Dangerous
The xx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say we're in danger
But I disagree
If proven wrong, shame on me
But you've had faith in me
So I won't shy away
Should it all fall down
You'll have been my favorite mistake
They say
You are dangerous, but I don't care
I'm gon' to pretend that I'm not scared
If this only ends in tears
Then I won't say goodbye
'Cause I couldn't care less
If they call us reckless
Until they are breathless
They must be blind

There are voices ringing over
They keep saying, "Danger, danger"
I can't make them take you under
Makes no difference
No one can take this away
Should it all fall down, I'll treasure each day

They say
You are dangerous, but I don't care
I'm gon' to pretend that I'm not scared
If this only ends in tears
Then I won't say goodbye
'Cause I couldn't
'Cause I couldn't care less
If they call us reckless
Until they are breathless
They must be blind

Let them say there are warning signs
They must be blind
They must be blind
They say





If this only ends in tears
Then I won't say goodbye

Overall Meaning

The xx's song Dangerous is a story of two people who are in love, but others are warning them that they are in danger. The singers of the song, however, disagree and are not fearful. The lyrics "They say we're in danger, but I disagree, if proven wrong, shame on me" shows that they are ready to face the consequences if things don't go as planned. They have faith in each other, which is evident when the lyrics mention "But you've had faith in me, so I won't shy away."


The chorus of the song is particularly interesting as it depicts the singers not caring about what others think of them. "You are dangerous, but I don't care, I'm gon' to pretend that I'm not scared, If this only ends in tears, then I won't say goodbye." It's a bold statement that emphasizes their unwavering love for each other. The line, "If this only ends in tears, then I won't say goodbye," further shows their commitment to each other, even if it leads to heartbreak.


The lyrics of Dangerous suggest that the love between the two is all-consuming and that they will not be swayed by outside voices or warning signs. The line "They must be blind" that is repeated throughout the song suggests that they are in their own world and are not paying attention to the warnings around them. Overall, the song is about taking risks in love and embracing danger, even if it ends in tears.
