Dangerous Lyrics

I could stand behind my barricade
Do what I'm told and be afraid to change
While isolated by the mainstream
With the current up against me

Well maybe if my arms were ten feet tall
I could finally reach that crystal ball

'Cause I still find inside
There's something braver
And I, I won't be, I won't be
The silent damnation

I will never be voiceless
My weapon of choice is
I'd rather be dangerous
I won't be left defenseless
As God as my witness
I'd rather be dangerous (dangerous)

I'm not making conversation
But I'll state my observations

Well I could buy my faith like a plot in the ground
But I was never lost and I never had a doubt

'Cause I still find
It's not my imagination
And I, I won't be, I won't be
The silent damnation

I will never be voiceless
My weapon of choice is
I'd rather be dangerous
I won't be left defenseless
As God as my witness
I'd rather be dangerous (dangerous)

Everybody
Is somebody
And anybody is you
I own my story
I won't say sorry
And neither should you

I will never be
I will never be voiceless
My weapon of choice is
I'd rather be dangerous
I won't be left defenseless
As God as my witness
I'd rather be dangerous

Everybody
Is somebody
And anybody is you
I will never be voiceless (will never be voiceless)
As God as my witness (as God as my witness)
I won't be left defenseless
As God as my witness
I'd rather be dangerous, dangerous

What is the Meaning of Dangerous?

In this powerful anthem, Shinedown confronts the theme of self-empowerment and defiance against conformity. The lyrics articulate a refusal to remain passive or silenced by societal pressures, symbolizing a fight for individuality and resistance against being marginalized. The repeated declaration of preferring to be "dangerous" rather than voiceless or defenseless serves as a bold assertion of the speaker's choice to embrace risk over submission. This stance is further amplified by invoking divine witness, suggesting a moral righteousness in their resolve. Ultimately, the song champions the importance of owning one’s narrative and standing firm in one's beliefs, regardless of external judgments or expectations.
