I don't know what you're thinking, sugar, mmm yeah
But I just got that feeling, sugar, mmm yeah
And I can hear the sirens burning
Red lights turning
I can't turn back now
So hold on tight
I don't know where the lights are taking us
But something in the night is dangerous
And nothing's holding back the two of us
Baby, this is getting serious
Oh oh oh oh oh
Detain the dangerous
Oh oh oh oh oh
Show me your soul
I gotta know
Bet that you're beautiful inside
Toes on the glass
Car moving fast
Come take the wheel and drive
I don't know what you're thinking, sugar mmm yeah
And I just got that feeling, sugar mmm yeah
And I can hear the sirens burning
Red lights turning
I can't turn back now
So hold on tight
I don't know where the lights are taking us
But something in the night is dangerous
And nothing's holding back the two of us
Baby, this is getting serious
Oh oh oh oh oh
Detain the dangerous
Oh oh oh oh oh
Detain the dangerous
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I wanna do it again
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I wanna do it again
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I wanna do it again, mmm
I don't know where the lights are taking us
But something in the night is dangerous
And nothing's holding back the two of us
Baby, this is getting serious
Oh oh oh oh oh
Detain the dangerous
Oh oh oh oh oh
Detain the dangerous
语言点讲解:(部分词组请结合剧情理解)
TAKE (ME) DOWN= 这个词组的意思你可以理解为她对他有很大的影响,让他的情绪发生翻天覆地的变化,并且神魂颠倒。她是那个主导的人。You make me feel small.
SPIN (ME) AROUND= 他觉得神魂颠倒,失去掌控。You make me crazy.
RUNNING ALL THE LIGHTS= 和惯用的“running red lights”相似,意为过十字路口的时候碰到红灯没有停下来。结合剧情就是她让他在红灯闪烁时也没有慢下车速,危险但反而心跳加速。
LET ME INSIDE YOUR MIND= Let me know what you are thinking.
SUGAR= 爱人的多样称呼,还有Sweetheart, honey, sweetie等同义词。
THE SIRENS BURNING=尤其是你做了坏事的时候,警报器响起引发紧张感。
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE TAKING US= 这里的lights相当于你路上的引路标志,但是主人公不知道这些标志会带领他们去向好的还是坏的地方,他隐约觉得前方一定是不好的、危险的,因为他随后说"but something in the night is dangerous".
NOTHING IS HOLDING BACK THE TWO OF US= Nothing is restraining us or keeping us under control.
THE DANGEROUS= 这里指的是他们两人,但是语法有误。“The+形容词”=“这一群人有某种品质特征,比如the poor= people who are poor,所以"the dangerous"= "people who are dangerous", 不仅仅指他们两个人。
歌曲解析:
This song is a metaphor. Driving a fast car, with no rules, is in fact an image of a dangerous relationship, a love that will probably make them crash in a most fatal way.
'Dangerous' seems to tell the story of an impending relationship and all the intensity that can lead to two people finally coming together. Very passionate but quite risky too. Here, love is compared to a high-speed chase: car moving fast, running all the lights, dodging sirens...
Sure they are really high and having the time of their lives, but if all the metaphors in the song are worth something, everything points to a fatal end, like an impending car crash that will destroy everything.
