Transmission
Aiden Lyrics

Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission

Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark gray lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio

Well, I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learned are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that's all we need know
To synchronize love to the beat of the show
And we could dance

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio




Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aiden's song "Transmission" talk about a world where people are living in darkness and silence. The singer talks about how they would have a good time living in the night, but they are all waiting for their sight. They would continue on as though nothing is wrong, and yet they remain alone.


The lyrics also talk about touching from a distance and how they are getting further away from each other as time passes. The song's chorus calls for dancing to the radio, as that is all they need to synchronize love with the beat of the show. They have learned that language is not necessary, just the sound that the radio provides.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a feeling of isolation and a longing for togetherness through music.
