The song is mainly about Rivers Cuomo and his days as a teenager in Connecticut, and the shenanigans he and his friends would get into. They called their antics "getting dangerous". [[Adam Orth]], a longtime friend of Cuomo, posted a [[Getting Dangerous|blog entry]]<ref name="Getting Dangerous">Orth, Adam. "we should have died a long time ago." 3 June 2008. Archived by ''Wayback Machine''. https://web.archive.org/web/20080610144622/http://web.mac.com/adamorth/adam_orth/words./Entries/2008/6/3_we_should_have_died_a_long_time_ago..html</ref> in [[2008]] on his website explaining events referenced in the song's lyrics. | |||
{{Gray quote box|[[Image:Adamorthhead.png]]|Rivers used to have this Toyota Tercel and he would drive me and Justin (and sometimes Matt Hayes) home after school. Since we lived in the country (as opposed to the city) there were all sorts of crazy winding roads and hills in our town. This one particularly steep hill on Gurleyville road that led down to Justin’s house was epic. Steep as hell with an unreal 90 degree dead man’s curve at the bottom. Growing up, I saw many cars wreck on that corner. People died there. | {{Gray quote box|[[Image:Adamorthhead.png]]|Rivers used to have this Toyota Tercel and he would drive me and Justin (and sometimes Matt Hayes) home after school.
