Black as night cold to the touch... mmmm

Caught in a game of hit and run... mmmm

Out of the dark I'll steal your heart

The lyrics of "Criminal" in Ra.One's soundtrack indicate a sense of deviance and danger that the singer embodies. The first two lines establish this through the description of the character's traits- born bad in their blood, black as night, and cold to the touch. These attributes give a sense of fear and distance towards the character. The next two lines, "out of the dark, I'll steal your heart, light up a match and I'll never look back" show that this character is not afraid to take risks and harm others in their pursuit of fulfillment.
The chorus is comes from the perspective of the singer, who is describing their own character- "you don't know what you are in for." It's an admission, almost a warning, about the type of person they are- the criminal. This is supported by the next lines "lock me up, throw away the key, ain't nobody as dangerous as me I'm a criminal", emphasizing that this person is not to be messed with.
The second verse also reinforces this character, saying that they play a game of hit and run and like the chase and the rush. This person is not motivated by money, but rather the excitement of the hunt- a true criminal at heart. Overall, the song's lyrics capture the essence of danger, fear, and recklessness associated with a true criminal.
