Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And i can say that they are wrong, but
I'm bad, i'm bad
And i can never change it
I'm mad, i'm mad
And you won't have to face it
My head is feeling so conflicted
How can i be so damn addicted?
You know you know...
If you want a soldier, then maybe i am
If you want a warrior, then maybe i am
You can't run away, you can't run away
It's in my dna, its' in my dna
If you want a killer, then maybe i am
If you want a thriller, then maybe i am
You can't run away, you can't run away
It's in my dna, its' in my dna
I don't ever wanna change me
I am just the girl i should be
I'm bad, i'm bad
I see you kinda like it
I'm mad, i'm mad
No use tryin to fight it
How can i be so conflicted?
We should't be so damn restricted
You know you know that i ain't playing

If you want a warrior, then maybe i am
You can't run away, you can't run away

The opening lines of "DNA" by Wanessa immediately introduce the complex character at its center, who is struggling with a perception problem. Some people see her as a monster, but she disagrees with that assessment. She is bad, mad and addicted to something that she can't quite put her finger on. She is conflicted and feels restricted, but she also knows that she can't change who she is. The chorus of the song makes it clear that all these traits are in her DNA, and they can't be escaped. The listener is invited to decide whether they want a soldier, warrior, killer, or thriller, because she is all those things.
