stealing, drinking and dealing - but always remained resolute in their refusal to bend to the will of others. They were "young but saw through your lies," and remained "one for all and all against this world." The lyrics suggest that despite the hardships they faced and the dangers they encountered, the singer and his friends maintained a fierce sense of independence and self-reliance that allowed them to confront life's challenges head-on.

The ghosts of the past come haunting me
Thoughts of the past are still bothering me
I'm thinking about times that used to be
Recalling the times that have passed
I past the park where I first got laid down by the canal
I walked by the place where I had my first sexual encounter near the waterway
Where I met my mates
I met my friends there
We were the kids of the wall town
We were youngsters from a region where the walls had significance
Misfits of society and it felt like no way out
We were outsiders of society and it seemed like there was no escape
But we shouted it out proud
Though we felt trapped, we still expressed our independence boldly
Smash down the world
The world doesn't define us; we can overcome it
In the danger zone
We're ready to take risks
And we were not alone
Our friends were with us along the way
I don't mind the pain and the sorrow
I can handle the discomfort and sadness that come with our lifestyle
Fighting, stealing, drinking and dealing
We engaged in aggressive, lawless behavior and even sold substances
To scared to shed a tear and show a feeling
We were too frightened to be vulnerable and show our emotions
We were young but we saw through your lies
Despite our youth, we were wise enough to recognize your deceit
I raised the clenched fist with bloodshed eyes
I showed my anger through a symbol of resistance while bleeding from my eyes
We were one for all and all against this world
We stood united against the entire world
What ever happened back then, we still haven't turned into men
Regardless of the past, we're still not matured adults
Just out for fun always hated your schools
We only cared about enjoying ourselves and not conforming to your educational system
Chased by the cops never believed in your rules
We were pursued by police and rejected your regulations
But what you are is what you get that's what my mother said
My mother taught me to accept the consequences of my actions
