Radio
Aiden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades
Waking up next to nothing after
Dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone
Waking up so relieved

While you're taking your time with apologies
I'm making my plans for revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong
I'd drive straight off the edge
I'd drive straight off the edge

Taking your own life with boredom
I'm taking my own life with wine
It helps you to rule out the sorrow
It helps me to empty my mind

Making the most of a bad time
I'm smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling
The kettle black and orange and red
This kettle is seeing red

I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard, I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
Plugged in and ready to fall





Plugged in and ready to fall
Plugged in and ready to fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aiden's song Radio are filled with intense emotions and angst. The song opens with the singer comparing their physical and emotional state to that of "shaking like a dog shitting razorblades." The imagery is violent and painful, setting the tone for the rest of the song. They describe waking up with nothing and feeling relieved, but also dreaming of someone who is no longer with them.


The singer is clearly hurt and angry, as they state "while you're taking your time with apologies, I'm making my plans for revenge." They want to take revenge for what was done to them, and they are not interested in apologies. The line "if Columbus was wrong, I'd drive straight off the edge" is a strong indication that they are feeling hopeless and lost, with no desire to continue living.


The chorus reinforces the contrast between the singer and their subject, as they both attempt to cope with their pain. While the subject takes their own life with boredom, the singer takes their own life with wine. The use of the word "rule out" implies that the subject simply wants to forget, while the singer needs to empty their mind entirely. The lines "making the most of a bad time, I'm smoking the brains from my head" suggest that the singer is intentionally self-destructive as a way to deal with their pain.


Overall, the lyrics to Radio are a raw and honest portrayal of someone who has been hurt deeply. The vivid imagery and intense emotions make it a powerful song that speaks to anyone who has experienced heartbreak.

Plugged in and ready to fall
The radio is my lifeline, my only source of comfort and distraction from everything else going on in my life.
