Creation and Usage Notes
I forgot whose idea it was, but for whatever reason neither Jessie nor I wanted to translate "not safe", so we looked at the scene and came up with an idiom we thought fit. Literally, the line is "Our songs are a tornado with you"—that is, they are dangerous and cannot be controlled. I thought it was rather artful.
