Radio
Angels Saints and Heroes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold loosely to my hand
'Cause it's a long, long road,
And you don't know and I don't know
where it goes or where it ends.
It's a long, long road.

You're gonna get back on the front page.
Baby, take turns driving your Mercedes.
Get back? You don't even know if you can.
Get back on the runway.
Honey, do it for love not for money.
Get back? You don't even know if you can.

It's complicated.
It's long and winded.
I've been frustrated.
"But I know you can make it."

I sell my passion for a dime,
unto a thousand hungry eyes.
I covet kingdoms crumbling,
What will we do when the fickle flee?





I'm yours if you don't say maybe.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Radio" by Angels Saints and Heroes invoke a sense of uncertainty and ambiguity about the future. The opening lines "Hold loosely to my hand, 'Cause it's a long, long road" express the idea of going through life with someone but not knowing where the journey will take them. The repetition of the phrase "It's a long, long road" only emphasizes the ambiguity and anticipation of what is to come.


The song then moves on to talk about success and how it's not always easy to achieve. The lines "You're gonna get back on the front page. Baby, take turns driving your Mercedes. Get back? You don't even know if you can" convey a message of encouragement but also contain the idea that success is not guaranteed. The artist urges the listener to pursue their dreams and go after what they want regardless of the challenges they face.


The chorus is where the song takes on a more vulnerable and introspective tone. The lyrics "I sell my passion for a dime, unto a thousand hungry eyes. I covet kingdoms crumbling, What will we do when the fickle flee?" express the idea that even though the artist has a talent and passion for music, it's difficult to make a living from it. The final line "I'm yours if you don't say maybe" reveals the artist's willingness to do what it takes to succeed, even if it means sacrificing their passion for a steady income.


Overall, "Radio" is a reflection on the uncertainties and challenges of pursuing one's goals and passions. The lyrics encourage the listener to take risks and pursue their dreams, but also acknowledge that success is not guaranteed.

I desire the downfall of other powerful entities,


What will we do when the fickle flee?
What actions should we take when uncommitted people abandon us?


I'm yours if you don't say maybe.
I wholly belong to you unless you're hesitant.
