"A Dangerous Thing" (originally titled "Dangerous Thing"[1]) is, together with "Everything Matters", the thirty-first single by AURORA and the fifth single off her album, The Gods We Can Touch. On January 7, 2022, it was officially released as a double single.[2]

About the song[]

Interviewed shortly after its release, Aurora said about this song:

"There's a lot of beauty in this world. And there's a lot of ugly. I was surprised to learn how often the ugly is disguised as beauty. How often poison is disguised as wine. And life disguised as death. And when we learn that what we thought was good for us, is in fact bad for us - even then we tend to go return to it. Because at least it's familiar. And all we ever dream about is home. Seductive, yet destructive. A dangerous thing indeed."[3]

Aurora later explained to Apple Music:

"I placed 'A Dangerous Thing' after 'A Temporary High' because 'A Temporary High' ends with a guitar. And I wanted to jump into a guitar pattern right after."[4][5]

In the book, Aurora wrote the following:

"I feel so bad for the people who had so much good in them. So much joy and life. Who met the wrong person. And they were forever changed. Forever broken. It's so tragic. How we can feel so ruined because of someone else."[6]

Lyrics[]

Something about you is soft like an angel
And something inside you is violence and danger
I knew from the moment we met
You are a dangerous thing

When you are with me I feel like I'm living
And living besides you can be unforgiving
I knew from the very first step
You are a dangerous thing

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end (no love in the end)
No love in the end
No love in the end

Something about you is warm and sedusive and
When you're with me you're cold and abusive
I knew from the second we met
You are a dangerous flame
You are a dangerous flame

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end (no love in the end)
No love in the end
No love in the end

No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

I don't think I know myself
Without your help
Oh, I wonder why have you got
A heaven deep inside of me
I keep the light on
It keeps me warm
I hate it when I fall for your illusion of love
I know this is not love

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
There's no love in the end
I hope you will come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end

There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you will call
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end (no love in the end)
No love in the end
No love in the end

No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
