Dangerous (feat. YG)

The Neighbourhood's song 'Dangerous,' featuring YG, delves into the complexities of illicit relationships and the allure of the forbidden. The lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist who is well aware of the risks associated with a certain relationship, yet is drawn to it due to an irresistible attraction. The song's narrative is split between the perspectives of the lead singer and the featured artist, YG, each detailing their own experiences with a dangerous love interest.

The Neighbourhood, known for their moody and atmospheric sound, often explores themes of love, lust, and the darker sides of relationships. In 'Dangerous,' they continue this exploration, with lyrics that suggest a sense of conflict and indecision. The protagonist acknowledges having a new girl and the potential for others, yet there's a focus on one particular person who seems to be a source of both excitement and trouble. The repeated line 'We're made to love' suggests a belief in a predestined connection, but this is immediately contrasted with the refrain 'But you're dangerous,' highlighting the tension between desire and the potential for harm.

YG's verse adds another layer to the song, presenting a scenario where infidelity and secrecy lead to complications. He describes a situation where his main partner discovers his infidelity, leading to arguments and the threat of a breakup. YG's candid storytelling about the 'triangle relationship' and the 'dangerous' nature of the affair adds a raw and honest dimension to the song, emphasizing the consequences that come with such relationships. The song ultimately portrays the magnetic pull of a passionate but potentially destructive connection, and the inner turmoil that accompanies it.
