Dangerous

Asiah's song 'Dangerous' delves into the emotional turmoil and existential questions that arise from love, trust, and betrayal. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of vulnerability and the internal conflict of wanting to trust and love but being painfully aware of the dangers that come with it. The repeated lines 'It's dangerous to love, it's dangerous to trust' underscore the artist's struggle with these fundamental human experiences. The phrase 'I do not give a fuck' serves as a defiant declaration of resilience, suggesting a hardened exterior developed from past wounds.

The song also touches on themes of self-reliance and the quest for honesty. Asiah expresses a need for 'recovery' and 'honesty' over love, indicating a preference for genuine connections over superficial relationships. The lines 'I've been building by myself I'm working constantly' and 'You can't get hurt by the presses if you're not making any progress' highlight a relentless work ethic and a focus on personal growth as a means of protection against emotional pain. This sentiment is further emphasized by the metaphorical 'wall' that the artist has built, which symbolizes both a defense mechanism and a barrier to new experiences.

Cultural and societal pressures are also evident in the lyrics. The artist feels watched and judged, as indicated by 'Too many eyes I know the enemy is watching,' yet simultaneously feels unsupported, 'But it feels like nobody is watching my back.' This duality captures the isolating experience of being in the public eye while feeling alone. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the sacrifices made for success and the emotional toll it takes, encapsulated in the lines 'There's a price you gotta pay if you want to play this game.' Asiah's 'Dangerous' is a raw and introspective exploration of the complexities of love, trust, and the relentless pursuit of personal and professional fulfillment.
