Shinedown - 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
As God as my witness
I won't be left defenseless
As God as my witness
I'd rather be dangerous
Dangerous

    This song have changed my life❗

  36. J.... B....

    My mom doesn't approve of me (a female) taking jiu jitsu classes for the purpose of self-defense and refusing to be another damsel in distress. I also have friends who think it's weird or a waste of time. Thank you Shinedown for capturing my feelings so well while I've been feeling so misunderstood. Women AND men alike: don't be voiceless! It's better to be dangerous! Ossss!

    J.... B....

    Jess B My mum is the exact opposite. She encourages that I learn to defend myself and I've been doing karate for about 6 years now

    J.... B....

    I really enjoy doing Martial arts and I think it's a really good thing, especially if you're a women

    J.... B....

    There's more girls than boys in my Taekwon-do class! Keep it up everyone, be dangerous!

    J.... B....

    Yes im a boxer and love those kind of sports
    Keep doing it no matter what anyone thinks of you

  37. S.... W....

    man brent has the voice for it all. he sounds exactly the same in concert as he does on the album.

  38. J.... S....

    Obviously 143 people have absolutely dead emotions right now..

  39. S.... F....

    The fact that this says "as God as my witness" rather than "with God as my witness" bothers me immensely. That's such a common misconception, but it's horribly incorrect grammar.

  40. S.... 7....

    Love itIt's just the best

  41. L.... L....

    i like cut the core and this dong :3

  42. S.... ....

    when you're trying to listen to some good worth a crap music and your friend shows you pepa pig remakes and thinks its funny.
    -.-

  43. N.... N....

    this song fits espicially that I am pooping.

  44. N.... B....

    This song pretty much describes milo yoannopolous

  45. T.... R....

    I like this and misfits !!!

  46. K.... P....

    this is my theme song

  47. A.... L....

    this is amazing.💜😂

  48. W.... ....

    I can't remember the name of the pop song that the chorus of this song sounds like, any help?

  49. R.... L....

  50. Y.... E....

    shinedown is so fuckin awesome

  51. J.... B....

    Its the word. Dangerous. I like that. Fuck it!

  52. S.... C....

    _Freaking love this song!_ 
    I was convinced that "The Sound of Madness" would always be my favorite album.  But I do believe that "Threat to Survival" is my favorite, the whole album is very empowering.

  53. I.... ....

    This song describes Donald Trump perfectly

    I.... ....

    this is many of us.

  54. F.... W....

    love this song

    Dangerous

  57. T.... ....

    With me being born into a family of English teachers and stuff, I just can not get over the, "As God as my witness" line. "WITH God as my witness" us what should be in the song. "As God as my witness" makes no sense to me. Unless he is as God as his witness... you know like a simile.

  58. C.... ....

    крутая песня! в моем плейлисте навсегда!!!!

  59. c.... ....

    Really good rock song to listen to but The State of My Head is still my favourite Shinedown song!!!

    c.... ....

    well said dude

  60. J.... B....

    Love the band since, When I was little

  61. J.... L....

    This is by far my fav song on the album

  62. J.... -....

    It certainly ain't the same as what they were, but they still put out a great album IMO!

  63. A.... M....

    I liked their older albums better. "Fly from the inside" & "I'm alive" are definitely my two favorites. but there's just something about their new stuff & I'm not a fan.

  64. M.... L....

    Listen here you savage cabbages!!!.................................................................................................................................................................... Carry on:)

  65. j.... v....

    Shinedown is probably the most underrated and underappreciated rock band in the last 20yrs. They can do it all. Hard metal rock to soft rock and they always kill it!

    j.... v....

    Dann straight, Well said.

    j.... v....

    So true

    j.... v....

    it's underrestimated only coz they are super soy in attention attention

    j.... v....

    People keep telling me that Shinedown is garbage. Music speaks to everyone differently, and I'm glad to be a part of this fan base. Everyone I've met has been amazing and I want to thank everyone here for staying awesome!

  66. G.... R....

    this is the fucking song to listen to during school!!!!!!!!

  67. L.... ....

    you guys r ganna hate me
    when i first heard this i heard "maybe if moms were 10 ft tall"

    L.... ....

    LazyCobra lmao now that's all I hear

    L.... ....

    I don't blame you.

    L.... ....

    ME TOO, I had to go back and listen again to figure out what it was XD ahhahah its "my arms"

    L.... ....

    LOL I heard it too

    L.... ....

    LazyCobra that is beautiful **wipes tear**

  68. S.... ....

    That AMV guy brought me here

  69. n.... s....

    Electronic, but, still heavy. 2nd or 3rd best song on the album and one of the nonpop songs, at least in my opinion.

  70. �.... �....

    idluehd

  71. N.... S....

    Will you be making a video for this song ?

  72. D.... ....

    Tomorrow night!!!
    Can't freaking wait!!!

    trueeeeee

  74. K.... D....

    this should be next single!!!

  75. A.... B....

    another amazing album!!! my 6 yr old son knows every word to this album

    A.... B....

    Parenting done the right way lol

  76. N.... J....

    Guys, so I just learned that every single song in this album can be listened at 1.5 speed and still be amazing.

    N.... J....

    sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    N.... J....

    @***** Yeah, it kinda depends on what type of music you listen to normally. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all.

    N.... J....

    It also seems what mood you're in. Say if you're exercising or doing work. Listening to it at 1.5 speed gave me some energy but the 1.25 barely changes the song but it still has a great beat.

    N.... J....

    I totally agree.

    N.... J....

    N Judt because they will forever sound amazing.

  77. L.... B....

    Shinedown... AWESOME!

  78. C.... O....

    dat smiley face in the egg

  79. V.... M....

    Love them

  80. N.... ....

  83. A.... B....

    I'm loving this song for its lyrics and the music is pretty cool

  84. A.... B....

    This song describes me in so many ways. Well a lot of their songs do

    A.... B....

    oh damn watch out

  85. S.... T....

    All in my head...everyday Shinedown! I hope to see you live in Ms. coming up in July! Need to win tickets!

  86. J.... S....

    Bad Ass

  87. X.... ....

    This song is so good not for the beat, but more for the message. The mainstream media is trying to push their agenda on us to silence us from voicing our opinions if we don't go along with everything they say. We need to stand up and start a revolution! #TRUMP2016

    X.... ....

    +XXXXXALEXJONESXXXXX They have been doing this for a VERY long time I always say whatever the hell i want no matter what They can't say shit Cause I won't go down easy Basically they try saying shit about what I've said And they get a fucking Boot to the FACE XD Seriously though You can't stand there and let them do what they want ALWAYS FIGHT BACK NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER SURRENDER! Basically the media is a Bully and the best way to beat a bully isn't to "tell someone" that just makes it worse FIGHTING BACK SHOWS BACKBONE AND MAKES THE BULLY'S BACK DOWN! I hate always seeing shit about bullying like Oh tell a parent or a teacher. I mean IT TOTALLY WORKS SO WELL its like telling a wall that you are being bullied IT NEVER MAKES IT
    JUST WORSE (Sorry this is so long) But ya basically the media are bully's and they need to be stopped

  88. R.... ....

    Shinedown Nailed It!

    R.... ....

    They certainly did

  89. B.... ....

    This, Cut The Cord are really the only good songs on this album in my opinion

  90. t.... c....

    lo mejor

  91. O.... R....

    suprised no one in the comments have complained about shindowns "new sound". shinedown has the best best fanbase ^-^

    O.... R....

    Well I'm afraid that times have changed XD

    O.... R....

    Lol look at the newest songs. Sooooooo many are whining about the "new shinedown"

    O.... R....

    Padmé Amidala it’s true

  92. L.... E....

    I don't understand how to do this with no help from you or anyone else for that money don't mean anything to me know that I had it all at one point time in life and they are a problem still u not send it never will sorry the stores I really no I made it with no problems whatsoever. if what you think about rest your soul I have no problems whatsoever making that happen

  93. B.... K....

    Just saw these guys live in Deadwood South Dakota a week ago. Small 2900 seat venue. Also on Sturgis last August. They were absolutely amazing both shows. Really have the ability to make you feel part of what they are about. Definitely a favorite of mine since the beginning.
