Danger
The Plague Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't believe a word they say
Don't believe a word they say
They say they fill you up but they only break you down
And once they crawl inside they got you figured out
They crush your spirit, blind your vision
Paralysed with doubt
And leave a gaping hole inside so you can't know yourself
Danger
You're screaming danger
The Plague's song Danger is a critique and warning against the dangerous consequences of blindly following and believing everything people say. The repeated phrase, "Don't believe a word they say," emphasizes the theme of skepticism and caution. The lyrics convey the idea that people who try to fill us up with their opinions and beliefs often end up breaking us down instead. The second verse suggests that these individuals have the ability to crawl inside our minds and manipulate us, leaving us paralyzed with doubt and lacking a true sense of ourselves. The final lines of the song, "You're screaming danger," reflect the urgency and importance of being aware of the negative impact others can have on our lives.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't believe a word they say
The people around you can't be trusted blindly and their words shouldn't be taken for granted.
They say they fill you up but they only break you down
People who appear to have your best interests in mind might actually lead you to your downfall.
And once they crawl inside they got you figured out
Once someone infiltrates your life, they might manipulate and control you into doing their bidding.
They crush your spirit, blind your vision
These people destroy your confidence and prevent you from seeing the truth.
Paralysed with doubt
This manipulation and deceit can lead to confusion and uncertainty, leaving you unable to make decisions.
And leave a gaping hole inside so you can't know yourself
The effects of their actions are so damaging that you lose your sense of self and don't know who you are anymore.
Danger
There is imminent danger and you need to act quickly to prevent harm.
You're screaming danger
The urgency and gravity of the situation cannot be ignored.
